'04 maximas

[hank heavens]

ok, we've all seen the new 2004 maxima on tv and in a parking lot somewhere, right? I gotta say, I don't like it. the body is too pill shaped. don't get me wrong, I like the performance, but that body style turns me off. Any one else feel the same way?

[SkyTorch]

The shape is growing on me. Personally, I don't like the way it drives. It handles like a big car, kinda clumsy. I think my stock '97 corners better.

i guarantee you 97 corners better. the first thing i noticed when jumping from a 95 to an 02 was that the 02 has one of the shittiest turning radii in any car i've ever been in. second only to the 04.
i think the 04's are ugly, and extremely over weight. 3500lbs? what happened to the maxima's that were just over or just under(4th gen) 3000lbs. adding 10 hp to a car does't do anything when you add an extra 300lbs

Definitely agree with you on that last part>adding 10 hp to an extra 300lbs does nothing for your performance only helps to move the extra 300lbs a little easier.

The look of the 04 has grown on me but I'm still not crazy about em.

well i got to say that from the get go i really liked the ass on the 04. big and bulky, specially the rear window pillars overlapping the window like the Lexus GS series. i can't say the same for the tooth.. but there are other grills to come for it.. as far as performance goes..IMO, this new generation Maxima is strikly pimpin'.. throw some chrome dubs and slight drop on it and just chill.. definetely not track material.

have they come up with the fish eye rewire mod yet?

[VQmax95]

I only like the 04s in black. In any other color they look bad. I can't stand that grill as well...what was Nissan thinking?

[hank heavens]

exactly! they put that ugly cheap lookin' grill on all their nissans. im mad.

[VQmax95]

Yeah I know how you feel. I'm glad they didn't pass it on to the 350. That would have been hideous. I hope this isn't a trend that goes on for very long.

[Caracicatriz]

I like the Back and Hate the front. I think with a different grill, some rims, and a nice body kit it could be a real pimp car. As far as performance I'd rather have an 03 max.

that's renaults influnce, since they bought into nissan. the new sentra's have that front, the nissan frontier, the maxima. i wouldn't be surprised to see it on other cars. i hate it too.

I dont remember seein a Frontier with that ugly front I know that the Quest has it.

word, that's what i meant. one of the non cars

[REDLAVA106]

Personally, I hated the car at first as well. I did not like the front at all. Now I own one and would not trade it for anything. The car handles extremely well (even though it is heavy). I would buy it again. It is a look that has to grow on you and once it does, you'll love it.

[deadmaninc]

Man you must have not driven other cars saying that it handles well. Most reviews I read said the 5th gen had better handling and turning radius.
