in my opinion, the altima is the looker and better performer straight line and cornering. but the interior on the max is nice~~~~!!! sit in both cars, feel the paint job, touch the leather, and look underneth the car. the max is better in every quality department. they even got thin layer of plasticy rubber underneith the car soo that i wodln't rust as easily.

Maxima is suppose to be better than Altima. If it wasn't then Nissan have some serious problem.

However if I had to pick between the two I would still pick Altima.

Which one of these two is faster....1/4 on the max is 14.2....i need something safe with ABS that is around -24k

Max is around 24 at the price I can get it
and the 3.5 se altima is 21k......so any ideas would help


is either that or a HONDUH accord 4 banger with a 5 speed

now thats a easy choice. hmmmmmmmmm you can either get either cars that are bigger, faster, has two more cylinders, and looks better (IMO) vs. a economy car, thats sohc. definitly any of the first choices. get either one, they're both good.

The Maxima is more refined then the Altima. When we were in the market for a car a few months ago, we eliminated the Altima since the maxima "felt" better. We ended up with the Accord since it felt even more solid and was a few K cheaper. We got it as the grocery getter so that bit of performance advantage of the Nissan was not all that important.

i think you know how i feel about maximas

anyway, there's an option at the bottom of the page when you create a post that asks you if you want to create a poll. make sure you fill in the subject and message fields before you click submit then put a check in the box where it asks you if you want to create a poll and click submit, it'll take you to another page where you can create the poll. click the submit at the bottom after you've entered the poll question and options and you have your poll. if you're having trouble, PM a moderator or myself.

back to the subject, for the looks department, the altima. for everything else, i'd choose the maxima.

Altima. ahhhhh, why Nissan had to do this......

TODAY was crazy, I pulled out in front of traffic on a hill at school

So I was like Shizzits, and I floor it and I smoked my wheels and it redlined at 7000RPM then it went down to like 5000RPM and I went to second and the wheels spun a little more, It was all uphill, but it was totally on accident. I was like damn it, my friend was like so suprised my car was fast.....he was like wholy sh*t
