sure, its RWD, but aside from that, they're pretty much the same car.
the altima is close to the maxima, but having driven them both, the altima doesn't near compare to the maxima in terms of space, quality, design, and ride dynamics.
but I haven't driven anything other than the 2.5S, so I couldn't tell you about the SE-R or 3.5S altima. But the maxi's cabin is 100x better :drool:

the new nissans in general are really surprising. The Pathfinder is a GREAT suv (I wish I could afford one), the Armada and Titan are fucking beasts with the 5.6l torque whore engines. The altima/maxima/sentra are probably the better cars one can rent from enterprise (compared to some of the crap the big 3 puts out)....
but they're still riddled with problems. The two 5.6 vehicles have shoddy brakes that have been warping around 12-13k (waaay too early). some of the sentra's and altima's have issues with buttons and small shit like that. then there's been the oddball issues, like smoking engines and whatnot. One time an armada's radio system fried out, and they had to replace the whole unit.

if I paid 10k too much for a 350z with a rear seat, I'd be pretty upset too :chuckles:

I got mixed up because 2003 was the last year of that style Maxima, and I was thinkin new Maxima, but it came out in 2004.
So what 18SecFerio drove was this:
And what you drove was this:

But I caused confusion cuz I forgot about the I35 which is what ED9man was talkin about.

It had a V6, 2004 model. Maybe not FWD.
yeah, I am pretty sure it is the one your posted fatbooty. (I should learn some first names
