Default My review of the 2005 Nissan Maxima 3.5SE

:thumbup:

had a night out with the boys. we were downtown heading to a bar, and a newer altima 2.5 pulled up next to us at a stoplight. the light turns green, and we're matching speeds, when he suddenly punches it. I take him with easy, and wave as we go by :reechy:

later, we pulled along side a previous generation mustang gt, and gun it right past. he never caught up.

after I drop off my friends, I'm heading home and stop at a light along side a 5th gen civic (aqua green coupe) lowered on 17" white rims and altezza's. the light turns green, and I pretty much teased him as he was flooring it, and I was gunning it just enough to get past him :chuckles:

then after that, I did pretty much the same thing to a foxbody mustang.

its nice to drive a fast car h:

We have an 02 255 hp SE. I love the acceleration on that thing. But the torque steer is rediculous.

I test drove one a couple of weeks ago. I liked the power, but I'm not a big fan of how it looks :happysad:

There is no Infiniti equivalent.

Maxima is front wheel drive, basically a bigger version of the Altima.

The G35, which I'm guessing is what you are talking about, is rear wheel drive, and smaller than the Altima.
