Comments
"We feel that the Maxima SE has
a terrific engine - the ease of acceleration makes it a pleasure
to drive, especially on long-distance trips. The interior is
roomy and the design of the dashboard is simple which is a feature
that I like a lot. I also think that it is very cool that the
gauges reverse color for day and night -black on white during
the day and white on black at night! The BOSE sound system is
great - I love my music!! The trunk design is not the greatest
- it has wires (?) running across the top which get in the way
of loading the truck. Also, my husband thinks the seats are too
low, making it more difficult to get in and out of the car. Overall,
however, I LOVE my Maxima."
