I'll be honest, I just went in to waste some time. I was having another car that I was buying that day, checked out in the service area. So, I looked at a few of the cars on display and a salesperson came over with a new guy. I don't know if they were running a game on me, but they got me behind the seat of this car. And then they invited me to go as fast as I wanted. This was in Southern Cali, on the freeway, where 80 is the de rigueur. Did I mention I race professionally? And I had the best radar detector on the market with me. I don't think I can legally say what speed I did, but it's listed on the specs. Not only did I buy that other car that day. I bought the Maxima too.

The Maxima I bought was a Certified Pre-owned Champagne colored 1998 Maxima GLE. The car was a bit more expensive than I had planed to spend; but, after sitting in the black leather seats and took the car for a spin, I couldn’t resist. There was enough power to feel like you can overtake when necessary. The Bose stereo system is incredible. The fuel economy could be better for a V6 engine, but nothing out of the norm for 1998. The suspension is fairly soft to ensure a smooth ride, which means that you won’t handle as well as you think it should with the amount of power if has. The brakes could be better but adequate for the car and it does have ABS. In the 11 years that I’ve owned the car, the car has only been in the shop in the shop for serious repairs only a few times. The positives though easily out way the negatives, so all in all I’m really satisfied with my purchase.
