"The Maxima concept: flagship luxury and award-winning V6 performance in one unique package. For 2002, we took this concept more seriously than ever. Starting with performance and a boost to 255 horsepower. Which ignited, of course, an equally powerful surge on the luxury side. Anything less and we couldn't have called it a Maxima." -- www.nissandriven.com


Automatic Gated Shifter
     MAXIMA....4-door family car....Or, is it? On Valentines day, 2002, I decided it was time to purchase a new car. I had been looking and checking into different models (for months) and had limited my choices. What pushed me towards the Maxima was a '02 SE I rented for a trip. I liked it mucho! So, on that fine day, I purchased a new 2002 Nissan Maxima SE.



In general, the Max is a great car. 255hp 3.5L V6, 4sp automatic tranny, 17" rims, Bose stereo w/6-disc in-dash CD changer, sunroof, etc. For a family sedan, it has great "get-up-n-go". It is definately in the top of its class from a performance standpoint. The only issue I have with it at this time is the suspension. While it has a sport-tuned suspension, it is too soft

and mushy. Bordering on luxury car handling, but, better at the same time. Can we say "upgrade"? Why, yes we can. And thus starts 6 years of light modifications.
