Pros

Great styling, easy to maintain engine.

Cons

Leather interior is hot, window motors break easily.  Also, anti-theft system activates randomly.

4 Door Family Sports Car — It's my sister's old car, so the interior is starting to wear, and the electrical system needs some work to it. But it's a great car. It has the stock 3.0 Liter V6 with dual overheads and 200 horsepower, and you can definitely feel the power. It's mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission and has a power/comfort switch to change the gear ratios for either more acceleration or a less bumpy ride.

Grea Fun Car. — This car was great! I loved it! It was a 4DSC (4 door sports car) It was so much fun! I wish I hadn't traded this one in for a newer one. the older version that I had was better than the newer one.

Great car for me!

My Maxima! — I love my car! Performance is great, just fast enough for me. Built great. All older cars need up keep, but the only repairs i have done so far are struts, wipers, wiper fluid squirters, oil change, belts. It does need new rotors, but not immediately, according to a mechanic I don't even have to change them for a year. Appearance is great, only body damage is scratches on the passengers side from a minor accident with the previous owner.

I Miss Her... — I loved the car, she was so much fun to drive, being that she was manual transmission. It was unfortunate that the engine died on me a few months after it was given to me. Bucky had a good 16 years =]

A Fine Car At A Fine Price — Solid tank of a car! 6 cylinders will get you up and down any hill without breaking a sweat and you can accelerate with aplomb past 65 without having to hear the engine complain about it. The 190hp V-6 is a derivative of the Nissan Z engine and makes for fun and spirited driving, just don't expect to race with it.
