The Nissan Maxima is a luxury full-size sedan, and the 2007 Maxima SE adds a touch of sportiness to the drive, with a sports-tuned suspension and larger 18-inch alloy wheels.  A 3.5-liter, 255-hp DOHC V6 powers the Maxima, and in 2007 it gets a new CVT continuously variable transmission with manual mode.  ABS brakes, traction control, fog lights, dusk-sensing headlights, and dual front-side and front and rear head airbags are standard.  Stability control is optional.
The 2007 Maxima SE is well equipped for comfort and includes full power options, including an 8-way power driver's seat.  Keyless entry, audio controls on the steering wheel, cruise control, a trip computer with temperature display, dual-zone climate control, universal remote, a CD player with new MP3 capability, and leather and alloy trim decorate the cabin.  A SkyView full-length fixed panel sunroof is standard, and a regular power sunroof is optional.  
There are many bundled option packages that add much of what you'll find on the SL (heated leather seats, power passenger seat) and features such as memory settings, a navigation system, chrome wheels, satellite radio, a new rear parking sensor, and a rear seating configuration for two with a center console. Owners like the new style and power, but wish for better gas mileage and stand-alone options instead of packages.
