2004 Maxima SE
Anyone ever drive one of these? Or know anyone that has one. Its on my short list for a new/used car. And I'd like some feedback on how this redesigned Max performs.
2003 and early is not an option.
Thanks!

For 04+ I think the SE is the king of the can in the Max lineup.
If I could find a got dang GXP somewhere with less then 100 000 kms we wouldnt be discussing this Nissan.

The 3.5 Nissan engine has been included in Ward'* top 10 engines for several years.

I assume that'* the engine this one has? They're no slouch and pretty reliable.

I have driven one once. I can not stand the interior compared to the 03.
The SE and SL models are eessentailly the same, however SL could come with NAV, and SE could come with a 6-speed, other than that all options are the same (SE came with spoiler base) and they have different wheels and chrome time packages.
It is a great car, great performer, great resale value. An A+ used car

Yea, both interiors don't rev me up all that much, but I do prefer the styling of the 04+ over the 03. But thats personal preference.
The drivetrain is my concern and I think the 3.5 is probably one of the best out there.
