since i gott he new job and am making the money i’ve wanted to make since i left philly, i am thinking about getting a new car. i have it narrowed down to the maxima se or the camry with the dual exhaust and lip kit, i think its the se. anyway, i know i can get a better performance car for the $, but i don’t want the tempatation. i need to save for a house, so buying a car i like from the factory will stop that. i seen that the camry is actually faster in the 1/4 then the maxima, but the maxima got better handling. both are around the same price, im just asking on what people would choose. ---

I like the looks of both, but I tend to think that toyota’s are more reliable in the long run so I would go with the camry to save you money down the road. we rented one from avis to drive to Philly last summer and they were not that bad. A little big, but thats all. ---

my maxima is a 97 w/170K miles on it. Just put in a new tranny but that was because of my own stupid actions. Bought it 4 years ago w/ 115K miles on it. Its been great. I would highly recommend. ---

Sounds like its been really reliable. a couple of little things like a starter and an alternator. Nothing major though. I’d say I have MAYBE $500 into it for repairs. You would NEVER know it has 170K miles on it though. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/camry-vs-maxima/195192.md?page=2)
