Why you drive what you drive

1999 Nissan Maxima

• I love the look of the 97-99 and 02-03 Maximas. Since I couldn’t afford the 02-03 (5.5 Gen), I went with the 4.5 Gen (99).
• Decent performance for a bigger sedan (3.0 V6 putting out 190hp and 205tq)
• Pretty good after market support and a big online community providing a lot of information, etc.
• Relatively easy to maintain/work on and parts aren’t too expensive for the most part
• I already knew the car pretty well since my brother had my 97 before I had it.
• Decent fuel economy. I average about 20.2 MPG mixed driving with lots of WOT runs, etc.

For me it was reliability/looks over performance.

damn, mine gets like 25 on a bad tank (lots of wot runs). somethings not right there
