I rent a 300c on my brother's wedding and i immediately felt a power difference. the 300c is so smooth and very torquy off the line. I went back to my car and definetly felt a huge difference on handling, built quality and the power on the upper RPM........

 

Well, my '98 Maxima with 128K miles still has the above traits, especially the quick startup. Heck, I was out of town for several weeks and it started instantly. Ok there really isn't any "noticeable howl from the engine and exhaust" but otherwise I think the above traits are in line with the VQ series engines..

 

Yep - I owned a '95 Maxima, and an '03 Maxima - both ran great.

 

I've had my G for 3 months, and I definitely still appreciate it every time I drive it. I was on a cruise for a few days recently, and one of the things that I missed the most was driving my G. Once I got home, I immediately took my car out for a drive. I just love that new car smell, the power, the sexy gauges, and the great sound system.

This has been the most fun initial 3-month period I've had with a car, and I've owned some cars that would be considered "fun": like the Eclipse GS Turbo, or MB CLK, for example.
