Has anyone else noticed that nearly all Nissan Maximas are driven by a$$ho1es? I have been passed on the right through an intersection (from a turn only lane BTW) or otherwise cut off 3 times in the past week, and always by a different Maxima.

Now, I am not a whiner. I really don't care how people around me drive as long as they miss me and I don't have to slam on my brakes to avoid a collision. I am just making an observation.

Is it the way Nissan markets the car that attracts these people? Is there something about the car that transforms courteous and careful drivers into reckless idiots? Has anyone else noticed this, or am I all alone here?

 

You can barely find Maxima drivers anymore. The car has just about faded away into oblivion (sadly).

 

I've never noticed it with Maximas. Other than people in big SUVs and trucks the one I've noticed a lot lately is Scion TC drivers. I get them revving on me, swerving in traffic trying to race me, and just in general being jackasses. Sebrings and Avengers seem to be another big one IME.

 

Faded Away I See Plenty, But I Am Deffinitly Looking Foward To The Redesign (sporty And Less Like Other Models)

 

I don't think sales of the current design are spectacular. The new Altima is better than the current one. Perhaps, they'll improve it with the freshening.

 

I don't know about that, I still see them everywhere. Most of them aren't the current body style, but still plenty of previous generations floating around. Hell, I see more 2nd gen. Maximas than I do Evos, STIs, and RX-8s combined.

 

I use to drive a maxima...

 

most maximas around here sport chrome 20s and limo tint

 

I agree with the Scions.. The other day i had one fly up my rear bumper.. We had some fun on an open highway.. It was a quick little car actually.. How fast are these things?

 

*******.

 

haha

 

You just proved RX8Maine's point
But I gotta give another mention of the Tc owners. They are popping up like crazy recently in my area. Most of them are driven by cute 20 something hotties but the ones driven by the teenagers tend to be jerks and that is coming from a aggressive driver here lol.

 

don't forget rsx teenagers.

 

^Not alot of them around here anymore.. they rebadged as Honda's foo'!! Oh hellz yeah!

 

There was a souped up TC on Bullrun but they didn't make it past the 1st episode...

too bad so sad...

 

Driven by 2 Teenage girls.. nuff' said

 

My niece drives a Maxima and a 650 sport bike. Pretty sure she's an exception.

 

My beater is a 96 Maxima. 180K miles and still going strong. It's a great, reliable, and comfortable car IMO.

 

The 1989-1994 Nissan Maxima SE "4DSC" is a classic.

 

Has your exhaust system rusted out yet? If so did you find an inexpensive aftermarket replacement that you are able to pass emissions with?

 

i had a maxima, 95, some bolt ons....1st car. i loved it to death and was a great learning car. learned what rice is, and not to go that route with the rx8. i had it almost 6 years till the tranny died then decided not to dump any more dough into it. they are very under rated. alot mistake it for just another common import pos family car, but with a few mods and a good driver it could make alot of people think twice. of all the "family cars" btwn 95-99 the maxima was def the cream of the crop, only 4door car in that same class i feared was the v6 SHO.

maxima.org and introduce yourself to the ******** lol, i admit there are quite a few on there.........i wasnt one of them tho. ;-)

 

I had a '95 5 speed GXE, my sister still has it and I may end up getting it back as a beater. It was a great sleeped with hubcaps and all, it weighed les than 3000 lbs. and had a great engine, infortunately handling wasn't its strong point and I hated FWD so I didn't have it very long.

 

What about those of us who have never owned a Maxima but still wish to embrace our a$$holish tendencies? Do I have to buy a Maxima at some point?

 

here i never see any ******* maxima drivers. maximanyc forum ppl roll deep. =/

 

Yeah it rusted out a couple of years ago. I just went to Midas and had the catback replaced with one of their exhausts, cost me ~300 for the parts and labor.
