My erstwhile 2003 Maxima was a miserable car. All it had going for it was the Xenons and the 255HP + limited slip diff. BTW, it felt faster than my 244 hp 2006 AV6 automatic, so Honda's engines are only under-rated by so much. But then again it was lighter and was a P.O.S. otherwise. Did I mention it consumed and blackened oil at a rate of about a quart every 1000 miles? The Accord V6 sedan is a VASTLY superior car to a Maxima.
