In a word...Wow. Great looking, great performing piece of machinery. Got a Silver 2005 SE with black leather, Bose, xenon, basically everything but the Nav (because I NEVER get lost, right?). Even splurged and got the 18' chromes, which really make the car. Funny that the 300C comes with plastic 'chromes' as that was a model I was considering. But this car looks like a Lexus GS430 and probably performs a lot like it, for about $20k less. And by the way, recently blew the doors off a Lexus IS 300!
Considered an Altima SE-R, but the Maxima is much roomier inside and is a smoother ride. The 300C and G35x were nice, but didn't want to cough up an extra 7-10k.
Lucky enough to work for a company that has a VPP with Nissan....saved me about $5000 off sticker. And at that price was too good to pass up.
Also considered:
2005 Chrysler 300
2005 Infiniti G35 Sedan
2005 Nissan Altima
Vehicle purchased:
2005 Nissan Maxima
