Detailed review:	Have owned 5 Nissan Maxima's. All were the luxury ride versions. The 2006 SL is a very beautifull looking car with some great accesories. Sound system is excellent and seats are comfortable. I haven't had the car long enough to have all the problems found with struts and tires on the '05 and '04. I do have an annoying vibration in the car that the dealer says is part of road feel. Baloney---my other Max's never had this vibration except when I had a bad tire or they needed to be balanced. The torque converter searching is really a surprise , especially when my 98 had it and Nissan had it almost eliminated in '02 Max GLE. Now it is back big time. Some may like the loud exhaust with new duels. I live in rolling countryside and up hills these duels really wear you down. Not a luxury car feel at all! So Nissan needs to go back to the drawing board and put some quality into the suspension and noise level. A little sound deading might not be a bad idea to stop that loud road noise permeating the cabin. NO--this is not a luxury vehicle.
