Confusion re: which octane to use. Dealer and Manual equivocate. But I've been using (2500 miles) 87 octane with no problems.
Advice to buyer:
Infiniti G35 very similar and only a few bucks more. Compare carefully the differences.
Detailed review:
This is my fifth Maxima. Others were the 'GXE' model, which drove comforftably like amiddle-aged person's sedan and never had that 'tight' sports car feel. Very quick and loads of power. We wanted a sportier feel and considered BMW 325 and other cars but found that the SE (with Sensory Package) drive like a beemer and attacts more admiring looks than any car I've ever driven.
Also considered:
2004 BMW 3 Series
Vehicle purchased:
2004 Nissan Maxima
