Yes, 26 is not too old. I don't remember turning 26, but I am sure it was not a traumatic event.
Being slightly younger, I still remember 25 & 26. I was still single (no kids) and driving a 65 Vette. From the standpoint of physical abilities, I consider those years my high-point, and it has been a slow decline since then. From the standpoint of mental ablilties, I've yet to reach the peak.

I fully intend to be driving Maximas when I am 95, but have already agreed with my wife that, whether a competent driver or not, I will hand her the keys to my Maxima when I turn 96. She will be my Maxima chauffeur from that point on.
What an inspiration you are to others on this site who have not been Maxima people for so long. I like your long-term plans for your Max. When I get too old to drive and my wife becomes the chauffeur, I'm certain she will insist on getting one with an auto-trannie. Guess I'll have to give in, but not until then.
i know, it sounds crazy, but i have issues w/ getting older, i don't know why but i just don't want to...
I don't either so instead of worring about age I continue to mod cars, go to car shows, collect baseball cards, comics, metal cars, coins, stamps, figurines, ride roller coasters, fish, crab, diving, biking, computer gaming, watching silly movies and run the track at Maryland International Speedway. Age is a number but it does not determine your lifestyle, You Do.
Peace Bro

Well said; well hopefully i won't let the increase in "my number" supersede my mentality!!!
SE, and im 21. We got a baby coming in June and the Max gets paid off in June, Funny how things work out. Oh well, no debt here and I hope to keep it that way.

There are more SE's than SL's in every age bracket -- because Nissan sells more SE's than SL's. Does not prove a thing. I hope each of us bought what we wanted. I might have bought an SL if I could have gotten the 6-speed. Couldn't get it, so did not even consider an SL.
I agree with SlammerBC that the stats so far show no real connection between age and SE/SL preference. I am somewhat surprised by this.
But some of the young family drivers may have a spouse who likes 'comfy', or a baby to consider, while some of the 'oldies' may feel the SE makes them come across as younger.

Whatever, the stats are interesting.
Or maybe some of us oldies don't give a $hit about comfy and just prefer performance, If I get any younger than I feel I'll be a fetus so I guess I prefer the SE for it's performance characteristics...

I usually agree with light on most of his posts, but in this case I think chernmax is more accurate. (Sorry light.)
Well, I can't argue with chernmax. He has more posts, is a contributing member, and has a (ta-da!) buyer-seller rating. He trumps me at every turn. My SL might hang with chernmax on the straightaway, but his SE would definitely toast my SL on curvy roads.
Hence, I hereby amend my earlier post to reflect that older drivers often choose the SE on an 'esse quam videri' basis (to BE rather than to SEEM).

Thank you and you are 'Cor-rec-to' (to BE correct...). In the end of the day, it's all good...
SE and 47, only the 6 speed will do. All my other sports cars have been sticks. Besides nothing like doing a quick shift from 1st to 2nd and getting a little tire chirp.
picked up an '04 SE... had an SE '98 until last week (now the wife has is)
Although keep in mind what people buy is also often a factor of what's available. (for all of use who buy used). When I was looking there was a lot of SE's available, very few SLs
For me the toughest thing was finding a manual transmission. I would have liked to find something higher miles to save some cash, but ended up getting the '04SE with just under 23,000 because it was a manual tranny...
So many other gen guys say the 6th gen doesnt have the sporty look anymore and is targetted at older people yet 21-30 seems to be the age thats got the majority, weird ehh?
Stop Global Whining!!!
There are more 31-40 in SE's than SL's...
48 in years, 21 at heart.
