newbie here
hey guys/girls
I was in the market for a new and/ or used vehicle since my 2002 Mitsubishi Galant that i've owned for the last 8 years was getting up there with mileage (179,000 miles).the vehicles that i wanted was the Honda Accord, 04-08 Acura TL, 2013 Altima and the Mazda6. After test driving the accord, TL and the 6, i came across my maxima at courtesy imports out here in vegas and wanted to test drive it. when my sales rep handed me the keys and i push the button to start it, the growl it made when i started my maxima was sexy. it has a nice exhaust note. when i took it on the highway for a test drive, i was sold. this car is so comfortable, very smooth and has good looks. so after the test drive and negotiation, i drove off the lot with my maxima that same night with 40,600 miles on the odometer.
My first fill up yielded me 21 MPG, which is great. i went 275 miles on that take of gas and suprisingly i get better gas mileage then my 4 cylinder galant. i would average between 18-20 mpg in my galant. I love the way how the gauges sweep across the dash when you start it. I'm still learning alot of things abt my maxima and still getting use to the size because the maxima is a big car to me compared to my galant.
I'm not sure what trim i have but it has everything except for leather,heated seats, navi and rear sunshade. if someone could point me in the right direction in figuring out the reim that will be great. Thank u all

Yes, your cloth seats tell us you have the 'S', which is the entry level Maxima. Imagine all the extra goodies you would find on a loaded Maxima with a MSRP $10,000 higher than the 'S'. But the really good thing is that the entry level Maxima 'S' has exactly the same engine and tranny (and many other parts) as the most expensive Maxima.

Welcome. Your going to love that car! I've had mIne for about 6 months now and can truly say it it's the best car I have ever owned. It's the perfect mix of everything I could ever want in a car. You should read a post posted yesterday titled, I learned how to drive my 7th generation. It is so true. Congratulations on your new car.

You have the S model which is considered the base model in the Maxima lineup but i know compared to a Galant this is a pretty loaded car (^_^)
