There's one word that has come to my mind whenever I've driven the 2009 Nissan Maxima, all the way from test driving it down to now. That word is FUN. I love that Nissan has really gone 'All Out' on this model.

Its a FUN car to cruise with, play with, and fly with. Mine in particular is the 3.5 SV loaded with Premium + Technology Packages. The Dual Moon-Roof is hot, Bose sound is impeccable and its a nice 'big' sedan, which I wanted so that I feel like I have my space (a big jump from a 2002 Honda Civic Coupe).

I'm a bid disappointed that the 2010 model has a redesigned Technology console, including live Weather service from XM, and better iPod integration (however the iPod in the 09 with Technology package is still great; it is a full iPod cable, not just an Aux. jack; it shows the song names, playlists, and is controlled through the stereo / steering wheel).

All in all, I could have gotten a Lexus or BMW, but I feel like I did better spending the money on a top of the line Nissan that they say looks MORE like an Infinity than Infinities do (all its missing is the 2-hand classic Infinity clock in the console, everything else is IDENTICAL! I test drove them, trust me.). Basically, I believe I was better off with the best Nissan than the most basic Lexus. I still stand by that, 5 months later, and still love my car. In fact, I loved the Max so much that after 3 months of owning it, I actually went & bought my wife a 2009 Nissan Altima Coupe 2.5 (white with Premium package; tan interior).

I get excited every time I see one on the road too. I love this car. I really love it.
