05 Maxima vs TL
Hey I was checking out Nissans website and looked at the loaded Maxima. Looks pretty nice like that different "sjy view" sunroof heated rear bucket seats etc.. any way have any of you seen this car in person? What did you think of it? Price wise the TL and Maxima are about the same...

What I like about the Maxima is it can easily be had under invoice, plus things like XM radio are optional (that's one option I'd gladly give back from my TL if it wasn't standard)
But that's about the only thing I like about it. It just looks plain ugly..

reading the topics on this list and hearing the complaints you guys have with your TL's, It would be hard to argue that it's better built than the Maxima

Ok, to address the "TL problems" of rattles and stuff...I had a dealer handle it all under warrenty..it cost me nothing and everything is as it should be..
So comparing a TL to a maxima, (and both are in 'mint' condition) which would you rather have?
Well its obvious for me, as i test drove both and got the acura.
I don't even think the maxima is really in the same class, isnt the infiniti in the same class as the TL?

I'm still amazed that a loaded Maxima (w/Sens, DP pkg + Navi) MSRPs for $3G more than a TL 6MT w/Navi. But, I guess that explains why I see far more TLs than 04 Maximas around my neighborhood.
IMHO, Nissan overestimated the new Maxima's appeal.

To each its own It all depends what each individual like... I like the TL better just because it looks so much better, when I test drove the TL, I sat in, I got the feeling of "this could be my car, but let me test drive it first" Then I drove to Nissan dealership afterwards to test drive the Maxima. It looks nice on the outside, but once I sat in... I didnt even feel like taking it for a test drive, so I just left. Few days later, I bought the TL after test drove Infiniti G35 sedan.
Good luck on picking your car and remember to always --->
