i've always had a thing for the older maxima's... not sure why... no clue as to reliability... but from nissan i can't imagine it to be bad.... the legends are also nice but dont make as much power

I would stay in the Honda family..

Legend if you got a bit more dough, Accord if not.

Legend for sure!!!! It's the original gangsta car in the 2pac and Biggy videos...

Or if I was feeling adventurous and wanted to mod it for performance... Infinity G20t is a gorgeous car based off the Nissan Primera super touring platform... SR20DE motor, and luxury to boot, I think *not sure* it's also RWD It would be a very close call depending on what my ultimate purpose for the car is. I mean, the G20t was like the IS300 is now - that class of vehicle.

Maxima - a heavy FWD family car (why not get a Taurus )
G20t - a mid-size RWD car with touring car heritage
Legend - original gangsta-mobile
Accord - not bad... but very blah


What's the purpose of this vehicle anyways. Your car? Any mods planned? Do you need potential? or are you asking for the best out of the box package with cheap parts? If so, then buy the newest car out of that list that you can afford.

Prolly a maxima or accord in that case.

I am thinking of investing less $$$ in my next car, and want somthing comfy and classy in some ways

plus cheaper insurance , and no attraction to Police

Cheaper investment then my current Ek plus goodies

I have owned a 90 EXR , 94 EXR , maxima's are bad for there exhaust manifolds

G20 - bad trannies i hear

i think i am gonna go with the legend in March

since my insurance on my own name is killin me on the EK

and i can use the extra money just in case

The legend is so pimp , comfy, roomy , bling bling yo!

but of course , who knows , i change my mind every full moon

Isn't the G20t a FWD car with the SR20DE motor?

like I said dunno... and I'm too lazy to look it up. It could very well be, but it could just as easily be RWD. The fact it was in touring in the early 90s would lead me to think it was RWD but since I've never owend one, nor ever had any interest in purchasing one... dunno

If you can find a Legend for a good price and in good condition then for sure!!

Otherwise I really like the Maxima!
