1997 Nissan Maxima Sedan SE 4dr Sedan
Great all-arounder
 I bought my 97 Maxima SE 5-speed about 2 years ago and am in love with it.  The fact that it's my 4th car in under 2 years says a lot!  I bought it with 307K miles on it (a testament to how unbelievably solid the car was and still is to this day). I'm now over 343K miles and have had to replace little; The 02 sensors, the struts (which were original), and slave/master cylinders.  I get 30-33 mpg almost every tank, and that's even with mixed city/hwy.  Power is still great after all these miles when I need it too!  Did not come with the Bose stereo; stock CD player and volume knob didn't work and all 4 speakers were rotted out, so I replaced those and it sounds great now
