2006 Nissan Maxima Sedan 3.5 SL 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
06 in hind site
 This was my 3rd Maxima.  No real issues.  Have a 3 year lease and turning it back in and lease an 09  Had to replace OEM (Continental) tires at 26K even with Nissan dealership rotating at 5k intervals.  Front brakes are ready to be replaced at 34K.  Cruise control is very inconsistent especially on down hill situations.  Engine is starting to run a little rough at 35K.  I have no regrets with the vehicle.  It was a very safe and reliable car for my wife to drive.
