2008 Nissan Maxima Sedan 3.5 SE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
Not even close to a sports car!
 This model is marketed as a sports sedan.  Don't be fooled.  The transmission can't figure out what gear to be in.  It takes several seconds to figure out to downshift.  You can confuse it by using the manual shift mode.  It reacts with disdain at any aggressive driving.  The brakes fade and shudder with excessive use.  It handles like a cow.  Torque is completely absent.  The turning ration is terrible as is fuel economy.  The chrome wheels peel with only one winter.  Expect to visit the dealer with many problems with ignition sensors & check engine lights.  I traded a 2000 Maxima which was a completely different car.  Check out that trade-in value! Nissan will NEVER get my business again.
