2012 Nissan Maxima Sedan 3.5 SV 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
Six month to decide
 I took a long look at Avalon, Acura TL and Buick before buying a Nissan Maxima.I was influenced by the sportiness of the car based on son's inputs in comparisons to all 3 other choices.I liked the Avalon a lot but it felt like an old man's car and overly lavish.The Acura TL was great but the trunk was tiny and it would not hold 2 sets of golf clubs.The Buick had lots of possibilities but it just felt to bulkish and not as well thought out.Shaq's commercial made me look at it twice.It is early but performance has been great, wife loves it and gas mileage is much better than the Volvo XC 90 I traded in.I have only bought Volvo's in the past 5 cars but the XC 90 was terrible.
