We are probably going to buy one, done the research and driven the comps, so please don't suggest alternatives. This is what the wife really wants and I like it too.
I'm just looking for anyone who has owned one, driven one, or has friends/family with one. If so, please let me know if you have any positive or negative experiences. Most articles/reviews are great but I never know who is writing them and usually they are written soon after purchase. Hoping some people on here can help me out since I don't know anyone who owns one.
Thanks in advance!

A friend of mine has one and him and his wife love it. So much so that they traded in their convertible 2 seater sports car for a Monaro last week. They now have both and its only the two of them.

I bought one in June. It is a 2010 and I love it. It rides very smooth and gets pretty good gas mileage. The only negative is all of a sudden my doors don't automatically lock when the car is moving. I dk if the gf messed with it or what. We also have a little girl and there is tons of room even with her car seat. I wish we would have waited till the 2011 came out bc it gas the navigation screen but overall I love it and it's the best car I have ever had

My best friend's wife has one, and I rode in it last week. I really liked it. It was roomy, without being too big.

You mean the vehicle, correct?

I drive a 3.5L Nissan Ultima which I absolutely love. This vehicle had the same wheel base of the Maxima, had about 20 less horsepower. However, for about $10,000 difference, it is absolutely worth it. I have driven vehicles of all makes and models before, I have enjoyed this vehicle more than any of those others.
