Hi after buying a couple of Nissans for my wife I decided to take the plunge with one.

I wanted a 4 door sedan with a reasonable turn of pace and a reasonably luxurious interior. I had never seen a Maxima before, let alone the new shape, however after seeing one when dropping my wife's car in I quite liked it and took one out.

I am now the owner of an ex-demo Maxima. 300bhp (3.6l V6) so moves reasonably well and is reasonably luxurious. So far I'm quite pleased with it.

Middle East
20K sterling

I'm not sure if they are available in the UK

Yes I know what you mean - I reckon the badge reduces its value by about 20k.
Its a nice car but perhaps not one for the image conscious - as you say it has the wrong badge.

I looked at lots of sedans but for the same spec I was buying an 8 yr old 7 series or A8 which can cost a lot to repair out here ! Nissans are pretty cheap to repair and parts are easy to get hold of, plus they gave me a 5 yr warranty with it. The wife has had a X-trail and now has a Pathfinder and they have been superb (reliability and aftercare from Nissan).

Quite !
I think its a bit of steal to be honest. I've only had it a week so I'll see how things pan out with it.
