6th gen Maxima (2004-2008). Everyone thinks they're bloated and boring, but having driven an S-Type R, a newer Maxima, an Infiniti Q50, and an A8L, I can tell you my '08 Maxima has significantly sharper, more communicative steering than any of them. Also, the CVT is from before they started adding fake shift points, so you just get instant torque whenever you need it. It has a manual mode with 6 fixed ratios, and shifts are instant. The VQ35 is a great engine with lots of low end torque, and my particular car is pretty well loaded with leather, heated seats and steering wheel, memory seats, navigation, etc.

The ONLY issue I have with my car is the 40 foot turning circle. It makes so many things into 3-point or 5-point turns that shouldn't be.

But overall 8/10, good car, have had for almost 11 years now with very few issues
