The four-door sedan market spans the entire design spectrum, from forgettable, dull styling to head-turning good looks. With the all-new 2009 Nissan Maxima, Nissan designers don't let the opportunity to create a head-turner pass them by. For the Nissan 2009 lineup, Automobile...

Other Choices:

The 2009 Nissan Maxima appeals more readily to those looking for a perky, smooth, and stylish V-6 luxury sedan than to those wanting a sport sedan. For the latter, shoppers might consider the Pontiac G8—especially in GT trim—or the Dodge Charger R/T, though neither of those cars has an interior that's as stylish as the Maxima's or offers the same level of appointments and tech options. At the opposite end of the scale, for those who might want even more comfort and interior space, there's the Toyota Avalon, although it's less exciting to drive and look at. In between, the Volkswagen Passat VR6 offers similar performance and a very attractive, comfortable interior, along with available all-wheel drive, but it's more expensive. The newly redesigned 2009 Acura TL, which at the time of this writing hasn't yet gone on sale, also promises to be a formidable rival.

    09 maxima

    this car is pretty awesome, i'm 18 years old and i'm glad to say this was the first car i bought. i work at HERTZ none of the cars here that i have to dive and move around feel fast like the 09 maxima, besides the g37 and impala ss there are the mustnags, shelbys, and the corvttes but those arent to comfy to drive. the maxima is one hell of a strong car and its a nissan so its reliable. it feels jus as fun to drive the z but jus more roomy for other fun things that can happen in the back seats for all the power the 09 has its really good on gas. this would be a good car to look into buying=]
