comparing new altima with old maxima. I wouldnt spend 40k on a maxima when I could get a slightly used g37..much better looking and better performing than both of those.
Something i'll add, The old ones are REALLY, And i mean REALLY slow... I had a 2000 (VQ30DE-K) It was a little over 9 seconds to 100KM/H, Used like 15.2L/100KM, And had reliability issues. Was chasing CEL's to due with a bad MAF for almost a year... Whenever you went remotely fast, Limp mode and CEL. I haven't driven the 7th gens, But i would imagine they're just boats now...
To be honest this comparison's rather pointless. The Altima is a brand new model with Nissan's newest innovations with their new design concept, while the current Maxima came out in 2009. Of course the Altima will have the upper hand until the Maxima receives a redesign sometime in 2014.

I would have to disagree, from a consumer point of view that is in the market of buying a car, these two models would be the ones available not a redesigned model in the future.

i had the same problem.. for my 2000 max as well. ended up blowing the ecu and electronic motor mounts.. really pricey to fix.. acceleration was quicker than that thought.. and fuel economy was no where near as bad as yours.
this is like the acura tl shawd vs a acura rl shawd.. the tl has more power, faster, and cost much less.

I'm 99.9% sure the previous owner didn't maintain it AT ALL, The reason i ended up selling it was the trans went at 150KM, Which is WAY too early, And i only bought the car at 142KM, Drove it for less than a year. (febuary-october) It really shows you what properly caring for a car does... And to top it off, It was starting to rust quite badly on the rear quarter panels. Most likely from the previous owner not washing/waxing car at all.
