Well i had my wife trade in her sentra for a 04 Maxima. WOW it has more power than my 325I, but i would never trade my BMW. Even if it has given me problems here and there. The feel at high speed and road feel makes it worth it. I was taken back from the maxima power but it feels wierd at high speeds and you can hear the wind noise. But for a test me and the wife went on the freeway to see for ourselfs. She beat me on the take off but on the curves I passed her with no problem then we switch it was hard to get a good feel with the maxima. Its strong power is nice but my E46 will still be the only car in the garage[bmwdance]
just puchased a nissan maxima

I've driven a 3.5L Maxima.... that thing has spunk, but like you said, it doesn't feel controlled. I was a bit scared to do anything outrageous with that car except on a straight away. At highspeeds, it feels like your not even on the ground, if that's what you mean; at least that's what I remember. It was an unsettling feeling.
As a side note, one day I hope to have a wife like that... one who condones racing just to see who's car is faster. That's just super sexy (IMO).

I regularly drive my wife's New Maxima 08/07 and it is much better than the previous 06/05 in that it handles lots better since they re-tuned the suspension and opted for 18 in tire size eagle RAs are better than the continentals on the previous car...I love my 330 BUT the max IS surprisingly fast and agile the CVT is also taking some getting used to ...car seems to have power everywhere and I haven't explored the trans yet and see if it works half as well as the steptronic in the 330
