How does the Accord have a better rear suspension than the Max?

The 03 max had a single beam setup which is supbar for a 30k car.
#506 of 572 30K? by lumbar Sep 22, 2003 (12:38 pm)
I'm wondering how many actually sold in that range. 26-28K seems more like it, and at the lower end of that.

Lumbar alot sold at those prices some more, it was toward the end of the generation when Nissan slahed the price to make room for the 04's. If you some kno wabouthe rear beam it actually provides superior performance to the independent setup, only when the roads get rough did it get a bit jittery. The 00-03 setup was much better than the 95-99 rear beam setup.

Thanks bodble, we are as happy as can be. Heard the heartbeat last week and thought I was going to die. I'm already whipped.   lumbar: You could get a 6-speed SE for $21,000 here in Atlanta but you can also get a $15,000 car with an independent rear. Even a Kia Sephia has an independent rear. An axle was pretty unacceptable for an up-level sedan like the Maxima.

We have both, but for overall driving, I prefer our 92 Maxima (wifes car). Smoother ride ,sits higher, more room. For Excitement, sports car feel, the 98 Honda Accord is better(Kids car). I just have to concentrate on keeping the speed down, if and when I get to drive it.   We will replace the Maxima in a year with another Maxima. It has been a GREAT Car.

It's interesting that you find the 98 Accord to be the sportier of the 2, because wasn't the 92 Maxima (or that vintage) when the "4-door sports car" slogan started? Or maybe your experience is just a testament to how much and how quickly cars have improved in a few short years.
#511 of 572 which car to choose... by 280hp Apr 25, 2004 (1:54 am)
Replying to: coolsnow23 (Feb 24, 2001 1:08 pm) choose the maxima. more power. more luxurious. not an accord.   i think both cars are reliable and certainly more reliable than european models and the industry average, though hondas tend to be more reliable than nissans. this probably applies to maximas as compared to accords too.   as to bose, you know what it stand for, Buy Other Sound Equipment.   if sound is important. theres no way around it. you will have to replace factory/dealer fitted oem with customised.

Replying to: 280hp (Apr 25, 2004 1:54 am) Well, I'd choose Accords over Maximas for the following reasons.   1. It's at least $4000 - $5000 less than Max. 2. It's more reliable than Max. 3. The interior is not much better than Accords. 4. Accords have higher resale value.   Anyway, I'm not bashing the new Max. As a matter of fact, I have a 97 Maxima. In my opinion, the interior quality of mine is far better than the new ones. For some reasons, Nissan has cut the corners in the interior quality of its vehicles. They look good from the outside but it's a different story on the inside. If you want more power and more luxury, go for TL. It's a little more expensive than Max but it's money well spent.
