Well, comparing apples to apples, the auto Accord will have basically the same 0-60 time as the auto Maxima. For most people, I predict they won't be able to tell the difference in power and handling. However, I think the 2003 Max has the edge over the Accord in style and cargo capacity.

I test drove both cars last spring and chose a 2002 Millenia. Why? 1. Vastly superior styling and comfort. Looks matter, and Millennia beats this Picasso like Nissan hands down. Inside and out, the Millenia has the look of a fine Japanese luxury car, the Max on the other hand looks neither sporty nor luxurious. What was Nissan aiming for? 2.Ride. Contrary to Nissans old ad campaign, I did not "enjoy the ride". I found the behavior of the back end to be positively jarring, even on smaller bumps. The Millenia's ride is much more refined and well behaved. I expected the Max to be much more of a "driver's car" , and was sure surprised that the Millenia handled better in fast curves and hard braking.   These opinions are of course my own, and people with questionable taste who live in purple houses, may find that they disagree. Rational people can reach vastly different conclusions and while I do respect the opposing views of others, I'd like to plainly state in advance that I am right and you are wrong.

But if you're tall, and I'm 6 foot, five inches tall, then you don't fit in the millenia.   Comparing the 2001 models (I know, but I bought used): Millenia S     * Front Head Room: 37.9 in.     * Front Shoulder Room: 55.1 in.     * Rear Head Room: 36.5 in.     * Rear Shoulder Room: 54.2 in.     * Front Leg Room: 43.3 in.     * Rear Leg Room: 34.1 in.     * Luggage Capacity: 13.3 cu. ft.     * Maximum Seating: 5   Maxima Aniversary Edition (just cuz I bought it)       * Front Head Room: 40.5 in.     * Front Shoulder Room: 56.9 in.     * Rear Head Room: 37.4 in.     * Rear Shoulder Room: 56.2 in.     * Rear Hip Room: 53.7 in.     * Front Leg Room: 44.8 in.     * Rear Leg Room: 36.2 in.     * Luggage Capacity: 15.1 cu. ft.     * Maximum Seating: 5   Believe me, I notice the difference in headroom between 37.9 and 40.5. Even the Camry had more headroom then the Millenia.   Yes, size matters.     Oh, and styling and "beauty" is up to the beholder. The millenia to me looks like an Aurora with nice rims which is fine by me. But a Maxima looks like a Maxima.   To each his or her own.

Speed,   I agree with you that Millenia's interior - for the money and even in comparisong to 40+K cars - is excellent. When it comes to going the distance... it does, believe me. It is one of the best cars I've ever driven when it comes to long-distance highway traveling, because it is so effortless and has very good directional stability (like the Germans).   BTW, I'm 6'3 and I headroom-wise it was a close call for me. I have the seat in the lowest position.   Tomek

Camry has seat cushions that are way too short for me and don't give any thigh support. That'll get you tired very quickly
