6-speed shiftable CVT FWD		 I drove Datsuns (a Nissan product) in the 1970s, and switched to Nissan Maximas in fall of 2004. I have owned Maximas of all generations except the first (I did carpool in a 1st gen Maxima for three years). I have always been impressed with the features, styling and performance of Maximas. As long as Nissan continues to give me the best combination of price, performance and features, I see no reason to switch. see full Nissan Maxima review

2013 2dr Coupe 200-horsepower 2.0L H4
6-speed manual RWD		 I WISH it was sold as the Toyota GT86 like Europe, Australia, and Japan... the Scion badge certainly carries the "youth" baggage. I am 40. I don't buy into the "image"... I buy into the handling and quality! see full Scion FR-S review
