Handling:
Turning at slow speeds: Fantastic. Parking is a breeze.

Turning at high speeds: Excellent, I felt super comfortable going around turns at high speeds. The Maxima handles extremely well.


Acceleration:
From a stop: It's pretty fun. You won't be the fastest car on the road, but the Maxima's engine is loud enough to make you feel like you might be.

While moving: Great. There's about a 1 second delay from the time you push the accelerator to when the car reacts, but it's not bad. And I was able to pass cars on the road easily, so I was happy.

Cabin Noise:
Great. At low and high speeds I barely heard what was going on outside and I never had to increase the volume on the radio to hear what was bein said. Impressive for a car under $40k
