 I just purchased my 2010 Maxima a few days ago, but since the remodel was introduced back in 2008 with the 2009 models, I have been in love.  I traded in my 2008 Altima for this Maxima and have no regrets.  While I loved the Alitma and it was a good drive, it doesn't even compare with how much fun the Maxima is to drive.  I look forward to getting in the car and taking it for a spin!  The 290 HP is amazing and blows other sedans away on the road.  It's a smooth, comfortable ride.  I was initially worried about the size, but coming from the Altima, I don't feel like it's much different in size.  I liked having the different choices of packages and love the Sport package's 19" rims.
