I drive a 2004 Nissan Maxima SE and love it - a very versatile vehicle. Plenty of room in the trunk for luggage/groceries, great family car (I have a wife and kid) but it will also get up and go when it needs to (it's classified as a sports car by many insurance companies). Remarkably, insurance isn't that bad - 25 y/o male and a 23 y/o female, full coverage, about $70 per month. Gas mileage is great, I get about 28 mpg and it only costs $40 or so to fill the tank. The only downfall I have is the tires - expensive to replace due to the sports car quality of the vehicle. You can't go with the cheap tire - they aren't as rigid. High torque on take-off and highway speeds will make cheaper tires flare out giving you poor handling.
