If you're looking for a midsize luxury sedan without the luxury price tag, you may consider the 2014 Nissan Maxima. Starting at $31,290, the Maxima boasts features and amenities that match those of vehicles with much higher price tags. Updates to the car for 2014 include rearview camera, USB connectivity and a seven-inch color monitor, as well as a new value trim level. And although the Maxima was introduced in the United States way back in 1981, it still feels fresh. The current version was redesigned fully in 2009, though the design was freshened for the 2013 model year. Read on for 10 more reasons why you should be looking at the 2014 Nissan Maxima.
1. Performance
The power of this sedan is far from boring. The 3.5-liter V6 engine delivers 290 horsepower and 261 lb-ft of torque, well above competitors in this class. The 2014 Nissan Maxima can go from zero to 60 in 6 seconds. Steering and handling are also much smoother than one would expect from a car this size. In fact, it's incredibly enjoyable to drive, with a smooth, comfortable ride and precision steering coupling with the impressive power. And while automatic transmission is standard for all models, there's also a manual mode that simulates a six-speed transmission. However, drivers who purchase the Maxima expecting a true sports car experience may be disappointed, particularly due to the lack of a manual transmission option.
2. Fresh, Unique Exterior
Although the Maxima hasn't been redesigned since 2009 except for the small freshening for the 2012 model year, its distinctive looks still feel fresh. Its soft lines call to mind much more expensive luxury vehicles, while the sports car-like styling is rare among mid-size sedans in its class. Nissan calls the look "liquid ...

...axima comes standard from Nissan with a three-year/36,000-mile limited warranty and a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty.
While Nissan touts the 2014 Maxima as a four door sports car, its performance doesn't quite live up to that moniker as much as it once did. Experts also note that fuel economy is not up to snuff for a car in this class, and that fully loaded models are almost as expensive as sedans from high-end brands. If you have a large family, you may want to pass by the Maxima, which fits only four passengers comfortably and has a comparably low 14.2 cubic feet of trunk space. Still, if you're looking for a mid-sized sedan that's well-rounded and less ubiquitous than more popular cars in this class (especially direct competitors like the Chevrolet Impala, Honda Accord, and Ford Taurus), with more impressive features, the 2014 Maxima is a solid choice.
...yers every year. The American public is not going to pay for something of standard quality and performance when they can get a better and less expensive car that out performs the higher priced one. "The bottom line clearly reveals that from this group of long time nemesis, the Camaro once again emerges as offering the most bang for the buck" (Bartlett 30 - 38).
Due to the growing prevalence of stock car racing, muscle cars came into power during the 1960s, which has become known as the Golden Age of Muscle. Lasting from 1960 to 1972, muscle cars enjoyed over a decade of power, and, regrettably, a four decade hibernation. In the past six years, muscle cars have reemerged in the form of the Charger, Challenger, Mustang, and Camaro. The new cars’ styling pays tribute to their Golden Age predecessors. This is the new muscle car age, with competition and corporate pride higher than ever.
I believe you made a valid argument in the legal dispute of Martin’s 1966 Pontiac GTO when referring to the nullification of the bailment. Bailment is described as “the process of placing personal property or goods in the temporary custody or control of another”(Lawyers, 2015). Referring to the case, Benjamin could be describe in legal terms as a bailee that is “responsible for the safekeeping and return of the property”(Bailment, 2015). In this scenario, Benjamin was not an employee of the valet parking department of the restaurant. When he presented himself as the person designated to take care of the car, it was with the intention to obtain the property and never return it back. Due to the fact Benjamin’s behavior is considerate

When the Tesla Model S was first released, Consumer Reports named the Electric Vehicle (EV) the most remarkable auto ever tested. The consumer protection publication; that has been looking out for their readers since 1936; said that the Flagship vehicle from Elon Musk’s Motor Company, was essentially flawless. Its performance on the track and in safety testing was second to none. However, due to a drop in quality class; from average to below; the Tesla Model S has been removed from Consumer Reports’ Recommended List.
These three spectacular cars are very luxurious and fast, but can be very pricey. The la Ferrari costs an astonishing 1.5 million dollars. The Enzo Ferrari costs a costly 3.5 million dollars.

The team will take into consideration the many products FCA has to offer, specifically, the Dodge Nitro. The Dodge Nitro is built with a specific target market, however, it has been found to be appealing to the female gender by the show in sales (55% with female purchasers). The product is considered conservative in styling and design. Mechanically, the Dodge Nitro is a line extension to the Jeep Liberty in size and looks. It is hard to distinguish one from the other in a line up or on the road; the biggest physical difference is the front of each vehicle is designed differently. This vehicle is 2-wheel or a 4-wheel optional with a V6 engine. This points to a platform of the liking of a truck. The Dodge Nitro has a retro look that is designed to appeal to the Millennial male; however, it is not as appealing as other mid-size SUV’s on the

Americans rightfully turned their backs on the earlier wagons, given that the designs offered in the 1970s and 1980s were terrible.
The car can easily handle steep grades and can more through the gears quickly, which drivers are sure to appreciate also. One reason the performance of this car has improved is the new chassis and the fact that the overall vehicle is lighter than in previous model years. Kia reports the chassis used in the 2017 Cadenza is 35 percent lighter than the chassis in the 2016 model. As a result, the car feels nimbler. Drivers are sure to love that fuel economy has improved also.

This car will more resemble the Cayman packed with power. This model wants to give the Ferrari 458 Italia nightmares. It will enter the market above $200,000 and squeeze out at least 600 horses out of its mid-engine V8 or V6 that might even feature a turbocharger for each second cylinder.

One of the very first things a buyer should consider when looking for a car is what kind of car he/she wants. Many different factors can affect the car buying process. For one, the buyer must consider how big of a vehicle he/she wants and safety features like airbags, seatbelts, and working brakes. Itemizing a list of accessories can also help narrow down what kind of car to buy. While some people might prefer a Sedan with a large back seat and seat warmers, others may prefer an extreme luxury car with full stereo systems and miniature televisions. Every person has different tastes in accessories; luckily, there is a vehicle that can fit almost every personality. Most new models have the latest technology installed, although some of the “newer” used cars have the option of adding in those accessories. Once the...
