    Whoa, whoa , whoa don't bash the CVT trannies, those are truly a work of art. They are designed to maintain RPMs at the point where the motor is making max torque/whp and the shift points are barely noticeable. They need to engineer something like that for manual trannies, but i will admit they are super temperamental and you have to use that expensive tranny fluid, but when they work they work

    Yeah, i realize what they do, they're no fun, gotta feel that thing shift. I've gotten so used to my transmission i can make it shift into whatever gear i want and it's an Auto.

    What about the Maximas smaller cousin... the Altima SE-R. Its pretty quick and has a nice aggressive look to it.
