09 Acura Tl or 09 Nissan Maxima?

[nbafan512]

I am turning 16 and I need help picking a car. I am either getting a 2009 Nissan Maxima or a 2009 Acura TL. They both almost have all the same features. They are both 38,000 which is my limit. Please tell me which one you would choose and why. By the way do not criticize me for getting these cars I know how much insurance is going to be and we can afford it. I go to a upscale school so people have these kind of cars. Please and thank you!

I realize that a few people want me to get a American car. They haven't realized that the American companies have not retooled yet. The Japanese already have retooled and the European companies are in the process right now. The Americans went to the government today to ask for a bailout so they can retool. They will be able to get better gas mileage, more reliability, and all the little goodies on the inside and out. Right now it's not practical for me to get a American car but when they catch up too the other companies and become equal I will buy a American car but not right now.
I'm not allowed to test drive my parents are buying it before I turn 16 so I have to sit in the car and let them drive it. Also the Maxima gets better mileage.

I think the Acura has slightly better reliability and gas mileage, but they're both good choices. The real differences are how they each look and feel to you, and that's going to require a test drive and a listen to the audio systems. Neither is a bad choice, so it's personal preference.
