One of the cars I own is a 2003 Maxima SE it has been reliable but this is easily the worst riding car I have ever owned. I have owned two Nissan my first car a 1986 Sentra and the aforementioned Maxima the Sentra actually rode much better, for what that's worth. I know it's not the exact car you asked about but I actually loathe driving the Maxima I take the Passat Wagon over it every time.
You are comparing a model from 2003 to 2010 in anything (for the most part) and its gonna be apples and oranges
what do you mean by "loss of power"?
Have read that during (mostly longer) trips people will have stopped and when ramping back onto interstate the car will suddenly dump power and not accelerate as supposed to. Some have said it is a protection feature of the cars computer that has a glitch.
Do you own this car; has this happened to you?
Sounds like some type of air flow issue. If you haven't tried you might get more responses on a Maxima chat room...I have an Altima and an Infiniti G37 and they both have rather large online DBs, I'm sure there is one for the Maxima.

Most helpful response yet; thanks man this was a waste of time until now.![]()
I do not, but I am pretty familiar with Maximas from 89 to present. I've never heard of such. The earlier Maximas had some power loss at different intervals throughout the power curve, but I think most of that got cleared up with the variable intakes they put on them now. The worst problem with the 3.5s has typically been the minor oil burning issue on some of them. If you want to learn anything about a Nissan Maxima then this is your site..... Maxima Forums
How fucking hard would it have been for OP to head the Maxima forums?
Lol if you read what was just quoted ... And after worthless garbage responses like "my 2003 is the worst
riding car ever" on a thread inquiring about a model 7 fucking years later...I have; nice avatar dickhead.
I'm sure the little mermaid ...don't miss it!
