What Edmunds Says

Although it's more upscale than before, the Maxima remains one of the best combinations of performance, luxury and value in the midsize sedan segment.

Pros

Roomy interior, lots of upscale options, sweet V6, available with a manual transmission.

Cons

So-so center stack ergonomics, premium price without the premium nameplate.

What's New for 2005
