Review

i just purchased a 2010 Nissan Maxima SV. Loved the new styling and wanted to try it out. One test drive was all it took. This is one powerful car, but you have to get up to highway speed to really appreciate it. The suspension is great and will not jar your molars loose on rough pavement. I really like the interior. Well crafted with attention to detail that you would expect from this car. The CVT also works well with no obvious shift points. I have noticed an intermittent subtle vibration at low speeds that radiates up through the steering wheel. Gas mileage is what you would expect from this engine (about 21MPG around town). This car comes with many standard features including bluetooth

Favorite Features

Maneuverability through highway traffic. Exterior and interior styling. Build quality. Bluetooth

Suggested Improvements

None

Review

The car handles and accelerates extremely well. The CVT has yielded very good fuel economy for a car with 290hp. The CVT unfortunately takes away from really making the maxima a four door sports sedan but it does make it feel and sound more like a luxury sedan. If you want to impress you can really use the driver sport mode to make the car sound and feel more like a normal automatic transmission which I have used quite often.

Favorite Features

Music box hard drive. Rearview camera. Heated steering wheel and heated front seats. Xenon headlights. CVT for decent fuel economy.

Suggested Improvements

Illuminated homelink and moonroof controls at night. Fog light on and cruise control on light indicator in the instrument cluster. Light in the glove box and center console at night. Mood lighting to include the front foot wells as well. Better voice recognition for the phone and navigation commands

Review

Just purchased new 2010 Maxima 3.5SV with all the bells and whistles. Drives Smooth and quiet. Very good acceleration. Some controls are in tight places and hard to get to. Seats are comfortable and the navigation system is easy to use. Fuel Efficiency is fantastic. 28.5 mpg at 75 mph on highway. Gets 22 around town.

Favorite Features

Performance and the navigation system

Suggested Improvements

Better access to controls like the buttons for setting the mirrors and hood latch and a few others. Seat belt is hard to get hold of when getting into the drivers seat-tight squease between seat and door where the belt is.
