I've HAD THIS CAR A LITTLE OVER ONE WEEK aND SO FAR SO GOOD. THE GAS MILEAGE IS A LITTLE DISAPPOINTING SO FAR, I'M HOPING IT WILL IMPORVE. RIGHT NOW ONLY 15MPG, mostly CITY DRIVING. The power, handling, and style is what I like best . Reliability is very important to me so only time will tell. I've driven Honda Accords for over 20 years but the new Accord didn't offer the stylishness of the Maxima.

Have had my new max for about 90 days and i have to report that it is one of the most fun cars i have owned to date...however, little electrical glitches keep arising, cruise control kicks off(twice), sunroof malfunction (twice),and the latest is the auto headlights have been malfunctioning (twice). Have taken it to dealership about glitches, and you guessed it...nothing happens. I would hate for this to be the first car that i have to make them buy back, i hope these little things will dissappear because this car is sooooo sweet!

Purchased 4/18,have driven it to Glacier Park and back and around home area. The most comfortable car I've ever driven; very smooth the ride. On Glacier trip the car drove itself.Did return trip to in 2 1/2 days;second day over 600 miles was a breeze. Only problems I had are: getting used to fact it is wider than previous car and being careful not to oversteer on curves. Other than that, no problems so far. Great looking car,for an over 60 it doesn't look like an old lady's car. 12 year old "grand" cousin calls it a cool car.

I've had my maxima for 5 years and already have transmission problems. It will cost me $4000 to get a rebuilt transmission which is horrible for a 5 year old car. Will never buy a Nissan for a long time. Would warn anyone buying a Nissan Maxima and for them to google Nissan Maxima and transmission problems.
