Used 2004 Nissan Maxima 3.5 SL 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A) Consumer Reviews
Great looks. Fun to drive.
After years of buying Toyota Camrys, I switched to the Nissan Maxima this year because of its much sharper styling and quality features -- such as the DVD Navigation System -- not available in the Camry. The car is solid, quiet, quick, fun to drive, and looks great.
Good but not great
This vehicle is probably a great car for a young adult, but for a middle aged person it is not smooth enough over rough roads. I can't wait to return to the luxury class I got used to. I am willing to give up the performance for the smooth ride.

Nice car
I have been a Camry owner for the last 20 years. But I liked the luxury and handling of the Maxima and the price was right. It is my first real luxury car and I love all the bells and whistles. It is a pleasure to drive. The downers are very wide turning radius, back window is small and slanted reducing visibility and glare from dashboard on front windshield is distracting.
Every Max I get is better
I've owned Nissans since 1971. This one is by far the best. Lots of power, and although I'm somewhat disappointed in the gas mileage (about 22.5), I expect it to get better. The Bose is great, and I like the computer in the middle of the dash. I opted for the sun roof instead of those faux pax sun screens, and I think I like the sun roof better.
Fun and Luxurious
My Maxima is fun to drive and accelerates quickly. The AC and heater are a major improvement over the Bonneville I formerly had. The leather interior is attractive and comfortable. I had a security problem starting the engine one morning. I'm still not sure what caused it. Possibly a key transponder problem.
