Bad transmission

2005 Nissan Maxima 3.5 SE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6M)

I am the original owner. The repairs i have had to make ate all expensive. The transmission died out at 100 k and even after a rebuild it has never been the same. Plus, do not but this car if you have to drive in snow. The engine has a lot of torque and you have the Manu matic transmission. Can't get good traction on slippery surfaces.

This car is an amazing value. Luxury features, powerful 265hp V6, smooth automatic transmission (which you can shift yourself if you like), a unique muscular look, huge 18" performance tires and wheels (I could go on and on about how cool this car is!) Compare it with a Toyota Avalon and see that you get more for a lot less money.

This is my first Maxima and I can't find anything wrong with this car. It is powerful and comfortable. It's also very agile and confident.
Stick with toyota

After having 2 Lexus and a Toyota, I wanted a change. I bought a 2005 maxima from an older gentleman that never drove it. It is a fun and fast car to drive, but that is it. The rides stinks. It is the loudest car I have ever owned, the sunroof broke with in 3 months of owning it, a switch had to be replaced in the heater, and everything squeaks or rattles when you go over a bump. By far the worst turning radius of any car. It is like driving a tractor! This by far the worst quality of a vehicle I have ever owned. Not to mention the resale is horrible! Good luck getting rid of this car without at least 3-5k out of pocket. Junk!
