Bought this car new in Dec 2006 and have enjoyed it every single day I've had it, and I've driven it a lot -- 115,000 miles so far and I plan on keeping it easily until it has 300,000+ miles on it. Have always had it serviced at my Nissan dealership religiously; the car has been extremely dependable and very light on the pocket book; only needing brake work and tires replaced as you'd expect. Continental ExtremeContact tires are great on this car; they make it ride like new. Besides being a work car, we use this car for all our long trips to visit family (500+ miles each way) and always feel decent at the end of the drive. Last but not least, this car has excellent "get up and go"!
Not a good car for the $!

I've had 4 other Maximas and the last one I had was a 2000 model & had over 250,000 miles on it when I traded it in and it was still going. The '07 I've only had it 3 years now & LOTS of problems. In the shop every 3 weeks. ONLY use premium gas & make sure you do not drive this car low on gas, trash will get in cam shaft sil. valves & cause timing & knock in engine & will smoke BAD when you crank it up & it cost $600 just to replace front set and 2 months later had to replace them again & just been told they need to be replaced for a 3rd time. Also change oil at 3,000 miles even though book says 5,000. Also A/C has went out 2 times in 2 years. Now have to replace oil pump & possibly motor.

P0011 - Known Timing Chain Issue

I swore to myself I would never buy another Nissan after the transmission issues I had with an '83 Pulsar. Fast forward to Dec. of 2016 when looking for a safe, low cost family vehicle and I ended up with a 2007 Nissan Maxima. I even purchased this from Infiniti dealership thinking I would have a road worthy vehicle. (even AS IS) Well, 15 minutes after picking up the car, the check engine light came on. After being completely rejected by the dealership, spending over $800 to date, it was determined this vehicle had a well documented defective timing chain issue that resulted in a class action filing back in 2013. (Kobe Falco v. Nissan North America Inc et al) The next step is to fork out a further $2500 to fix the chain on a 10 year old vehicle or take my losses. Nissan (nor Infiniti) will never have my business under any circumstances ever again.

Previously owned a 2004 Max. The 07 is improved in both interior and exterior. The cvt is very smooth and torque steer greatly reduced. Acceleration about the same
