First sedan since a 94 New Yorker. Soft ride and poor handling was its undoing. I purchased an SE for its ride and handling. Purchased every available option which makes it an SL with an SE ride. Turning and keyless entry takes some getting use to.

This car is very roomy for a family of four but yet sporty enough to satisfy the desires of most sports car enthusiast. I am very impressed with the power and agility of this car. I considered the Honda Accord, but overwhelmingly chose the Maxima due to its interior room, comfortable seats, and power. This car is fun to drive!!

I currently own a 2004 and now a 2008. Love both cars, the new CVT took a little time getting used to, very smooth much different than the 2004. Fuel mileage is about the same in both 22-25 mpg highway.

Not as good as you'd think

Wind noise, streaking wipers, creaking/binding sounds, headlight misalignment, right rear seat continually falls forward even though it's locked, air entering passenger compartment from somewhere up front, left front door handle had to be replaced as FOB signal failed, poor AM radio reception. Only item dealership repaired satisfactorily was the door handle. Averaging 14 mpg yet I travel on hwys 80% of the time. Our Altima was far superior MPG wise. CVT grinds between 30 & 40 mph.

After shopping hard for 3 weeks for a mid size car, I bought the SE Maxima. After having the car for a few weeks plus took a 1200 mile trip, I am not unhappy with the mileage. I got 19.6 around town and 27.8 hwy. Now I do not drive hard and use cruise control whenever I can. The handling is very good and comfort is a plus. The seats are terrific. Engineis tops in this class.
