The Max is Back !

2009 Nissan Maxima 3.5 SV 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)

After months of research and 3 weeks of test drives the purchase paid off. Before I bought my Silver on Black Max with premium package, I test drove the Acura TL, BMW 325i, Audi A4, Infinity G35, and a few others. The Maxima was not hands down the "better car" in each category, but lets look at what it gives you. It's not as fun as the BMW, not as quick as the G35 (I tested the rear wheel drive). It won't match the interior of the Audi.But, the Maxima comes fully loaded at around $37k. It comes with the technology - excellent navigation system, easy to use interface/layout, cooled/heated seats, gas saver CVT, 290 HP engine, nice leather, quite ride.

I purchased this just before taking a road trip roughly 1200 miles round trip. This car is perfect, every where I go someone was asking me what it was. I got the white SV Sport Package. The leather seats are to die for and the pick is just outstanding. Another thing that I love about this car is when taking off from a full stop and punching the gas peddle I don't have to grab onto the steering wheel to control it. I live in the suburbs of DC and have only seen one other 09 on the road. I love this car!! Oh by the way this is my 3rd Maxima and 4th Nissan.

I’ve had many cars & I can honestly say this car is by far the best. Performance is amazing & very surprising to only be a V6. Raced many cars from A6 to a X5 & this car is outstanding. I have the sports & tech package so the paddle shifters definitely come in handy when looking for quick speed without having to throw it in sport mode like most cars. I travel a lot with my car so long distance as a driver is not bad. Gas really sucks & I HIGHLY recommend to use premium only... do not be cheap it will not only mess your performance up but you will notice your gas will burn tremendously. I own this car & definitely don’t plan on selling it. I will get another car before I sell. Has never let me down. Had it for about a year & put roughly 15,000 miles. Traveling from PA to FL & still running brand new.

Smooth very comfortable ride. Decent visibility, and lots of airbags! Great sound system. (Bose). Larger V-6 does require premium gas. Mileage is good at 26 hwy but not great. Large trunk and rear passengers will be very comfortable with rear audio controls and air controls. Love it.

I've always been a SUV guy, but with rising gas prices I started taking a look at a few of the larger sedans on the market. The 09' Maxima trumped all the other contenders... hands down. Fun to drive, decent gas mileage (about 20 mpg in the city so far), very comfortable, and it turns a lot of heads. I opted for the base package that includes a moonroof, power seats, 6 disc changer, 18 inch wheels, and cloth seats (although they are more like microfiber). Test drive this car, you will not be disappointed!
