2011 Nissan Maxima 3.5 S 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
3 of 3 people found this review helpful
I traded an '06 Maxima SE for the '11 S. I love the styling, inside and out. Very classy in black. Power is great, although there is some torque steer. Comfort is great, and the inside controls are much more user friendly than on the '06. Trunk space is less, which could be an issue. The radio is much better quality than the '06. It's fun to drive, and it handles well. Now for what I don't like. Under heavy acceleration the engine is very noisy, almost irritatingly so. Also, there is significant wind noise starting about 40 mph on up. The ride isn't as smooth as my '06 either. Maybe it's the Goodyear Eagles---my other one had Bridgestones. On windy days, the car is buffeted.
Rattles

Love everything about the car except the rattles. I hear one above the steering column. There is one on the plastic piece that has all the temperature and radio buttons. I hear one over by the passenger side where the seat belt is located. Of course these rattles come and go. I took it to the dealer who appearently fixed a rattle but I couldn't tell. Also said that the rattle where the radio butttons were couldn't be fixed yet they somehow made the rattle louder. You also can actually see my passenger seat vibrate as I'm driving although the wife doesn't mind it:)

I purchased a 2011 Maxima paid 42,000 dollars said to myself I am going to follow the warranty maintenance so it would last me a lifetime I have had nothing but problems with this car in 6 years. So far I purchased 3 batteries had the sway bar replaced, Idle sensor, the spring broke in half the service manager said I have never seen this before struts, lower control arm front windshield cracked in half my first year of having the car had the brakes replace every year the car has been terrible suspension had the car aligned 6 times the sad part is it only has 60.000 miles.

the SV is a rough ride, 19" tires are pricey and avg 40-50000 mileage life. I paid it off today and had a great check up at the dealership. Few minor problems (a/c, motor mount, CB joint at axle. No regrets, runs great!

4 Door Sports Car with 5 Star Safety!

I did a lot of research before deciding upon this car. Most important to me was safety, after being in a car accident a year ago it was clear to me that if someone can hit me out of no where, I need to make sure the next vehicle I have stands up to impact. This car has a 5 Star Safety Rating and side impact is well covered! The inside of this car makes you feel like you're wrapped in bubble wrap and foam! It has all the comfort and bells and whistles of a luxury car, with all the speed you need to safely get onto the highway of a sports car! I'm very happy with my new 2011 Maxima!
