I had a 6 speed manual Maxima for 6 years before this one and loved it. I absolutely love the design and drive of 7th generation Maximas. I was just waiting for a great deal on one before buying, but I have wanted one for a long time. The perfect balance between a fun, sporty, sexy car, that is still reliable, good for families, and decently economical. Although the new Maximas don't come in manual, they are still very fun to drive. Quit buying cliche sedans and get a Maxima.

I purchase my 2013 Maxima SV in 2016 and I was drawn to the Maxima for the style and I discovered it is a very enjoyable car to drive, excellent acceleration, lots of features and color options. What the Maxima lacks is interior room, also there is winds noise when driven over 50 mph. I love my Maxima but I stand 6'1" tall and there is no room for anyone other than a small child to sit in the seat behind me.

It's been 3 years since I bought this car. The only thing I had to do is replace the battery, oil change and rotate the tires. No big issues at all. When I bought this car, I was looking for a nice looking car that was fast and did not need to break the bank. I have a family so I good reliabale car. This car is perfect. The gas milage is decent. I drive mostly to work thru the city but highway miles is great as well. When I need to accelerate, the car does its duty. I drove this car from Tampa, FL to Savannah, GA and it was so comfortable all 6 hours of driving. Its a joy to drive and takes very little to fix, IF there anything to fix. No high maintenance bills like with BMW or Benz. Still looks nice and gets the job done well.

Purchased in April. Now have 10,000 miles on it. Overall very happy, something I wouldn't have said two weeks after purchasing, but time and service departments can heal all wounds. Within a week of purchase the steering wheel controls all died. It was thought that it was a fuse but needed a new cable system. Since replacement it has worked fine. Two weeks after taking possession when shutting the car off it went into On mode and drained the battery. Another 25 mile trip to the dealer only to be lectured on how to turn the car on/off properly. This is our 3rd Nissan, we know how to turn it off. It has shot into the On mode since but we are careful to watch for it.

I have a 2013 Maxima SV and the car has not given me any problems at all. I bought with back in Ocotober 2018 with 58k miles and now I have 66k miles on it. Since that time I have made 2 trips to Georgia from Florida and had no work done. My last car was a Nissan Altima with lasted 200k miles before I gave to my friend to get this car. Looks great, decent on gas, and fast. It's been 2 years after I bought my maxima and its still going strong. Besides the usual pull change and rotation of tires, no issues and no problems whatsoever. It is still a great car.
