So Far Bulletproof Ride

2014 Nissan Maxima 3.5 S 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)

I bought my 2014 Nissan Maxima 3.5S in a Nissan dealership in NJ in October of 2018. The vehicle was certified pre owned with 44,700 miles. I got a good price. So far, as of July 2019 I am pleased to say I have had ZERO problems. I did a CVT Fluid change at 50K (you should do it every 30-40k with Nissan CVTs to prevent issues), changed the brake fluid as it as filthy, and standard oil changes. I just went synthetic at 53,000 and the engine purrs like a kitten. The car is now over five years old and is rattle free, and feels like a solid ride. I have another four years of payments on this car, so I need it to last and drive 20K+ miles a year. I anticipate to keep this car at least until 160-200K. So far, this car has given me zero issues. It appears as long as you use good premium fuel (car is sensitive towards premium and good gas), keep up on normal maintennce (change fluids, frequent oil changes, tire rotations and pads, etc) this car will go to 200K easily. If the car continues to hold up and god willing lasts me to 200K, I will be buying another one for when I have a family. So far zero complaints, will do follow up 2.5 and 5 year long term review. Great job Nissan!

This is my fourth Maxima. I had an 03, 08 & 10. I now own the 2013. For the price to content and performance ratio this is the best sedan out on the market! Take it from someone who knows and has searched for better. The VQ series engine is one of the best don't take my word for believe wards engine review. The mileage is terrific for the level of performance and luxury that you get. The exterior styling reminds people of a Porsche or a jag! The interior is as close to a sports car as you can get. Considering it's a Nissan and a Japanese model you know you're getting top quality and high reliability. I highly recommend this vehicle to anyone considering a sports performance sedan.

I have had my Maxima for a couple months and love it. I have had it on short trips and 3 plus hour drives. The comfort is a welcome relief..even after 3 hrs I am not miserable and back does not hurt. I average 26mpg hwy and city driving, If I had to complain about anything it would be that there is not an audio warning on the back up camera. This car drives like a more expensive make. Friends cannot believe that it was under 35K.
Great car

Simply put, the car does a lot of things well. The interior is as well designed and rich as any car out there in it's price range. The exterior, although showing it's age, still has a stylish and sporty masculine look about it. The care handles well, the suspension is firm but not too stiff, and the car accelerates well with plenty of power. I had leased a '12, just turned it in early, and now lease a '14. As I stated, it just does so many things well.
early, but so far so great.

its early. i have only had the car for a week but have 758 miles after that week. bought it with 9 miles on it. i drive a LOT for work and the ride on my sport model with 19" wheels/tires are definitely rougher than the 18" models, but not too rough. i drove both, preferred the looks of the sport. the BOSE is good, the ride is good,but cant say enough about the Bluetooth. no one knows, even at 80mph that i am using BT, its that good. i am coming out of a RAM and was worried about the transition from a lot of space to a car, and so far not too bad. the 290 HP is really there. my previous 2 vehicles were a G8 GT and a RAM with HEMI so i thought this would lack punch, and it does not.
Love my maxima !!!

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.

The Nissan V-6 is a great engine, step on the gas at any speed and be prepared for quick acceleration. Steering through turns provides good feedback and you can take most curves at aggressive speeds. The seats are very comfortable and at 6-3 height I like the telescoping steering. Favorites also include the adjustable heat control on the seats and the steering wheel. Brakes are strong and smooth. The only negative is powerful torque steer in wet conditions which I'm concerned about when the snow hits New England. Lots of fun to drive
Sweet car

I have the SV sport package version of the Maxima. The car requires to use only 93 octane or premium gasoline. I personally recommend Bp gasoline with invigorate. In total vehicle maintenance going to the dealer is pricey. I had to get a new battery. It did not last 5 years. Its only lasted just under 4. That's the only disappointing thing so far. I had my Maxima for 4 years. I'll give it an 8 out of 10.

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.

Getting the Maximum from my Maxima

This is great vehicle for singles or couples. Not so much for folks who carry backseat passengers regularly. Its definitely sporty looking and powerful but a traditional trans would have been a great option. Cant complain about the CVT though. Its been smooth and trouble free for the two years + that I've owned the car. I loved the idea of having the panoramic sunroof but living with it has proved to be less than a love affair. After about of year it began to rattle. After several trips to the dealer, their solution was to replace the entire roof - under warranty, of course. Unfortunately the problem has returned and can be nerve wrecking on bumpier roads. Thankfully the Bose sound system is clear and strong enough to drown it out the rattle. As time has passed, the gas mileage has improved. Even under a lead-footed driver like myself, I can squeeze out 25 mpg under mixed driving. Just be prepared to pay at the pump. We all know that premium isn't always cheap! But all in all, as a repeat Maxima owner (this being #4), this one is the best I've owned yet. Love it and it still looks as fresh as anything else on the road.

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.
Best car ever bought

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.

I have waited two and half hours for my car. Only to discover that my warranty does not cover anything essential. After a tire rotation my sterring column began to vibrate. Which is a problem I did not previously have. Ugh! My sunroof rumbles when opening. Not a happy camper.

I have about a 1k on the car and it handles, accelerates, brakes and looks great. Its 2017 SR and the suspension is stiff. The interior is clean and modern but the Vinyl seats were stitched wrong (front driver left), (rear driver and passenger seat backs), (rear driver side passenger seat back) and Nissan wont fix it under warranty. They call it minor defects that are not covered under warranty. lets just say Nissan doesn't want to take responsibility for their crappy workmanship. The fit and finish of the seats is mediocre. The car was basically not detailed on delivery and I later noticed it was damaged (Steering wheel was torn, the back passenger door had a deep scratch and the dealer damaged my right front wheel in service. They wouldn't repair any of this at the dealer i bought it from. EXTON NISSAN is garbage. Check your Maxima or any brand new nissan over with a fine tooth comb IN DAY LIGHT before you sign the paperwork. They love to sell and deliver at night so they can shove you off and not take responsibility for damage or issues. 2011 Max issues, 2014 max issues, 2017 max issues. They wont help you if you find something wrong later or they will make it difficult for you to the point where its not worth going back. No more Nissan's, the company blows at sales and service and I just read an article that they are overworking factory employees and screwing people out of overtime and benefits. No wonder the car comes screwed up.

Have had the 2013 Maxima SV with premium package for 3 months and Love it. Was coming out a 2002 Acura RL sedan & did a lot of research on imported 4 door sedans in the $35K - $45K range - Maxima SV won hands down against all competitors. Great ride, strong engine, CVT transmission with shift multiple options responsive handling, strong brakes, attractive body style very nice interior with Bose stereo. Local dealers were aggressive in their pricing too - all around I an quite happy with the Nissan Maxima SV Premium car - you won't be disappointed.

I was hoping to get the sports and technology package. I got the Maxima SV with the tech package. But to my surprise, so far I'm not disappointed at all. Even though the car is about 4 years old, it runs like new. I'm happy overall with the car.

For 5k miles, we absolutely loved our 2013 Maxima SV Premium Tech Package till it left us stranded in the middle of no where. Apparently, the timing chain came off. We are waiting for the dealership to put in a brand new engine. The dealership we purchased it from was so kind to offer me 28K on a car I purchased 3 months ago for 35K.
Satisfied for now

I recieve a great interest rate on the car. The sales man was good. Once it got down to the actual finances and paper I found out the the car didnt have much warranty on it. So I they sold me a additional warranty that was pricey. I was a out town buyer so my time an option was limited. After driving the car home it set for two weeks my job took me out of town (travel by air). Once I actually had the opportunity to drive it, it drove good but the radio dont play right when you use the USB or plug anything in the outlet that proved power for chargers. I had time to take the car back to have them check it out yet.. Other then that the car runs great!

Everything about this car is almost perfect, accept the safety is not the best, and the technology is not the best. The safety isn’t the best because you’re very close up to the front window, and the airbags just aren’t the great. Also the tech isn’t the best because it only has a technological screen that’s not the best. Otherwise it’s a good car! So I recommend it!
