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.

Sitting at Nissan dealership

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.

Good car has its defects and damage upon deliver

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.

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.
