So Far Bulletproof Ride

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!

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.

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.
Overall good vehicle👍😀

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
