Great looking car but with issues

I am only 6' tall but I had issues with the extra thick door at the knee level and the extremley high console at the knee level. This caused my knees to be way too close together making it an uncomfortable driving position for me. Also the gas pedal it too far to the right-not a natural position at all. The worst part of the Platinum model is the sound system. Very flat, very tinny, cheap sound! We have owned 2 Maximas and 2 Infinitis and all had Bose sound systems in them. Right away, we realized that the current sound system in the 2016 Platinum is very-very inferior to all of our previous Bose car systems. Our Toyota van sounds much better and it is just the basic sound system, not a Bose. We tried all sources of music and did all adjustments you can make and the sound system has very weak bass and just a very plain sound. This caused us to not buy the car actually. Love the look and performance but being uncomfortable for me to drive and weak sounding sound. Very sad but true

Great new style. It's a 4 DOOR SPORTS CAR. To me it is bigger and better and less expensive than the BMW I was looking at. Also the Maxima offered a better alternative to the pricy sister company Infiniti line. It's brand new, so check back with me in a year.

Still smiling every time I drive

No question the best looking sedan on the market, in my opinion. Love the responsive acceleration, and the driver's seat fits my 6'4" frame more comfortably than anything I've driven in a long time. And despite driving aggressively still gets 25 mpg. Love it!

Classy yet powerful design!

My only complaint about this car is the mileage per gallon! But this may only be because before this car I was driving a 2010 Toyota Corolla (manual transmission) so this car is a lot different! But other than that I am enjoying it everyday!
