Not Enough Leg Room

My husband is very tall and the design of the driver's seating area did not allow him to have enough room between the steering wheel and the dashboard. Other than that, I liked the Maxima very much.

Completely Disappointed

The vehicle steering is terrible!!!! It very hard to judge your front distance between cars and objects on both sides. The rear camera gets foggy easily. It should have came with front/rear cameras. It's definitely not a quiet ride, I can always hear the wind on the highway not matter my speed. I wish that I could trade it but the trade-value is a "F". This was my first and last experience with a Nissan product.

Great looking car. Cheap parts . I brought 1 of the 1st release cars back in June 2015. Door jams was a rush paint job faded! Driver seat springs broke in the 1st month console arm rest rip. Dealership didn't want to warrant the parts. Had to Harass them to paint the door jams! Car was in the shop for almost 1.5 months! Right bumper clap replace twice. And it still pops out never resolve that problem yet. Love the lights . But I have the car to my wife. I rather drive her Avalon.

Had 5 Maximas, but probably no more

I drove the SR several times. While it is the best Maxima yet in many respects with somewhat questionable styling, marketing decisions that Nissan made will drive some buyers away. I'm currently driving 7th generation SV with Sports and Tech and I still like the car. I was very excited when the 8th generation came out. But Nissan's decision to keep basic features from the SR, specifically the moon roof and memory seats/mirrors, something I had in my 2009 Maxima, is troubling. So, after driving the car and liking its road feel, I came to the conclusion that I don't have to loose the features that I like and there are other manufacturers out there that actually attempt to listen to what their customers desire. I guess it is time to consider Acura TLX or even Camaro SS or Mustang GT. Good bye Maxima :(
