This car is awesome inside and out! I wasn't really looking to trade out of my beloved 2014 Mustang until I saw this car online. Then I went for a test drive and was blown away. I had to have it! Nissan has done a superior job with redesigning the 2016 Maxima! For those of you in need of a sedan at a great price that comes well equipped in all models and yet still gives a sporty look and feel, this is the one to buy!

I purchased my 2016 Maxima 7/14/2015 from Andy Mohr Nissan by sept 2015 my vehicle had to have the transmission replaced, panoramic sunroof replaced and it was another component that was causing the car to miss fire. I was told by the dealership to contact consumer affairs about just getting me into another car because they couldn't recommended nor just put me in another vehicle. The case was then turned over to the arbitration dept. for review But unfortunately Nissan denied the new car replacement claim and now I'm forced to drive a vehicle that i really don't feel safe in. Nissan is taking full financial responsibility for the repairs and rental car coverage but no one from Nissan was driving the car on the interstate when the car just totally lost power so they can't imagine what I'm going through on a daily basis since Ive been back in the car nor do i think they really care. This is my second Nissan but will be my last! I really like the car but don't like the fact that Nissan is basically telling me Tough it out and we will fix anything that goes wrong with it.

I am in love with this car. The style,the beauty,the comfort, and the speed is what I have been looking for in a car without having to purchase a sport car. You have luxury and the performance of a sport car all in one. Thanks Nissan you have really out done yourselves.

Enjoying my new ride

I had a 2012 Maxima SV Sport fully loaded thought of keeping for another 10 years but after a oil changed dealership had few of '16s in the showroom lot. Well I instantly waited until few months later not long away on getting a newer model. Absolutely blown away with everything on this eighth generation it's a beautiful car overall their lots of new updates and more advanced features. The Maxima rides 10x better than my '12 it's little bit comfortable with Sport-Quitted leather seats now available with ventilated cooled & heated front seats. Navigation system seems great but looks outdated not much if have center stacked center it's so convenient doing anything instead using the display at the screen. This car got better performance more quicker than ever compared to my old Maxima this new car is much powerful with a 300hp V-6 plus newer parts and Continuously Variable Transmission is absolutely perfect along there is (Sport and Normal modes) I usually keep mines in Sport mode as car gets more aggressive on road. Compared with the last model this new model has got more advanced on everything it's a much highly technical car in class. I feel much safer driving this car has all of the bells and whistles rides quieter no squeaks or rattles even interior looks more top of the line liking this new Maxima might be weird looking coming down the highway but it's a great car overall new exterior looks beautiful love all new latest features ever as a more computer car.

I couldn't be happier with my car. Purchased a pearl white SR with camel interior. Just passed 1800 miles and it's a pleasure to drive. The suspension is a little stiff due to it being a sport but that's something I knew going in. Has all of the bells and whistles of many vehicles above its class. With the dial comfortably located I rarely touch the screen. Power is very sufficient and road noise is virtually nonexistent. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone in the market for a sub 40k 4 door sedan that likes a little wow factor. Have been complimented many times so far. As far as the cons.....the camel leather wrapped steering wheel looks great but I can already tell it's going to take a lot of care to keep looking clean and new. We tend to drive with our hands in the same location and I don't know how well it's going to hold up over the years. The Bluetooth has acted up a few times when trying to connect my fiance's Galaxy s6 but my iPhone 6 works perfect. No moonroof available on the SR I guess due to the center of gravity, but I feel like something could have been done to make it an option. Mpg is good on the highway but I have been averaging less than 20 in the city. (Premium fuel only). Other than that I absolutely love this car!
