My second Max, still fun to drive after 6 years. So much “stuff” for the price, still looks fresh as well. Sneaky quick, I don’t mind the CVT at all. Would do it all over!

4 door feels like a race car!

All trim levels come with the same engine and mabigation, bluetooth, same basic design. Turbo button really feels like it gives the car a charge. Decent handling for mid-large size sedan and acceleration. Very poor gas performance don't expect to save money on gas. Overall it's a fun reliable car with ago e average resale value.

Maximum for this Maxima

I have been a repeat customer of M'Lady for about the last eight years or so for both mine and my wife's vehicles. They've always been fair and respectful in our negotiations and that certainly did not change last night. Very satisfied with our lease deal last evening with the Maxima Platinum edition. I came in to acquire the gun metallic SR midnight edition but ended up leaving with the Platinum edition listed for 2K more but for the same deal because they had just sold the SR midnight. The sales guys are awesome!

SOLD in 2018!! Bought new in December 2016. White Platinum with black interior. I looked at Acura RLX and Toyota Avalon in 2016. Acura too expensive. Avalon to soft. However after fours years the Maxima is still very sporty. Probably me at this age just prefers quiet luxury. Three to five year old cars are the beat deals from reputable dealers. Max is fun and load when you accelerate! RLX and Impala are no longer. How long before Nissan drops Max? This is my last Max at any price.

I’m absolutely loving my Maxima and love driving it any chance I get (assuming my wife doesn’t take off in it first). We both love it and it has been a great buy so far. Just hit the 10000 mile mark and still in love

this is my 5th Maxima after being a General Motors fan for 45 yrs. Out of the 5 Maxima's I have had I have only had 2 service issues and they were both front wheel bearing problems.My last General Motors vehicle was serviced 14 times starting the day after purchase.The last issue with it was for a $5 part and they had the car for 36 days. While they had it ,I leased my firt Maxima and haven't looked back.

I have been driving Maxima’s for over 25 years. This is the worse one I’ve had. I had one prior to this one and took it back after 6 months because it had a rubbing noise that no one seen to hear at the dealership. Now I purchased another one and I still have the rubbing noise. I love Maxima’s, but this may be going back too.
