We've only had the car a few weeks but love it. We especially appreciate the safety features and are looking forward to being more comfortable on road trips. Fit and finish are excellent all around. Going to really enjoy the heated seats and heated steering wheel this winter. No complaints at all so far. Lots of compliments!

Still loving it after 2 1/2 years!

I bought my 2017 Nissan Maxima Platinum in February 2018 after driving Mustangs for 20 years. I still love my Maxima and I haven't had a single problem with it (knocks on wood). I use Regular Unleaded gas and average 29.4 MPG. I have 61,000 miles on it now and drive about 75 miles per day for work (yes, including throughout this pandemic I'm still in the office every day.) I'll be looking for some new tires come winter, but other than that - nothing but oil changes every 10,000 miles with synthetic. So far, so good.

Mostly fun but some annoying deficiencies

A couple deficiencies that Nissan cannot or will not address. Android auto on board the car is incompatible with the current release of Android phone operating systems. Nissan tells me they have no plans to do anything about an upgrade for the problem. Also, the mpg calculator consistently overstates the actual gas mileage.
