Undercover Luxury Vehicle

I owned an infiniti G37 before falling in love with my blue platinum Maxima. I was looking to trade in for a Q50 but the luxurious and well appointed interior, the exciting exterior design and the almost uniqueness of the model (there are not too many out there) made me purchase a great vehicle for almost $15K less than a similarly equipped Infiniti. The Mileage is great, also the premium gas is recommended, not required as in Luxury brands. The only downfall is the service experience. You will not get the same level of service as on a luxury brand but so far I had not any issues requiring service visits , just the first regular maintenance which you can perform anywhere. SO far after 8 months it is the best vehicle I have ever owned. I would recommend it

I rented this car and liked it enough to do some more research on it and leave a review. I drove it 1000 miles on a road trip and it was extremely comfortable. It had more than enough horses to pass. Cabin is quiet. Cruise control is easy to use. Plenty of standard tech. I'm baffled why I don't see more on the road.

A good car - has noises that won’t go away

This is a good car, but it has had 2 separate cabin noises that the dealer is having difficulty fixing. Both occur intermittently. One of them is originating in the trunk, behind the rear seat, the other may be the drivers side rear window or the area above the left rear wheel well. Frustrating for any new car, especially one that is not inexpensive.

Smiling Sun Day's
Ravi Rozier, 06/25/2018
2018 Nissan Maxima Platinum 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)

Every day the sun shines and I walk out to my parked vehicle, I can't help but smile. I'm still in the honeymoon phase where I just adore the sight of my car right before I prepare myself to sit inside and drive to work. I must confess, I smile if it's a rainy day, foggy day, whatever day it is, I smile. Still, the way the sun shines off my 2018 Carnelian red Nissan Maxima Platinum edition is extraordinary. I know I picked the right color. I just purchased the car last month and I had to make a quick decision. I had a gut feeling that if I didn't get off my couch that Sunday afternoon, I would have missed out on the exact color I wanted. I've recently checked and there are only 3 red Platinum editions within 100 miles of here. I bought the car at a dealer 2 miles away from my house so I'm still happy about that. As far as getting in the car, I've read that the Platinum is like a entry level luxury car. That's good enough for me and this car is an upgrade over my 2011 Maxima. The seats are pretty nice. The computer is awesome and it integrates with my Samsung Galaxy with Android Auto. I love it because my old Maxima didn't have the capability to stream music. I'm still geeked up by the fact I can stream all of the latest albums without any issues. There are two USB ports right in the front, so now when I pick up a friend, they don't have to unplug my phone to charge their phone. We can both get to the restaurant with 100% battery power. Also, the obvious prize is no longer having to buy car chargers when the one your using inevitably stops working. Also, the all-around camera is pretty cool. I like it a lot, especially when I realized that most of the Maxima trims don't have it. It helps with parking and now I'm always in the lines in the supermarket parking lot. The other thing that I absolutely love about this Platinum are the LED headlights. In my last Maxima, I thought age was finally catching up to me. I couldn't see too good at night and frequently turned on the bright lights when I was alone on some local streets. The first night I drove the Platinum and those LED automatically came on, it was OMG! In fact, I'm not aging at an accelerated rate, it's just the headlights on my old SV were absolutely horrible. Well, they did work so maybe I'm going a little too hard with the criticism, but the difference is astounding. I love those LED lights and every car I purchase in the future will have to have them. Like I said, I'm still in the honeymoon phase and the car is still pristine. Only had it for a month. Maybe in 6 months I'll be so-so about the car. But as of now, every time I go outside and get ready to go work, I smile as bright as any sun can shine it's glorious rays on my 2018 Carnelian red Maxima Platinum edition.

Awesome car to drive. Great room that I can fit my military service dog that's a Shepard Boxer mix in the back with my kids. Only hiccup is you can't change the headlights or taillights bulbs(normally) you have to buy the complete assembly. Safety comfort and fuel I getting 29-30 mpg in city 36 hwy. I've had issues withe right rear seat belt which set off the SRS light on. The dealer replaced just the belt even though the wires were separated they said I have to replace the harness $4,000.00 I argued it's a warranty and a safety issue. They didn't want to fix it.

We bought a 2016 Maxima sr, new. We loved this car until the problems just kept mounting. It has been in the shop numerous times (oil leak) took 3 days to find and fix. At least four factory recalls, which were fixed. The latest a bracket holding the muffler up broke, $200 fix. Drove it home the emission light came on. Went back to the dealer $875.00 to replace an oxygen sensor but that wasn't the only problem. A transmission code pops up. Needs a new transmission the CVT is slipping. That is at least covered by the drivetrain warranty. The car has 43k miles. Garaged, no dirt roads, very little city driving mainly hwy, no abuse. I have had 2 Maxima's, 2 Altima's. and a 350z. Done with Nissan.

Loves the body style. Had to get used to the comfort of the seats. Bought padded seat covers. Having trouble with water getting in the headlight. The right headlight was foggy and went out. Very expensive to repair. Not covered by warranty. Love other features though. Still like the car.

I love my Nissan Maxima! I see a lot of people saying it isn’t roomy but I’ve honestly never had a problem with that. I’ve had mine for 8 months now. We recently drove ours to Florida from Kentucky (11 hours) and never had any problems. Mine has 43xxx miles now, I bought it used and we got a great deal on it! I’ve never had any problems so far, I am completely satisfied with mine, and we will probably buy a Nissan again. I owned a 2017 Altima before this and we loved it too! We ended up getting in an accident and we walked away without a scratch! Nissan cars are very sturdy for sure! I recommend them!

i was originally looking at the Infiniti Q70 when I came across the Maxima Platinum. the car has all the options and comfort for less $$. the upgraded leather with AC seating is great for the and the panoramic roof is perfect for the Florida sunshine.

I really love this car, it’s very comfortable and it has enough power for the road. I drive to work about 1 and a half hours in the morning and about 2 to 3 hours in the afternoon or evening and with this car it makes the drive so stress free it just has everything you need to make it a comfortable drive. The exterior looks amazing, I’ve had people ask me what type of car it is and when I tell them most of the time they’re shocked, they think it’s a Lexus, or some Luxury vehicle. It just looks aggressive. I’ve put 109,500 miles on it and it still runs like new. I just love my car

We traded a 2014 Maxima for the 2018. The 2014 was a great car but once we drove the 2018 we knew that that's the car for us. If you are looking for a sports sedan that is on par or better than any luxury vehicle on the market today without the big price tag, you should check out the Maxima Platinum. It definitely exceeded my expectations. From the luxurious soft leather interior (even the dashboard) to the technology and great sounding stereo system, to the powerful engin and the sporty looking exterior - this car is a pleaser.

Maxima's punch

The Maxima's interior is on par with a luxury car. Sleek design details like the dash and interior lighting are what you would find on a BMW. Charging ports in the backseat are "a game changer" according to my teenage son. The car handles well just as expected from a Maxima. Very happy with this car, and I consider car shopping a brutal task.

I did a lot of research on quiet sedans.The Maxima was the quietest of all, which was my primary goal. I actually used a free DB meter to compare road noise and it was better than much higher end brands I test drove. I ended up with the SL which has 18 inch tires as apposed to the Platinum with 19 inch. The reason being a smoother ride with the 18 inch tires. Very quiet driving around town, and mostly quiet on the highway, with the exception of roads being repaved, or roads with more grating to keep from sliding. Carpay is excellent. It's a solid well engineered car with lots of bells and whistles for the price. Overall I love the handling, drive, and comfort of this Nissan. I've taken a few long road trips so far and really enjoyed the ride.

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.

The Maxima SV provides everything that I need; Performance, Comfort, Technology and overall appearance. One flaw would be the driver cockpit. The center console impedes a bit much than anticipated leaving less width/room for right leg.

I drove off the dealers lot in August of 2019. The car was whisper quiet and took bumpy roads without even a shake. Move forward to December 2019 and it is no longer a smooth quite ride. The car bounces and the road noise is loud. I took it to two dealers. They said nothing was wrong. How can that be? Read my intro. I called Nissan's customer service and told them that dealers were unable to bring the car back to how it had been when I bought it. Guess what they said. "We can't help you". Take it to your dealer. I went back to my dealer and the Service Manager and I went for a test drive. He said the car is fine and that the hard ride and road noise was what the younger market wanted. I may have to trade this car in for something that matches the manufacturers advertising and the expert reviews. My Nissan Maxima does not. Can anyone help me deal with what seems to be a company with no regard for its customers?
