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.

We tried many other comparable makers and they weren't close in Quality, options, accessories or looks.
