I love my "Max"!

We were in the market for a new car. We have had Nissan trucks that performed well and that we liked, but never a Nissan car. Drove the Maxima, loved the sports car feel of the drive and look of the car. It's a good combination of sportiness and luxury with all the bells and whistles. Have always gotten great service from the Nissan delearship. We expect to have this car a long time - it's got a great classic look.

Sport Maxima

The cars performance is outstanding. The fit and finish of the interior/exterior is superb. The leg/head room for my 6'6" frame is better than expected.Great sound system!

The Jury is still outl

Beautiful car for the money. I was looking for a car with a six cylinder which uses regular fuel. Discussed this topic with salesman and mechanic. Both stated that the car used regular fuel. I later found a Consumer Report article which stated that the car used premium fuel. Thinking this might be an old article, I again asked the sales man and mechanic if the car used regular or premium fuel. Both stated that Consumer Report is in error and the car only uses regular fuel. I now know that the Consumer Report was correct.

Terrific car

Since 1990 I have driven Lincolns. A Mark VII A Mark VIII And a Continental. I truly loved my Lincolns, but the new styling looses me. I shopped for 6 months looking at Lincolns Lexus Acura Cadillac and BMW. Shopping close to the same price point, Maxima was the best value. Before buying, I rented and drove a Maxima for a week. Logged about 1500 miles, loved the car. This car has a great interior with the upgraded leather. Good visibility, a very quiet interior at road speed. The performance is all you want. The transmission is so smooth and with paddle shifters, you can put the car through the paces. Mileage is acceptable for a performance car. Only drawback is the trunk size.

My third Maxima

What a beautiful car. For a few years my family has been Toyota/Lexus fans. I am very happy with my new Maxima and fell it is heads and tails above my Toyota Camry. I just love it!!! See you on the highway and happy motoring!

Maxima SV

I replaced a 2004 Nissan Maxima SE with the new Maxima 2011 SV. I opted not to get the technology package as I have everything they are trying to offer with it in my iPhone. The car is very tight and handles well. At 290 horse power I feel the car could accelerate faster but it still does a good job. There is more than enough room in the back seats for adults. The suspension is a lot stiffer than I expected, but I suspect it is because it is new and I replaced an 7 year old vehicle. The CVT Transmission is pretty sweet and very smooth. I tried the manual shifting and the car will really take off using that, but I suspect I really will not use it unless I am alone and just having a little bit of fun. It is not a race car but will hold its own. The end result is this is a solid car and will fit very well for the purpose I bought it.

the best in its class

this is my 2nd Maxima, I've had one since 2009 when the body style changed.. I love this car. I rent several different cars about 15-20 times a year and I LOVE the Maxima. if you want a luxury, style and a great ride by a maxima. I drove a Lexas and a CTS and both were an overall disappointment compared to the Maxima. Nissan really give u more for the money!! If u want to waste money and looking just for a look then buy a CTS
