Positive Review

"Solid car, worth the value"

This is my daily commuter vehicle. I, do not have any concerns. This car gets me around, and it does get decent fuel mileage. They are very reliable and comfortable. Plenty of room for passengers. The interior design is really nice. Very easy going, with comfy leather seats. The Bose surround sound speakers are terrific. I, enjoy using this cd player. Apple car play, and other apps. Touch screen stereo, dual climate heating control. Many nice things these cars have. Very reliable, fun to drive.

Critical Review

"Scrap metal"

That's all this car is worth, scrap metal. These cars have the worst resale value. They are basically a push away car. There not made to hold any future trade in value. The fuel mileage is terrible for being a sports sedan they claim to be from nissan. It's not a quick car whatsoever. This car has a combo v-6 engine with transmission. There's your problems right there!! Walk away from these maxima sedans.

Very pleased!
Pros

great mileage

Cons

?

I picked up a used 2017.5 Maxima SR with 113,000 miles and can't be happier with this vehicle. 3.5 V6 has plenty of power. Very smooth comfortable ride. I'm getting 31 MPG on the road. Very sporty and a lot of fun to drive. One of the best used vehicle purchases I've ever made

2017 Maxima

2017 Platinum Maxima! Great car. Almost a decade old and zips us back & forth between NV & MT several times a year! Great MPH for a V6! We get lots of compliments still about how fast she looks and she is “sexy” 🤣❤️

I have owned 2 Maxima vehicles.

Both vehicles were purchased new. The dealer talked me into purchasing extended warranty. I never once used that warranty. My last Maxima had 285,000 km. It never had any problems. Good regular maintenance was all that was required. I am sorry they have gone out of production. I guess an Altima will be my next choice, unless I can find a Maxima with lower mileage. I believe Nissan makes good cars. Maybe there are poor owners.

Love my Maxima

I drive a 2018 Maxima which I bought new, had 25480 miles. This is my 3rd Maxima in a row. I am very disappointed that Nissan has discontinued Maxima. Of the 3 I've owned (all new), I've never had a single problem. You may be wondering why I have such low miles, I only Drive 10 miles a day. I did put on 1800 miles during two trips.

Bad transmission
Pros

Nope

Cons

Engine crank seal leak, transmission etc

"Transmission Replacement" It's a big car, more exspensive for repairs being a front wheel drive v-6. This vehicle sucks!! Does not have a good reputation. Trade in value is very sluggish regardless what you paid.

Very hard vehicle to trade in
Pros

Hell No For Pro's

Cons

V6 front wheel drive vehicle

No matter what you paid for this car, you won't ever get your money back out of it. The trade in value is poor!! It's not a good car to own. Small compact size vehicle's is what people like. This maxima is a big car!! Front wheel drive v6!! Worst experience ever for getting involved with this vehicle.
