"This stylish 2004 Maxima SL has over 125,000 miles with no road emergencies. I got the dreaded "check engine light" once and after the service was told to only use premium gas. Never a major problem since. The greatest value I ever put into a car. Great comfort on long drives. Regular maintenance will hopefully see me through a couple more years."

"When I finally found a 6th generation Maxima I could afford I was so excited. She was a crimson color with charcoal interior and had 88k miles. Since our little 87 Nissan truck has over 100k and given very little trouble, I just knew the high miles meant nothing, a Nissan's supposed to go forever. What I didn't know is that the 04-06 Maximas all share a faulty transmission. This problem affects Volvos with the same transmission, it's called "shift-bang." What that does is the car will jerk when downshifting from 3rd to 2nd. Eventually it will also start hesitating when you shift from R to D, then jerk into gear. Besides being aggravating, it will also break the motor mounts. I found out all this stuff from researching the Web and seeing the hundreds of stories from other folks with the same problem. Of course, Nissan Corp. "Could not help me with this problem." I paid a little over $1000 to put on a new valve body and it solved the problem. 6 months later, a new noise emerged from the engine. The Nissan dealership charged $90 to tell me it was "Something in the transmission." Another shop confirmed that for free. Options were a rebuild or remanufactured transmission, the latter being nearly $4000 with a 12-month waranty. This was 6 months after spending $1000! I had other problems that were certainly reasonable with a high-mileage car, but the tranny problem can show up at less than 50k. I got lucky with a trade-in, and bought a Honda coupe. I will never buy another Nissan, they are the best-looking vehicles on the road but the most expensive to maintain."

"Since I have owned my 2006 Maxima SL it has been a pleasure. Extremely fast, rides like a Lazy Boy, and corners like a Porsche. Heated steering wheel & seats make cold mornings that much better. I only wish Nissan would make them like this again. The new Maxima's are built on the Altima platform and the rear seat is cramped. Too bad Nissan changed the styling because they really had a winner."

"I bought my 95' Maxima with 171,000 miles on it. 5 spd of course. I like the manual shifts because the engines last longer. Now I just bought an 04 with 67,736 miles on it. It has all the creature comforts and it is also a six spd, the executive edition. The only thing that had to be fixed was the throttle position sensor which the dealer replaced and the battery. I 'm satisfied with the exception of the Skyview Roof. Would have preferred the moonroof. Overall, it is truly the best reliable sports sedan for the money."

"We have had the car for several years bought used with 67k miles. It has incredible power, and excellent handling. Very comparible with my 89 Firebird Formula. Yet in a 4 door. I was able to get sub 9 second times in the 1/8th mile. Pushed it will spin the tires in first, second and third gear. This is with the 5 speed automatic, which are normally known for lag time. It is very comfortable, and reliable and fun to drive."
