"I am a methodical systematic buyer and did my research before buying this car 5 years ago brand new. I scored big and this car was everything I expected. Main focus was on engine reliability and sporty-ness. I put 40K miles on mine and the CVT tranny is super smooth I get about 28.8 mpg and this car pulls hard. What I would change is the road noise level and engine noise level both were louder than what I expected this car to have. I plan to replace tires soon with ultra high performance rubber so we'll see if that changes things. My only true complains are cosmetic trims that don't stand up well against corrosion for example two the chrome trims on the roof tarnish and need special treatment but they are metalized plastic which there are no products to clean them. next is the aluminum maxima trim in the door openings that corrodes over time esp. after winters. Poor choice in material for those two areas. The car is very sporty and I drive it nice and hard without issue."

"This is my second maxima, i had a 95 GXE, which never gave me a single problem until 400,000KM, so i decided to reward nissan again with my purchase of an 07 maxima. I bought it used with 52,000 miles on it. I got the SL 3.5L with every single avail option that include: bose 8 speaker amplified, and 2 6X9 amplified bose subs, bi-xenons, fog, sunroof, tilt-telescopic wheel, heated seats AND steering wheel that goes up to 30 degrees Celsius in the winter, dual-climate, navigation system with thousands of points of interest, rear sonar, power folding mirrors, intelligent key, smart-entry, auto dimming side mirrors and mirror, the list goes on and on and on... I have had this car for some time now without a single problem, I tinted the windows, and connected a 10" alpine sub to the factory Bose system and it sounds amazing! Clean and Clear Bass without the whole car rattling! I enjoy everything about the car and it compares 1-1 with friends that own Lexus, BMW and Audi's but I only paid a fraction of the price for the car and of course half the car insurance that they pay! The CVT is okay, not as sporty as other transmissions but I did not buy this because i wanted a sports car, I wanted a luxury cruiser. If you have a light foot, you will get 500-600 km out of a tank. With a heavy foot on the gas, you are lucky to get 350km out of a tank! What I love is the comfort of the seats, the interior quality, the tons of features and the overall quality of the ride and looks that i get! Things that I am not big about are: -the massive turning radius - the fact that I am a good driver and still need at least 2 re-adjustments to get into parking spots -the control for the navigation system when entering an address (this could have really been improved!) There are so many cool features however such as rear sonar, and the GPS actually shows you logos of the gas stations that you are approaching instead of just a generic gas station symbol. Overall, if you are not looking for a sports car, there is really no way you can go wrong with a purchase like this! It is a fraction of the price of German competitors, a far superior build over KIAs and Hyundai's (haha, makes me laugh) and to me (personal opinion) a more trusted name than Dodge, or Chrysler, etc. Gas mileage will get ya, but I figure any full size car with this type of engine would be similar! This is my second out of many many maximas to come, GREAT car overall, and I never had a single problem with my first or second one. (1995, or the 07) BUY THE MAXIMA, YOU WONT BE DISSAPOINTED!"

"From new the security / auto lock system was overactive, the car would lock itself up anytime and anywhere. Numerous trips to two different dealers didn't solve the problem. At 52,000 miles the ABS system had to be repaired at a cost of over $1,000.00. A few months later another $400.00 for a fuel system vent repair. After that the check engine light continued to come on sporadically. I intended to keep the car longer but at 64,000 miles I'd had enough & traded it off."

"In the hunt for a great ued car after having a SUV for over 10 years was a challenge. I needed a car with enough room for carpooling kids yet stylish enough to enjoy an evening with my significant other. Nissan Maxima was able to do both. I truly enjoy the way it rides and handles on the road. The 2 biggest issues I have (which are minor) - 1. the light for the interior rear of the car is all the way in the back near the back window. You can only reach it if you are sitting in the back. What use is that if you are looking for something behind your seats (???) 2. The turning suspension has a wide angle. In order to turn into a parking space or such, you must plan accordingly or take at least 2 attempts before getting into the space. Otherwise great decision I made."

"I have the base model. No bells and whistles because I have kids (cloth, no navigation, etc). Performs like a stick shift race car, but the gas on this thing is ridiculous! The manual "suggests" premium. I tried using regualr gas and got a ticking noise, so that kind of makes you do what you have to to prevent ruining your car. The keyfob sensor is a nice touch, especially when your hands are full, but a spare is over $100! I bought this car Sept 2010 and I'm really considering something else. I have always been a Maxima fan, but this 2007 model didnt do it for me."
