"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."

"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."

"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."

"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"

"I love my 2011 Nissan Maxima SV w/luxury package! It?s an alluring combination of luxury, sportiness, and value. It handles great and power delivery is very smooth. It has the feel of a car costing thousands more. The CVT takes a little to get use too, but by no means does it comprise the driving experience."

"I bought a 2011 Maxima SV with Premium and Tech package last week, replacing my single owner 1998 Maxima SE 5 speed manual. Handling: Excellent I agree with the site's review that this is a well set up ride, much more tight and confidence inspiring than my 98 SE. CVT: In automatic D or DS mode this is going to take some getting used to. D mode is a dog and I'm sure I'll never drive it in that mode. The drop in rpm's with steady gas applied is just odd. The Manual mode is quick shifting through the fake gears and once I get through the break in period I'm sure I'll be driving mainly in manual mode or DS automatic. Brakes: Disappointing pedal feel, these brakes don't respond a quickly or strongly as my 12 year old Maxima. Again I may just need to get used to this but I think if I could test it, the 60-0 distance would be just average. Comfort: Honestly what I'd expect in a modern vehicle. I like that there are a number of knobs and switches versus everything being touch screen. The speaker set up makes everything sound like it is coming from the top center of the dash until it get above 1/3 volume. Back Seat: seems pretty tight for my 4 and 7 year olds with Daddy at 6'3" comfortably in the drivers seat. Lots of feet marks already on the seat backs. This wasn't an issue in the 98 Maxima. 2 adults maybe be pretty uncomfortable in this back seat. Styling: It's hot, way better then a TL or SHO. Trying to decide if I want to get a spoiler. Dealer: Post purchase the sales manager gave me a significant amount of grief when I found a 2 inch crack in the bottom of the bumper cover while having not driven it more than a day. No paint chips or scrapes, just a stress fracture, I probably missed this when I picked it up President's Day evening. The issue is now in the service manager's and owner's hands. Recommending to a friend: Tough one, not sure yet, I need a few weeks once I'm beyond the break-in period to really tell. The torque, styling and firm ride sold me along with my proximity to the dealership. The brakes, dealer post sale service, and CVT are still open issues."

"I have researched and test drove the competiton before leasing the Maxima. The closest competitor is the Acura TL. But I like the styling of the Maxima better. The Maxima also has a slightly more powerful engine. I found the Maxima to be more fun to drive and the lease price was around 100 bucks cheaper a month. Car handles great and some of the technology is superior to evern higher end cars like BMW 5 series and Mercedes E-class. The Maxima engine is also more powerful than the aforemetioned entry models ( BMW 528 and Mercedes E 350). The Maxima is similar to the much more expensive Infiniti M . Buy the Maxima or Lease it like me. You wont regret it."
