Best car I’ve ever owned !
This car is everything I could want or need in a car. It has plenty of leg room in the front and back ! It has multiple charging ports !

No buyer's remorse
I absolutely love my Maxima. It has a great combination of luxury, comfort, a sporty design. I have owned the car for over 6 years and never once experienced buyer's remorse or any regret for buying the vehicle. I would highly recommend.
