It’s a sexy car. Well designed

This car met My expectations. I am Impressed with the condition of the car’s interior. To me the body style has not changed much 2020 except tail pipes. The sunroof is what I was looking for that I had to have!!

Failed Power Control Module & Car is Falling Apart

I purchased my 2016 Nissan Maxima new in 2016. By 2017, my front fender (Right side of windshield) had been ripped off by the wind. By 2018, my power control module failed. 43,000 miles and not covered under warranty. Cost = $4,700. I now listen to Bluetooth in my somewhat new vehicle. Today, my rear fender fell off (design flaw that Nissan dealerships are well aware of). How does a part of the car fall off? Both rear fenders have already been replaced. Now they want $225 to replace each one. THE CAR IS FALLING APART. This was my third Nissan family purchase in 4 years. NEVER AGAIN. Also, Nissan did not respond to my email, phone call, so I am officially filing a complaint and review. They are a complete joke. Buyer beware.

Sporty, yet luxurious. Love it!

Overall fantastic vehicle. Very roomy and well-appointed on the inside, gorgeous and sexy on the outside, and a race car under the hood! I love fast, responsive cars but have a professional job where I often need to host clients or colleagues in my car. This car has it all!

Best car I have ever owned!!

Perfect in every way! This car is a great value with a true sports car feel and drive but at a sedan price... I would recommend this car to anyone...

Sexiest Car Ever!

I own the Platinum in Black. Always wanted a Maxima. This car is fun to drive, sleek & sexy looking, handles curves great. Need more headroom though. Love all the features and I couldn’t ask for anything more. I still can’t seem to understand the Moonroof button. All I want to do is close the moonroof but then the shade will close as well. But I don’t want the shade to close. All in all a wonderful designed car that is a joy to ride.

First Maxima

Absolutely everything I expected. My dad has owned several Nissan’s so I knew what to expect as far as performance handling and reliability, but the jump in quality from 2014-2016 is incredible, even for the basic S model. Very happy with it so far
