Used but New to me!

I’ve been having my eye on a Maxima for awhile now but that new sticker price just wouldn’t let me be great (or my budget). This make/model/year had everything I was looking for + (low miles, decent price). I even found the color I was looking for (color is usually on my “Want list” and I rarely have found the perfect car including color. I typically give in on color if the price is right for my budget. This time I checked off my wants and needs list! Nice looking, sleek, stylish car and drives just as good.

Nissan Maxima

My care is very nice and luxurious, the only thing I was unaware of is the car needed a SD cards in order to program your setting such as Bluetooth, navigation, your cell phone, radio stations etc.. and no one told me at the time of purchase, I took it back the next day and found all this out and they took care of it!

Drives great

Very beautiful interior. Drives great. Handle curves and turns very smoothly. Purchased the SL trim and it has nice extras. Live the double moonroof. The color white looks pearl and shines really nice at night. Overall, happy with car so far.

Pure luxury

Awesome vehicle. It meets and exceeds all my needs. I love it!! I owned a couple other Nissan vehicles in the past, but the Maxima Platinum is the most comfortable car I have ever been in.

Disappointed

Purchased a 2016 Maxima November 2015. One year later the console cover began to crack. I took it to the dealership service department, the service manager inspected it and seated “it’s wear and tear, we can’t do anything about it.” I also spoke with my salesman, he listened but did offer a suggestion. I called Nissan corporate, they stated “take it to your local dealership for a review by the service manager.” #willneverpurchaseanissanagain!

Hate it!!!

The car looks good & performs well. The interior is made very cheaply. I bought car brand new and interior looked very pretty. After 2 years headliner unraveled and was terrible. Very thin a cheap. Carpet very thin. Priced too high for the interior. Have no issues with the performance, but when paying 40k for a car the interior should not be the cheap. First time vacuumed the carpet it was was coming up. Awful & would not recommend. Very disappointed.

My favorite car ive had for a while

I like this car but cant say i love it yet. The problem with it is the engine the interior is awesome. The exterior looks cool. But im afraid a transmisson problem might occur and i read several problems with the valve body needing ti be replaced. Hoping doesnt happen to me.
