Four door sports car 300 hp

Great car, plenty of leg and head room in front. Not so much in back. Interior beautifully structured, Bose audio system sounds wonderful, 300 hp is a quite beast, handle well for a four door. 22/28

Only owned it for a week, but loving every minute!

I love the Platinum trim package of this vehicle that includes two programmable driver settings and the double sun roof with plenty of headroom. The only complaint is my wife wishes the front passenger seat had a height adjustment setting. She is 5-4 and feels a bit like a little kid trying to see over the dash & hood.

sports sedan

the cvt transmission is great for the every day use allowing that easy switch to sport mode when aggression is needed. the design looks sculpted and yet fierce. I currently own the platinum that comes with a panoramic moon roof and 360 deg viewing cameras which puts this car above the rest. I would definitely recommend to others.

Beautiful Car, room for minor improvements

It's a sexy car design, I currently own the S submodel and the only things I don't like about the car is, the front seats are small, it's made for small people or one's without hips or butts. Lol also the sound system kind of sucks, I will have to add my own soon. As far as everything else I love the headlights and front end design. It's an all around beautiful car, I love the nissian connect, i just don't like that you cant take turns hooking it up from you or your spouses phone. Only 1 owner can hook up to it and since I hooked up 1st before I knew this, when my spouse drives the car she can't use the connect. Now that was a dumb move on Nissian's part. This is my 1st Nissian ever. I have always been a chevy & toyota driver. I've owned 65 cars in 40 yrs and I bought this one over the Acura I was looking to purchase because the Acura was so plain jane. It didn't look nearly as nice as the maxima, it was beautiful exterior but as for the interior the options sucked. Also I put them side by side and asked people walking by which would u choose? I got more towards my maxima. So now I own it and really am enjoying the drive & I hate driving in Louisiana. I'm from Chicago & Texas where people actually earn their license, but in Louisiana even if you fail the test you still get a driver's license. But My Maxima makes it better for me, Thanks Nissian so far so good!

The 4DSC has returned

I shopped all of the popular choices in the Class. Cadenza, Fusion, Accord et cetera . I chose the Maxima because of the driving feel. The style gets many compliments. Average MPG is 28 in very spirited driving. Powerful with a great interior.
