2017 Nissan Maxima consumer reviews

I owned my 2017 till last yr then traded it in on a new truck. I owned two other Maximas (1985,1988) & still own a Infiniti I30 (2000) my daughter now drives to college. The 1988 Maxima being far more superior in every way except appearance because man' the 2017 looks really sharp! But it ends right there as another owner here said, this cars nothing but lipstick on a pig! Period! Both my 1985 & 1988 Maximas seats felt just like you're setting in your home recliner (there long gone in this Max). The 1988 also handled like it was on rails, never drifted or hydroplaned unlike this Maxima that constantly does this once its out on highways/interstates. Absolutely Awful driving machine! (so is my Infiniti i30). Trust me, these being a 4dr Sports car was lost many yrs ago. My 1988 also rode like a dream even on cheapo tires & lousy road surfaces. Those made little difference in a 1988 Max, like the car simply smoothed everything out perfectly as you drove down the road, its mini recliners absorbed anything the tires/suspension misses. What a wonderful ride! Simply put, those 80's Maximas were very well tested/tuned "sports" cars for sure, not this one. They just forgot about all that testing & technology. How about her bullet proof V6 engine? With a few updates including more HP now for some reason (low grade parts) it needs oil monthly like my old Chevy when it reached higher miles. But this one only took 60k miles to reach the same oil burning issue, Nissan must think its our monthly payment reminder like GM? Sad, Nissan was the only real competitor to Toyota so wth Nissan took a top 10 best engine & created so many problems like burning oil, oil leaks, junk timing chains, trans, suspensions & no more Denso alt/starter that lasted a minimum of 150k vs -60k now days I'll just never know? Nissan has been my go too car for 40yrs, but last yr I bought another Toyota instead (4Runner) because its the only car maker thats continued their extremely high Quality Control standards. Now Im buying another Toyota for my wife. But who knows maybe Ill try a Nissan again in 40yrs? American Auto Worker, so I know all their quality control standards (very different levels) as I helped build all makes Made here in USA. Even Harley Davidson (Retired).

I bought 2017 Maxima in 2024...it is an awesome car looks sporty and is fast..great low and high end torque....I do use premium fuel as it recommends, note:I did purchase a warranty because I knew of some of the cars having cvt issues..so I took to Nissan they saw code recommended replacement of transmission with warranyi paid 200 dollars replaced...life is good so far 🙏🏾👍🏿

I think nissan should recall the paint a 2017 shouldn't be pealing the clear coat or paint. I have seen many with the same issues.

Im very satisfied with my stylish, clean low miles used car and the people are friendly. My son and I are very happy with our service and 2017 Nissan Maxima.

This is my 3rd maxima having owned a 2007, 2012 and now the 2017. My favorite for sure. Fast, stylish and comfortable. No complaints. Great gas mileage!

Purchased new 2017. A monster on the highway. Highly recommend. 94,000 miles and rolling. Very comfortable and roomy. Good trunk space. Lots of features come with this car.

So my wife wanted another car. Yeah she drove a Hyundai elentra a couple of years and a fusion before that etc. I've always liked Maximas but never thought of buying. So we head out to the dealer to take a look. Now we looked at these and other cars however, the curiosity about the maxima had us thinking "try it" . My wife and I test drove it and wow! The styling, the acceleration, the super comfortable leather...man! They brought a 2018 Honda accord ex and we told that salesperson to get rid of it! Never even tried to test drive it! Now I want to give her my roaring, powerful Silverado so I can drive that quiet, smooth, comfortable, powerful, excellent handling maxima sv!!

I own the 2017 Maxima SV. It’s black and I love how it looks. For a V6 I’m so impressed with the gas mileage! it gets 34 MPG on average which is so amazing. It’s a great upgrade from my Altima.

Having one of the best engines in the World! Pretty hard not to appreciate the refinement of the Maxima! Would highly recommend! One tour behind the wheel and I suspect you will understand

I love my 2017 Maxima Platinum in Black. Perfect car and after my lease was up I purchased the car. Performance, comfort, reliability, looks, sportiness and excellently designed interior with all the electronic bells and whistles are beyond expectation.s
