Dealers will not own up to a manufactor or assembl

All said and done I really like the car. However; before the warranty was up I took into dealer because a film was forming on the inside of the glass over speedometer. Dealer simply stated not our problem. So much for warranty.

So far so very very good

I’ve always loved the look of maximas. And the price point is great. Feels like a steal. Performance is great along with a full size luxury car. It’s early. But I love it and can’t quite find anything negative to say about it

Most fuel efficient car I’ve ever owned

This car met all of my expectations. It gets very good gas mileage. I especially like being able to have apple car play. I like the wheel package and all the great features. I would recommend this car to my friends and family.

Sweet!

I went from a BMW 535 GT to the Nissan Maxima Platinum, of course I was expecting a serious drop in comfort and performance but due to mounting maintenance cost, I simply couldn’t see the value in keeping the Beemer, this isn’t my first Maxima, I had a 2005 version a while back and it served me well but she wasn’t a very sporty experience. Now to this Car, three words... I Love it! Seats are very comfortable, acceleration at highway speeds is instant and highway MPG is outstanding! I mean cruising at 80-85 mph and getting 31.4 mpg is just ridiculous! My only gripe is I bought the top of the line Platinum edition at least I thought it was but there’s still options like the lighted kick plates, LED approach lights and interior lighting package which is the medallion package on top of the top of the line! Why Nissan? Slight gripe would be lack of AWD but I’m just being petty! This car is a 3 run Home Run, not quite a grand slam but I was only down by 2. #winning

Best Nissan Maxima model I have ever seen!

I love this car. Exterior & interior is so sporty looking. Power engine. Excellent pick up. Great car to drive. It speeds up very quickly.

Very reliable, poor resale

This is a great vehicle, I just would never buy one brand new again. You can get a 1 year old Maxima with less that 5,000 miles for more than 10k off MSRP. Love the interior styling and the performance. Only complaint is the depreciation.

Best car I've had by far

I LOVE the smoothness when I drive. Double sunroof, everything top of the line. Worth the $$$. My fav thing is EVERYTHING is at REACH. I can tell by how is designed their SAFETY IS PRIORITY
