I've owned many new Maximas!

This is a nice vehicle with some exceptions. The Bluetooth doesn't work and I've been to the shop twice and have an open case with nissan America. The seat is too low and it's difficult in and out. The left side of the seat is too built up and it WILL wear out. It's much lighter than previous maximas and drives like an Altima. Truthfully, I'm a bit disappointed!

Great car to own if you dont have a family

This new version of Maxima since 2016 is absolutely phenomenal. The exterior design is fashion and stylish, which is a good fit for you if you are young or you think you are young. The interior, on the other hand, makes you feel you are on a lexus or infiniti or even better than that. I've done a few of test drives on it. I wish I can buy it now, but my Jetta is working just fine. Maybe in the future I will buy it. When I test drive it, I found that Nissan is not very wise in terms of creating space. It feels like a compact or midsize car inside. Cargo space? Not even close to my Jetta. However, I found some of the cool features and soft touching of the inside of the car really attractive. Really a shock to see a 360 camera and that you can actually see the front by hitting the 'camera button. Even though as a sports car, the drive has a bad view of the front, with such features it is not hard to move the maxima into and out of any garage. Overall, Maxima is a great four door sports sedan based on its price.

Very sharp car!

I love the styling of the Maxima. I've only owned it for 3 weeks so It's hard to rate the reliability. I own the platinum model and the seats are the most comfortable I've ever experienced in a car. It has plenty of power with it's 300 HP engine. Love the panoramic roof and all the safety features(to many to mention). The bose premium stereo is awesome! I did a lot of home work before I bought this car and so far it's living up to my expectations.

Very nice ride.

I was looking for a smaller vehicle. The ride was excellent. Had lots of features. It was white which I like but had some black trim along with black side view mirrors. Didn't like that.
