      I'd buy the Altima because it drives pretty well, all the new safety features and has got AWD for the first time in years. The Altima does pretty well, but it's a bit noisy at high speeds and don't get me started on its reliability nor its CVT.

    Three years back I booked a Nissan Altima SL. Then randomly went to showroom next day and the sales guy offered me to test drive Nissan Maxima. After test drive I cancelled Altima and booked Maxima. The speed, acceleration and thrill of Maxima is something that made me prefer it over Altima.

    I have a 2020 Maxima SL with all the options available, sun roof with glass top, which I love, have leather seats and all the options that you can get with this model. I find that it has more power than I thought and can really go when I step on the gas. I have squealed the wheels without really trying. Love this car, handles great and is a really smooth ride. II am not sure I like a spoiler on the Altima, why have one, I am not wanting a race car. It is so much fun to drive and I can pass anyone I want, in fact recently passed an Acura going up hill and really made the guy mad as much as he tried he never caught up with me. So I guess it comes down to what you want and what you like.

    Well I certainly took a good hard look at both the 2019 Altima and the 2019 Maxima both up at the top Platinum trim. I did like the Maxima a beautiful sedan indeed but it was way more than was practical for our driving needs.
    I bought the 2019 Altima Platinum ,, it was the showroom model, drop dead gorgeous it was in Sunset Drift metallic paint. This Altima was loaded, outstanding built in safety that really impressed. The Altima package came with a Winter Package, four Firestone snow tire mounted on nice alloys, the winter tires were already installed. The regular tires were Hankook 19" GT on very sharp alloys.
    For the type of driving I did I felt that the 2.5 engine was more that sufficient ( which it certainly is ) and with having all wheel drive available only on the Altima that was what sold me.
    Yes the Maxima was a lovely sedan but there was a $9979.00 ( Can. ) price difference and without question the Altima gave us a much bigger bang for the buck.

To catch up and overtake the Altima's new features. We came in at a good time. The Sr has a "manual transmission" option (shift paddles) and with that IF you know how, can be quite powerful on the low end.

    I had the 19 Altima Platinum for 3 months and dumped it. I used to have a 2015 Altima and loved that car. The problems with the new designed Altima are many. The seats are about 2 inches narrower than the prior generation, so they are not as comfortable as it always feels like you are sitting on the edges of the seat. The engine/transmission noise is louder in the new Altima, and not in a good way. The new Altima had so many creaks and rattles and it drove me nuts. My older Altima was so quiet on the road. The CVT in the new Altima seems to 'shift' through every simulated gear before you even hit 30 MPH. Also, when easing back on the accelerator to try and coast on the highway for the best fuel economy was impossible. The car would slow down immediately so I had to keep pressure on the pedal to maintain speed which affected MPG. I easily obtained over 40 MPG on the highway with my 15 Altima, but impossible with the new Altima. It was a big disappointment because I really tried to like the vehicle. I traded it for a 19 Rogue SL and so much happier. I also drove a '16 Maxima for 2 1/2 years and although I had zero issues with the CVT, the CVT was the worst part of the experience. The Maxima would be so much better with a 6-speed manual, or even a real automatic transmission. Same goes for the Altima.

    I think I prefer the interior of the Altima, to be honest. People equate "business" of the dash with style, but I think the interior of the Altima is both practical *and* minimalist, gives it a very modern look. It doesn't look like a damn spaceship control center with a million buttons. The climate control is distinctly separate from the entertainment, and everything else is up above. But I guess the real deciding factor would be - What *can't* the Altima do with its minimalist design that the Maxima can with all its controls? If the answer is none, then why bother with 100 buttons.

    There is a video where the narrator tackles the dicey issue why the Nissan brand has come upon hard times in the automotive world for a number of reasons, but dwelling mostly (no Ghosn discussion which frankly is huge) the large drop in yearly sales for all nameplates under the brand. I own a '13 Maxima SV...an okay car for the era back then. The styling is actually cleaner and less offensive or radical than either of these units, and I like it better. As one advances thru their senior years, the things that turned them on car-wise are out the window. Exhaust noise, acceleration, sharp looks out and in, sound system quality, etc. are all mostly irrelevant, in fact even annoying. It's the little things about the car, the engine noise, artificial exhaust note, cabin road noise at speed, the lack of grip handles in the headliner panel at all 4 points, bad reflection points on the front windshield from the dash design, the idiosyncrasies of the CVT, the high compression V6 with premium unleaded mandate, etc. etc. that are wearing and "driving" me into looking at other brands and nameplates for an upgrade/replacement.....Cadillac, Jaguar, Mercedes, Lincoln. We're after smooth, quiet performance with maximum interior comfort...could care less about Bluetooth, Apple Car Play, the size and intuitability of the data interface screen, etc. Yes, interior materials and feel make a difference. Yes, the new Altima seats are supposed to be great, and that is a big plus to me.....but a 4 cylinder powerplant as the only option. Toyota kept the V6. Mazda, Honda and Nissan are giving up on it; that's unfortunate.....4-bangers are harsh, have higher maintenance needs, run hotter, and make more noise especially when stressed with A/C other accessory usage in warm weather. Whether this guy cares to admit or not, the big picture here is that Nissan has taken a mostly big step backward by going along with its automotive peers...for a big segment of its customer base. Maybe they just ought to make trucks, jeeps and station wagons like the other companies for the new, younger car buyer....LOL

    Listen to what he said… go to 1:56 he says, “ our Nissan msrp $35,098 and our maxima msrp for $45,900.” I thought they both were Nissan? Lol :P and yea maybe should have waited to make this review when he didn’t have a stuffy nose. He is cute though haha :P

    Great presentation. The Maxima seems redundant now. They should just offer the Altima with the option of the v6

      thanks so much for watching and commenting my friend. Here in Canada they got rid of the V6 now only a 4 banger is offered in the altima

    The Altima does not come close to the Maxima in styles and performance. Nice car but different level.
