Review: Can The 2018 Nissan Maxima Platinum Be a Luxury Sports Sedan?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- The Nissan Maxima can potentially play the role of luxury car, sports car, family sedan, or all three....depending on what you like. This particular 2018 Nissan Maxima Platinum Edition comes fully loaded and has a 300 HP engine with good driving dynamics. My least favorite thing was the CVT because it takes away some fun from the car but the "sport" button helped by enhancing the engine note and making it more responsive. Overall, this 2018 Maxima was very comfortable, quiet, aggressive looking, and pretty much exactly what most sedan buyers would want. It's so close in size to the Altima which makes it unique and much smaller than competitors like the Chevy Impala, Toyota Avalon, and more. If ou really want something sport, go with the Maxima SR Midnight model because it's got a sportier suspension and looks great. Stick around till the end to watch the Maxima test drive and let me know what you think!

Thanks for watching! The Maxima offers a lot in terms of features, power, and comfort. It could fit the needs of a lot of sedan shoppers. I’d like to see a heads up display and traditional transmission but can’t complain much! Let me know what you think!
The headlights look very cheap.
disappointed.
Cost Reduction.
zpdlvmxkdns yeah pretty basic looking compared to the new looking headlights on other models
Compared to other competitive models
Cost reduction is very severe.
Compared to the price competition model in interior materials
There are too many cheap materials. Cost reduction is too much.
Its a fantastic car and your review is amazing
Thank you very much!
This car is so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes...I have an older Nissan Maxima and I never want another type of car Nissan has my heart 💜
That’s awesome! Glad to hear it and thanks for sharing that 👍
I totaled my 2010 Maxima a week ago and I'm devastated. She was my baby. But I'm moving up to this pretty beast! I'll never drive anything but a Maxima!
I just picked one up. Traded in a 2015 Altima 3.5 SL....I'm in love with it. Most comfortable Nissan I've owned. Been driving Nissan for over 30 yrs.
That’s awesome! For sure it’s super comfy! Glad to hear you’re enjoying it and I hope that continues! 😁👍
@@PrimeAutotainment but the 2019 altima is even more comfortable lol.
I have a 2017 with thirty thousand miles. I love this car, plenty of room, backup camera, loaded, V6 fast as hell!! 300 horsepower, & does not drink gas. Silver/tinted windows
Dnt..change.. ar...make..anymore.. virst.. uy...
I drove one of these as a rental from Louisiana to Houston Tx due to my job. It was so nice that I came to RUclips to look it up. This may be my next car. The Technology and comfort advances in these new cars these days are growing by leaps and bonds.
Very cool! You’re right cars are getting pretty advanced with some of the tech nowadays. Thanks for the input 👍
I plan to get this car real soon..my co worker has the maxima 2018 in black and she actually let me drive it home to get something I had left..mind you we work in Manhattan NYC and I live in Brooklyn NY..and she tossed the keys to me and said go home had get what you need...I tell you this car feels like a Mercedes level car...I loved it so much i literally felt depressed when i had to give her keys back...lol.
But I'm definitely getting the platinum 2018 in white.
That’s awesome! Haha I know what you mean about giving the keys back. You’ll love it. Thanks for sharing that with me and enjoy your car when you get it 👍
Aurora Skywalker Bro for $35,000 you could buy a real Mercedes.
@@bloodshed3523 I'm well aware of that...I'm not interested in getting a Mercedes...And I'm a ma'am thank you. Not a Bro.
@@auroraskywalker4475 The only issue is the pricing. For $35k, you could do a lot better. Maybe not in terms of interior tech (which isn't massive because you can use your phone to do a lot of this stuff), but in terms of quality, performance, and comfort. Have a look at a used Audi A8 as an example.
@@PaneledPear I like the maxima and hate Audi!!!...I'm not an Audi fan...I like what I like and it's the maxima...thank you
I had a Máxima SV rental for about a week. It's an excellent drive with so many handy features. It has a lot of horsepower and drives so smooth. Definitely a secret luxury car.
That’s right! It’s very well rounded! Thanks for watching 👍
I've had one of each generation maxima. This gen by far is the best. This car is a beast and will put a grin on your face each time you rip it. Ice even taken mine to a local road course and joined the track club. Almost a 3 mile track with lots of turns left and right ,a long straight away and i managed to keep my Max right up the rear end of a vette, believe he said it was a 2018 vette. The guy could not believe a Max held on to a vette. Kinda surprised me some as well, but made me smile. Gotta love this car. And for the money, omg
Yeah have had a lot of fun beating some Camaros and challengers in street light races
Some people dismiss this car because it has a CVT. I have a 2017.5 Maxima. I have about 10,000 miles on it so far. Absolutely NO complaints with performance at all. In the past I have owned a Mustang GT and SVT Cobra, BMW 323ci, all with manual tranny. My auto tranny’s have been Jaguar XJ12, Corvette, Cadillac CTS, and several SUVs. This is a very fun daily driver, and when I give it the beans it flies. If you drive in Sport mode and weren’t aware that the car is a CVT, you wouldn’t know. The only thing I’ve done besides tinting the windows is a muffler delete. It gives it a nice rumble at idle and under acceleration but is very quiet when cruising. For the price, it is just an awesome car. I’ve been averaging 27mpg in equal mixed driving. I do believe it would be better if I would keep my highway speeds below 75mph. My best mpg ever is 34.1mpg on 87 octane.
Glad to hear it Mr. C and thanks for sharing!
Mr. C 2014 maxima and bought two years ago with 9k on it. Almost 60k now and have done NOTHING to this thing. Other than a brake flush and tire rotation and oil changes; NOTHING. Tires still have quite a bit of tread left too. Best mpg I’ve gotten was 29.9 on regular 87 octane and that’s even driving it hard on occasion. I have even hit pot holes with these 19s and thought for sure something would happen but this car still drives straight as an arrow.
I am sure that it is a good car. Yet no one buys it. I wonder if a lack of a manual transmission or standard automatic might have something to do with that. I wonder if maybe front wheel drive might have something to do with that. I wonder if the lack of 4 wheel drive might have something to do with that. Well all that wondering has a answer and that answer is provided buy Nissan itself. Nissan's understanding of these muses of mine is the Q70.
I live in the Northeast, where we have a higher percentage of leases vs purchase. But I believe their pricing on purchase and lease is definitely competitive with the vehicles they claim are direct competitors: Chevy Impala and Toyota Avalon.
I think part of the problem with "No one buying it" is it's exclusive to the USA. So most of the time there is not a lot of hype. But for a $35-40k car new or $25-28 one year old they are worth the money for what you get. If they add an all wheel drive and a little more HP I'm buying another one! I may even still because it is such a good car.
Ummm...is it just me, but I REALLY LOVE the CTV in this car😂😂😂😂 it's been my favorite car!
your a very weird person
Not just you. The CVT in the maxima is very different from others. It really feels nice
My 2012 was a dime she got hit by a buck :(
BUT the maxima is a car that once you buy you’ll never wanna change, welcome home 8th gen maxi
The new Maxima is pretty sweet! I'm a Toyota guy and love the new Avalon, but still a big fan of what Nissan has done on the Maxima! Great video!'
Thanks Chris! It really is. The new Avalon is pretty awesome too and is a big transformation over the last one. Thanks for watching and for commenting!
Prime Autotainment thank you!
I love my nissan maxima, same year as this video, same color, pearl white, i keep it will maintained, and 3 times a year i get it fully detailed, I just love it. When I drive it, it feels just like the day I drove it off the lot. Just love it more and more. Get this baby on a interstate, it is incredible.
I have a 2017 Nissan Platinum I have no complaints, this cars phenomenal they say the CVT is a problem the transmission has not given me any problems whatsoever and I have owned 3 Maximus
That’s awesome, good to hear it! I hope it continues to be a great car for you
I’m getting mine this week. Long time coming 7k on it but it’s a nice one. ♥️
I have a 2016 Maxima Platinum. 2 and half years and 65,000 miles later I still love the car.
Germaxicus that’s awesome! I love hearing that 👍
Just got this baby a week ago, an amazing ❤️ car
Glad to hear it!
I’m thinking of respraying my silver 2018 maxima to white, what you think ?
@@Javiertorres06 go for it !!! may do black and white
Congratsss I wish I had one
Hey, im planning to buy one soon enough. I wanted to ask though. Has it been giving you any problems at all? Motor, screen, transmission, sound system, electronics? I seen online everyone hates on nissan but they look so nice.
Bought that car on Amazon 4 days ago , waiting for the mailman to deposit it in my mailbox
😂
im Sure the Lego version u got looks nice.
I got a 2010 Maxima, I’m 18 and it’s my first car, and I’ll own a Nissan for probably the rest of my life, it’s much faster than your average car, obviously it’s not a M4 or any higher priced cars, but it is so much fun, and Altimas have no chance at a red light 😏
Very nice, you got a sweet first car!
lucky your parents bought it for you
Cvt and fun shouldn’t be in the same sentence lol
Um the V6 Altima is actually faster from a stop.
antoniobolgnameyerwe obviously because it’s lighter
I just bought this baby last Sunday in this same color in the Platinum trim. Man I love this car. This bad boy is a rocket too.
Getting my 2018 Maxima SR midnight edition this Wednesday. This will be my second Maxima and to be honest it was really hard to let go of my 2012. Overall this will be my fourth Nissan (Pathfinder,Armada and Maxima) and I have never had one single problem,issue,squeak or a rattle. I’m sorry,I’m lying. I had a recall for an airbag sensor in my Armada. Free of charge fix that took about 40 minutes of my time. Not bad for the last 13 years of owning Nissans.
No kidding, that’s great to hear! Thanks for sharing and enjoy your new Maxima!
im with you bro..I also Have a 2012 Maxima that I really love..but i'm have to let it go for the newer model
How's your 2018 Maxima holding up so far? I'm considering buying a Maxima too. I'm torn out between the SR Midnight and the Platinum. I can't decide!
Great review man. I liked that you went into all the details of the interior rather than just skipping through it. Keep it up!
Hey Sergio I appreciate the feedback, thanks a lot and thanks for watching!
Just started researching cars, started with Nissan because its the closest dealer to my house. Saw this car (black with spoiler) and fell in love. Gonna test drive tomorrow!
Very cool...I don’t think it will disappoint. Have fun!
@@PrimeAutotainment Yeah I got it. Leased just because it was cheaper monthly. I still have the option to buy later. Looks and feels premium. I looked at an Altima too and I was like meh. I just need to get used to the steering assist (forgot what it was called), and all the new gadgetry. And I need to cancel all black Friday shopping plans lol. Hopefully worth it.
So awesome...good choice with the Maxima. It has more soul and is nice overall than the Altima. That tech stuff takes a little getting used to but won’t take long. Thanks for sharing and enjoy it!
I have this car for 2 years and I absolutely love it. Great video!
I drive the 2017 Maxima Platinum and it drives like a champion. I love the car 👍🏼
That’s awesome, it’s a nice ride!
Is yours cream seats or black? Just got mine with cream seats and the contrast colors on interior Is sick.
I have a ‘16 Max platinum. Love it.
It’s pretty much identical to this car.
My 5th Maxima
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing and I hope you continue to enjoy it!
I just got my 2018 Platinum and I love it.
Very nice! Glad to hear it 👍
How's your Maxima holding up so far? I'm considering buying a 2018 Maxima Platinum as well.
Hello there! My husband just purchased this car for me last week (gun metal color) and we absolutely love it! It has so many features that we're both learning! I love the way it looks, the way the leather seats feel; steering wheel and so many other things! I haven't owned a car with all of the bells and whistles such as this. Your review is wonderful and I have learned quite a few things. I've subscribed to your page too! :-) Keep up the great work!
That’s so awesome...it’s definitely got a lot to like about it! Thanks for the sub and kind words 😁. I hope you continue to enjoy your new ride!
That’s the color I have love it ♥️♥️💃🏿
Do you still have it?
@@texan903 yes I do!
@@leshawnspruiell8196 Maximas have always been one of my favorite cars. In 2019, when I moved back stateside, I was window shopping at a Nissan dealership one Saturday morning and ended up leaving the same evening with a 2018 Altima SR. While it's a good looking, reliable, comfortable, efficient car for commuting and highway cruising, it lacks some features I would've shopped for in a vehicle had I been in the market. I would've definitely gone for a Maxima had I been thinking. It's awesome you still have your Maxima!
A few weeks ago I bought a 2018 Nissan Maxima Midnight RS. They're drop dead gorgeous inside and out, and I've never loved driving a car more than this one.
You do excellent car reviews, thanks. Also, I appreciate that you don’t add blaring music, great job.
Thank you very much, I truly appreciate hearing that.
At 81 I have seen lot of car reviews. I own an 2019 Max SL and my wife owns a 2020 Versa SV. We have leased and owned a mess of Nissan cars. It is refreshing to see a young person demonstrate an unbiased car revue. We have leased 9 Maximas over the years and never had any issue with the quality of that model from Nissan. We have leased and owned Versas, Altimas, Sentras and older models. Nissan Motors always satisfied me.
This car has the most beautiful design, it looks aggressive, beautiful and strong at the same time.
Man I love my 2016 Maxima. Such a badass car!
I love my 2017 nissan maxima platinum. Glad I got a maxima it’s my first car.
I have one and I’m in love with my Maxima.not only it has everything those over priced Mercedes and bmw has.it has power overall I’m very happy with my car
I’m glad to hear it, Cliff! Thanks for sharing that!
Jesus Christ this car is literally one of the best I've ever seen in my life wow 😍😍😍
A family member owns this and I drive it from time to time. I did not know it was a CVT nor has it even felt like it. Wow.
Yeah it does a good job! Simulated shifts without the jerkiness. A lot of people complain about it but it drives well. Thanks for sharing!
2022 with 34,000 miles (bought it in 2023 with 25,000). I like a car that actually reacts when you put your foot into a bit 😊
I am in love with this car! can't wait until I build my credit! Pay off my car, and outright get this car 🤩
Excellent video. Your video answered many questions I had about this awesome vehicle.
Thanks, Tim! I’m happy to hear that, thanks for letting me know!
Just bought 2017 loaded platinum with premium wheel package top of line maxima I love it !!!
That’s awesome!
I love how Nissan still keeps buttons for info system. I feel like buttons are easier, simpler, and safer to use plus look nice.
I Have 2017 Maxima SV, It's so Fast.... Love it
John Sorrentino that’s awesome, happy to hear it!
I purchased the 2018 SL and installed OEM rear spoiler and tinted all windows = 1 sharp looking car. I am happy with it and you don't see a lot of these cars on the road. Where the trim is located, in the dark, light illuminates from under the trim which is pretty awesome. I don't have wood trim (which I don't like in this vehicle), electric steering wheel adjustment (mine is manual), no Reverse tilt mirrors (that I am aware because never gave it a thought but will check it out), no rear auto shade, no SOS button (which I like not having this tracker), I have heated seats not cold/hot, and my seat stitching is not quilted but is sporty and beautiful nonetheless. I made a good choice in purchasing this vehicle and even after driving it off the lot it held its value because of the good deal I negotiated. BTW - never reve the engine unless its under load. LOL! Compared to my previous vehicle, the tork steer is easy, no jumping around at all. Good review.
Awesome to hear, Mary! Sounds like you got yourself a nice car and those features are what I would go for too. Thanks for sharing and I hope you continue to enjoy it!
Love my 2017 platinum maxima!!!
Love this car. I’ve leased Maxima since 1999 so I’ve had every body style at least once and the last one 09, 12, and 14. I was happy with 2p1r till I saw the 2017 Platinum. It has everything I think I’ll ever need, mirrors, warning tones, intelligent cruise control, Apple Car Play so I made the commitment to buy. 2018 doesn’t look to have made any changes. Seats are so comfortable, driving is a dream. My favorite car ever!
Awesome and glad to hear it! It definitely seemed like an easy car to live with and yes, those seats were great. Thanks for sharing!
I have a 2014 sport with the 19” grey wheels and love it. I actually like that design better. Now I like this newer interior better but it’s not that much different. I love Maxima’s. Tons of lower get good gas mileage. Can’t go wrong with one. Thanks for the review.
Very cool, I think that design looks good as well. Thanks for watching!
Just like I said. My sv have all of that. The design of the old one looks more mean. The 2014 just like mine have all that.
It’s funny how everyone with an older design always says it’s better, nicer and more aggressive than the new one.
I’ve been guilty of it too.
I've driven these. They are fast!
😱 OMG I sat in this car here in NYC. I love the Maxima SR
😍😍😍😍. I’m getting this car in addition to my Murano
Just got mines 🔥 love everything about it
I got a 2011 maxima sv with 65k on it, I love it, I got it a year ago. And I’m 99% sure that I’ll be driving it until it’s done lol
That’s fantastic. Glad you love it and hopefully it’s a great car for you as long as you got it!
I'm mercedes-benz driver for years , but i think to buy that car!
It’s actually a surprisingly nice car
I had this as a rental and I loved it to the point where I almost bought it as my next car but I couldn't wrap my head around the higher price tag. I ended up going with a 2018 Honda Accord EX which ended up being almost 6K less than the comparable Maxima trim and I found the Accord to have more features.
One thing the Maxima did amazing with was road noise... I've never been in such a quiet cabin.
I know what you mean there. The new accord EX is a great value for sure. Thanks for watching/commenting. Enjoy your Accord!
I love my Maxima! It is very comfortable on long drives.
Dima K glad to hear it! I know I was really comfortable I. The short time that I had it
My mother has a silver platinum. Love it. Just concerned about the CVT transmission for future reliability.
Awesome! Hopefully their CVT problems are in the past. They’ve been making the CVT long enough you would hope it would be perfected by now...hope it does well for her!
This is my 7th Maxima since ‘99, 2017 Platinum black and this is the best body style yet, but not as roomy as past models. Seats are so comfortable I literally drove from Queens,NYC to Dover Delaware without a stop and I hardly moved.
One alarming problem has arisen: the Check Engine light keeps coming on. We’ve brought it in twice to Koeppel Nissan for two weeks at a time and they still aren’t sure what was wrong. 🤞🏽it won’t happen again. Other than that it’s perfect.
Those seats are seriously awesome, I loved them too! Bummer to hear about the light but like you said, hopefully nothing happens again! Thanks for sharing and glad to hear you like it!
Keith sista same here, u owned 5 Maxima's ,2 84s ,1 87,1 96&1 04
I’ll be headed to Rockwall soon!!! Thanks for this review!!!!
Thanks for watching. The guy I knew at that place isn’t there anymore so idk what they’re like 🤷🏻♂️
😱 OMG it sounds like a cougar. I love this car .my birthday was April 25th and I am still available for this car as a birthday present
Haha happy late birthday man, I’d buy it for you if I could!
I have the sv model doesnt have all thise feature but itsstill loaded and confortable i love it i wish they offer a manual trans i love those seats and wood trims
Yeah man those seats are great...comfortable seats are always appreciated. SV is still a nice car. I wish they offered a manual too...thanks for the input and watching!
Prime Autotainment also nissan should put more power up to 320 hp
That would be fun! They probably could, just at the expense of less MPG, but still fun 😁
Leonardo Valladares so do I would love to trade it for an RS
@@PrimeAutotainment
What are your thoughts on the equipment options on the 18 Maxima, SV?
Love the design this year👌👌👌🙏🏽
I have this exact same car. I love it! Gonna get another 2021 just cause I love it so much.
I feel proud as a maxima owner
Big and stylish sedan
I like it
rain scenting cool..... predictability is awesome
Before I read the comments I bet its a bunch of dollar store NASCAR drivers complaining about the CVT, yea on 2nd thought no need.
RonCp3 well my cvt went out at 49k and Nissan won’t cover it under warranty. I don’t dog my car I commute in it now I’m fucked over and driving a rental and loosing money
Cali Kev how do they not cover it under warranty? If you had 49k miles it would still be covered under the 5 year/60,000 mike Powertrain warranty. Is your car more than 5 years old?
Cali Kev Sucks to be you. Have 64k on my Honda Civic cvt. Smooth as butter. Honda and Toyota make the best cvts. Nissans are out sourced by Jatco. I don't care if they own a percentage of Jatco. Jatco cvts are garbage.
David S Honda Civic???? Really bro??? 🤦♂️
David S and if Nissan CVTs are garbage why are you then searching/watching a nissan review? You must work for Hondie 🤔
Yes and it's still the good used car I can buy.
Nice review and voice compliments it as well.
Thank you!
I want that MAXIMA!!!😍😍😍
It needs full LED turn signals and power folding mirrors, heads-up display to make it competitive with top line KIA offerings such as the Cadenza SXL.
Now that the Altima has been updated I’d expect the Maxima to get a nice upgrade soon hopefully
Got a cool design
My Wife has one and she loves it - Great Car
That’s awesome, thanks for sharing!
That's an awesome looking car!
I have a 2017 sr midnight edition. just changed the front grille to all black to remove the chrome. Car looks sooooo much better without the chrome all on the front. Love my car but now I'm scared that next fresh might not be as nice.
That’s sweet, good idea. I’m always a fan of replacing chrome with black. I guess we shall see, it’s always a little interesting seeing what changes
I wouldn't mind having an 8th Gen maxima as a new daily, but the Maxima hasn't been a 4DSC since 2003. No manual option, super bloaty, and heavy. You can't call the Maxima a 4DSC when it other cars would run circles around this.
For the next gen Maxima, I'd like to see:
AWD (if they don't add it, I'll be surprised considering the new Altima has it)
High HP output (The 3.5 V6 should be capable of 350+ HP)
6 SP manual for SR trim
traditional 10 speed automatic or DCT
less weight
Keep the aggressive styling but ditch the floating roof
Keep the layout of the interior and infotainment releatively the same
I liked your other comment about CVT/10 speed as well. I agree with you and definitely hope they add the AWD. Maybe they will get back into the 4DSC mentality again...that’d be nice. Especially since they have the Altima right below it in a lot of ways. Anyways thanks for the input and for watching!
Nice looking car and great review!
Thank you David!
I have a 2016 SL. Your review was pretty accurate. For 35K you just can't beat the options this car has. I will agree the seats are awesome . 10 hours straight with no problems at all and not getting out achy like some car I have owned. "Cough" 2013 Genesis coupe lol
Thanks! Yeah it really offers a lot. Nice overall car. Thanks for watching!
hint, wait till there is only one Maxima left on the lot, May to July of the next year is best, you get the best deal on the last ones. 2018 SV was $28,990 and it was on the lot for 11 months one week. Normal prices about $5K higher than that. I had two dealerships say "can't touch that price"
The CVT transmission is what stopped me from purchasing this car. Instead, I went with a Honda Accord V6 6-speed manual coupe and beefed up the suspension, rims/tires, and brake system. If Nissan, at least, offered the 7-speed automatic that they offer in their Infiniti line would be a serious game changer. I'm wondering whether Nissan will eventually offer the 3.0L twin turbo that's in their arsenal. Even the lower variant of that engine offers 300 horsepower and nearly 300 ft/lbs of torque.
Nice choice on that V6 Accord manual...it’s a dying breed!
I agree it would be great for them to incorporate Infiniti offerings, we shall see. Thanks for watching!
Shut up
Front wheel drive and a cvt....never call it a sports car. Still a very nice car.
Yep I get ya! I’m really hoping they offer AWD like ‘19 Altima...idk if they will change from the CVT anytime soon though....
Whats cvt ??
CVT stands for a continuously variable transmission. It doesn’t have actual step gears like 1st, 2nd etc. it’s a pulley like system that has pros and cons. It’s generally more efficient, helps keep the engine at good RPMs when you need power, but negatively it usually isn’t as fun to drive, can groan or feel weird at times. Gotta Drive one to know really. Lot of people won’t care or pay any attention but some hate it
Prime Autotainment they wouldn't do that to infiniti sadly enough, that's why there's no v6 awd altima or a turbo awd altima.
If you want a great blend go see the stinger!!! Way more value in a gt base!
You’re right, it’s a shame when the luxury brand limits the mainstream brand lol. Yes I’m excited to get my hands on a stinger! Thanks for watching!
I own a 2003 Maxima 6mt love it 😋😋 love this one two
That’s awesome, you got s good one! And you’re right about CVTs. They’re efficient and quick!
Just GOT MINE THESE HERE COVID YEAR!! WHITE FAST SLEEK AND BEAUTIFUL LOVE IT !! This September 2020!! The hell with the Virus 🦠!!
I kinda thought about upgrading to a Maxima from a 2015 Altima, but for $30k+, id rather look at actual luxury brands. Good review of the car bro!
Don’t blame ya there! Thank you!
What luxury brands are in the 30k’s?
Cool front screen saver
Very nice review! I just came across your channel and you have a new subscriber in me! Can you please do a review of the Infiniti Q50 sedan? Again, good job!
Thank you so much, happy to hear that!
I would love to. I just sort of formed a relationship with the company that manages Nissan/Infiniti fleet and in hoping to get my hands on one soon! Otherwise I will pursue a dealer lol
nissan getting better and better
Love this car.
Amazing car. Just fantastic.
I am a die hard Nissan fan working at a body shop I've owned a lot of cars an the 03 maxima se-te-6mt was the last maxima in my opinion last year built in Japan 6 speed Manuel and 4 speed auto were bullet proof I've owned 3 of them and I've owned 2 v6 Toyota camary not impressed but owed 2 7th gen Honda accord v6 6 speed coupe their the best accord in my opinion
Very cool! Good to hear from you and thanks for sharing that. Good point I. The 03 Maxima too with it being built in Japan
Well if you cant afford it you can get sentra which is also good
Good point, even the Altima!
got a 2009 max... its still hard to get rid of it... i say i will do it next year and another year has almost gone....sorry love my max.
That’s great though! Happy to hear it
I wish Nissan redesigned the key fob
Yeah it’s pretty old
cease19811 yeah but it’s in your pocket most of the time, so no biggie.
This nissan should have full led lighting most have on high end trim models.
I agree!
Although I'm a car enthusiast, I can't ever understand the love over the Maxima.
It’s definitely changed over the years with its market I think. I love that it has 300 HP, more aggressive looks but still a comfortable interior...but I was it had a different transmission just so it felt more engaging and sporty, although this CVT does give you good power quickly and can keep RPMs up, but I know what you’re saying!
Very good review!!! Good job!!
Thank you!
Dam good review video 📹 👍🏿 👏 ... looking at getting one
Good review & great Nissan.
This is a great review. Excellent job and descriptions during the road test. Many RUclips clones don't even bother with the road test.
Kingnole 001 thank you very much, I appreciate the kind words!
We rented a Maxima SV, it was a great car!
All I can say is stay on top of the recommended CVT transmission fluid changes. Expensive but cheaper than a new trans. 03 Murano 273K. Original CVT and engine.
Very nice, makes sense and sounds good to me. Thanks for sharing!
Another thing ONLY use Nissan trans fluid too. I know some of you will try to go cheap. Don't do it.
how often should fluid be changed I just got this car at 47k miles
@@daevonbrooks6405 The Nissan should have the recommended maintenance schedule along side the owners manual. If not you can down load it online. It going to be based on how many miles you driver per year. Sold my Nissan at 290k. Same CVT and Engine.
