NeverStopCubing BN lucky lol i drove a 1995 maxima for 10 years befor i got this, i loved that car but this car is amazing, guess youd actually appreciate it more if you drove an older car before getting a really nice car lol
NeverStopCubing BN This will be my 2nd car. Looking to buy a 2014 Maxima SV with Sport and Tech package tomorrow. Defiantly a big upgrade from my 14 Focus.
I know this comment is pretty old at this point, but I just wanted to say that reading this honestly gave me some inspiration. I'm 17 and I've been working for the past 8 months to save up for my first car. I'm saving for a 6th gen Accord or a 95-99 Maxima and I'm pretty close to being able to buy it. I've had a few hiccups in my savings, but I'm getting closer and closer and it's nice to see that there's someone who actually accomplished a goal that's similar to mine. (Sorry to give my entire life-story on a car video lol).
+Ryan G i'm in the exact same situation. i keep looking for cars within my price range.. looking at all the options and keep coming back to the Maxima. I think the Acura TL is a bit better but it's also more expensive for current generation. what did you end up buying?? If you got the Maxima, how do you like it?
+dan428 I went and got the Maxima bro. I think its the best car u can get for the money. I LOVE IT, its really quick, you'll get to 100mph w/o even noticing. Only draw back was the bluetooth is only for phone and not media. I think this was changed in the 2010 model tho. I bought black but white looks the best imo. If you get the panoramic sunroof w/ the white it really looks amazing. Interior is the good and comfortable. Get comments on it all the time. The bose system is amazing also.
+Ryan G I was stuck between getting the maxima and the TL also..I ended up getting the maxima because it was a better buy and had almost 20k less miles on it than the TL I was looking at but the TL was about 4k more..I ended up getting a 2012 maxima with the limited edition package...mine is white with the smoked rims, tail lights, and smoked headlights..I could do without all the other technology that car manufacturers stuff inside of cars but for the life of me I do not understand why nissan did not give us bluetooth streaming audio on all maximas...I think u have to get the tech package on an SV model to get that..not cheap either..either way I love the car, especially in white...if the car wasn't white it probably would've been a deal breaker...white cars imo just have a clean fresh look to it...hard to explain lol...my favorite part about the car would probably be my HIDs...really makes the car look that much better
I'm still driving my 2011. It has been wonderful. I don't want to get rid of it, but I'll want a truck soon. I bought a 2007 350z to go with it recently :)
I just bought one fully loaded every option without knowing anything about a Nissan Maxima and I was amazed by everything. It was well taken care of and second owner by someone I’ve known over 20 years
I just bought my 2010 Nissan Maxima. Not fully loaded. I'm the second owner. I think the first owner just bought the entry level cus mine don't have all the other options lol but it still feels luxurious 😇
After finding out about the cvt transmission I sold it for a grand more than I paid and bought a cheap 2008 Crown Vic interceptor. Rebuilt the air conditioning completely and haven’t looked back 🤣 Cheaper insurance since I already had an Excursion and Goldwing on it. Hauls ass. Traffic gets out of the way. I get to work 8 mins quicker. I’m slowly adding more performance parts. This vehicle has been more fun playing with than the Nissan ever was.....
When this car came on the market in summer 2008, I fell in love with the design and I still love it today. It looks sleek, fresh, sexy. I drive an Altima and the Max, while slightly smaller, is a better car all around.
Last "real" Maxima was the 2003, which I own. It weighs a lot less, handles great for its size, has heavy old school hydraulic steering with good feel, powerful brakes, has spectacular acceleration and merging power with the 6-speed and yet it has a bigger back seat and trunk, heated seats and steering and most of the amenities of the newer models.
@@jamesfish8336 the 2002 maxima se was sportier anyway in my opinion those sporty wheels and white face dash (speedometer) for some reason i think the 02-03 maxima would beat the 2012 maxima
The Nissan Maxima is a good car I've owned 3 since 1982 I still have the 82 as my daily driver I also have a 2010 SV. A lot of people say that the ones from 90s were faster but its the first car I had at a 135 mph I was racing a 300C and I won. It's really a good car good video !
Now in 2020, manuals are almost dead and automatics and CVTs are pretty much all that's left on most new cars. Electric cars will end the transmission choices pretty much over the next decade or so.
fanowner12 I've driven altimas and maximas with the cvt, they do not feel like a manual at all lol The mazda's skyactiv 6sp auto transmission, those feel more like a manual. Also, neither the sentra or altima is fun to drive or sporty at all. Maxima on the other hand is more fun to drive. Used to like nissan, but none of their cars are attractive anymore :(
Nice video, Sofyan. A few things I want to mention: though I've owned Maximas in the past, and am considering this 7th gen. for purchase, I agree that in its current state, it should no longer wear the 4dsc; that moniker should be attached to the M37/56. You forgot to mention the driver-focused accoutrements, like the driver's seat thigh extension, optional driver seat-only ventilation (cooling). Also, dual-panel sunroof is sunrific!
I also had 99 SE and 2003 maxima you bet they was great cars Now I have a 2009 Nissan Maxima I had now going on Ten years Still running good regular Maintenance that's all
Just bought a Maxima but 2009 fully loaded SV . With 154k miles guy took it dealerships for every little problem and even cvt fluid was maintained . Drives fast and it’s sexy I love it . I had a 2006 Acura TL before this too
LIKESQUAD_CEO honestly that sounds awful a lot for the mileage . But if the body has that mileage , and the engine & transmission are rebuilt or replaced I can see why they selling it for 5k. I would buy it if it drives good and if it’s in good condition .
@@carlosesparzavazquez4753 that’s what I’m getting today just sold my civic si fa5 fbo dyno I’m miss it but it was just too many problems with that car
Be careful you don't grenade the CVT.. they don't last forever. 180k km is average. There are some known issues there, pump and pump valve, and thermal sensor for the CVT, and you MUST use Nissan's CVT fluid which costs about the same as HP Printer Ink. :) (Well it's more expensive than most and cannot really be substituted). Service interval is 40k miles fluid replacement, and worth doing the filter at the same time probably and gives you a chance to see if there is much wear going on. The cooling system of the CVT can be very unusual on some vehicles with a shared coolant / CVT fluid radiator. Drive it with care, and don't launch it all the time.
Big question I'm about to get this car and I have seen that it needs premium gas! Damn that makes me think twice if I really want the car???Any maxima owners any thought?
Just run it in premium (95/98+) yes it's slightly more pricey, but not a huge deal. Now that petrol / oil has fallen so far in price you should be good for a few years anyway.
Never put cheap gas in it if you buy it. Also the premium gas combined with that engine. It helps the engine be more responsive. I have a 2010 maxima love it
@@james10165 wow that’s crazy. I always wondered why the CVT in the Maxima is more reliable. You would think it would Maxima would eat that CVT because it’s more powerful lol
@@kalielwebb3774 lol You would think that right....I think it has to do with the transmission not being under constant stress by not having to keep the engine in the higher rpms constantly to get up to speed; unlike the 4 cylinders. Less heat is produce as a result, making it more reliable.
Great review as always :) I know these are completely different cars but ones that I really like and dont see to many videos on. Can you please review the new lincoln mkz, scion frs, toyota avalon.
It would seem that RUclips is having some sort of glitch that requires you to switch it to 240p for the video to show up. We could simply switch it back to 360 or higher right after.
My best friend bought a 2013 from a local Nissan dealership last summer. It was a demo car with 5k miles on it and he payed a bit over 40k for it. Definitely NOT $40,000 worth of car.
i love my 2010 sv w/ sport package my only issue is that it did not come with the technology package so no bluetooth music or interactive screen. only other issue is i wish the sport package came with a 6 speed manual, the 6mt swap is worth more than the car itself so i cannot justify 10-15k on a swap lol. love the car otherwise
I have a pearl white 2008 3.5 se with tan leather the car is as solid as they come it has every maintenance record from dealer since day one I’ll keep it till it goes to the crusher
I agree with him too. But if they were to add a 6-speed/7-speed automatic to the VQ35 in this Maxima, wouldn't that make it more like an Infiniti G35? Just asking.
+NOLAItsNotOva it doesn't have good MPG.. it was outdated for 2012-2014, that's why they have a new version for 2016. for a 2009 used car i think it's nice
I just purchased a 2013 maxima sv premium. Love the car and this is really a great informational video. In sport mode, it is definitely has alot more pep than my V6 2013 mustang I traded in for it. However, the V6 mustang 0-60 is 11 percent faster. And yes, the altima is faster than the maxima.
+Redline Reviews I know most ppl do not consider the maxima to be a 4DSC, but I do not think it is hardly a family sedan either...that's what the altima is for..that she max is almost a 2+2 car with that cramped back seat...far from anything family oriented...
It's regarded as an entry-level executive sedan, pitched more at the business person / professional, but obviously some end up as family cars. They wouldn't bother putting a "sport" mode on the car and tuning it up if it was just pitched as a family commuter.
what is the difference between a infiniti g37 2009 and nisssan maxima 2009 do they use the same part if i bought a infiniti can i use the nissan parts?
jdiaza12 Even the v6 has 333 hp! V8 R-Spec is gorgeous and has nicer wheels, but I think the v6 (equipped with 4 good winter tires as I'm in Boston) is a great buy.
Lookin for a new car. Im a ford membor but im stuck between of getting the maxima or a crown vict police interceptor. CVPI would be cheaper, i like the looks, the get up, and its a PI. The Maxima what the guy said in the video.
You talked about the 4dsc badge, and that the maxima isn't worthy on it. I personally don't think that the Q50 is either. Please review the Q50, I'm curious to hear your feedback. I think the steering is terrible, and Infinity had a brain freeze moment and watered down their sports sedan to something attempting to be more luxurious.
I have the 2010 Nissan Maxima! I love my Maxima!!! Mines Gunmetal Grey! My first maxima was a 2003 Nissan Maxima Midnight Blue with HID Head Lights! I fucked up on letting that car go. Smh. The reason why I got me another Maxima! They are Sleepers! And they look bold and sexy! The fact that the maxima drives way smoother than most cars I've ever drove keeps me planted on this car! Drove a 2013 Altima and eh-huh no no... it Drives to clunky for me and Turning felt weird on it. Big Pass on the Altima! But yea I can't wait to get me a 2020 Nissan Maxima Platinum! Goals keep me going! Have a good one bro!
I love the 7th gen Maxima, But I'm not all that impressed with the performance. I think that if they eliminated the cvt. The car would be a beast. Why not 300 horses with 300 lbs of torque? The take off is kind of nice, but if you punch it @ 40-50 miles an hr, it's very mediocre. The RPM's go up, but it's like it's not in the right gear. Are there any performance mods for these cars???
The Maxima handles better and has a better feel to it, I've owned both. The V6 Altima is a little faster but not much and that's only due to the weight of the Maxima. When the new Maxima comes out it is going to be so far ahead of the Altima, and it will make it appear dated. The Maxima's interior is far superior in fit and finish in comparison to the Alti but both are comfortable. If someone was to offer me either car, I'd still chose the Maxima despite it being slower, it handles better and it just feels better.
My neighbor bought one couple of months ago. They really like the car. I would go with a manual if they had the option, CVT not my thing( always heard bad things about it). Always love your review Sofyan! If u get a chance Plz can u review a 04-08 Toyota Matrix Xrs.
Leisa Williams it does not buy a small tire pressure gauge it's like 3 dollars the most and go to each valve cap on each tire and if it is not at 33psi that's the culprit tire.
The Maxima stopped being a sports sedan when Nissan got rid of the 6 speed manual transmission. While I wouldn't mind owning a Maxima, Nissan really needs to offer more transmission options. Honda offers CVT, a regular automatic and a 6 speed manual for the Accord. Toyota offers a 6 speed automatic and a CVT. The list goes on and on. We need more options.
***** If you go onto the Maxima forum, there was a guy that found out that the newest VQ35DE engine with CVT can be bolted up to a 6 speed manual no problem. Look up the 5.7 gen Maxima. Maybe someday someone will modify the 7th gen Maxima with the manual transmission.
I'm 16, and worked my butt off to be able to buy this car with a little help from my parents. I've never been happier with a car and though I've had it for about 7 months, I really can say that it's a close to perfect car. Very fast, yet controllable and very luxurious.

I'm surprised it didn't backfire from the amount of gas leaking from the Exaust.
I like the looks exterior wise, but the interior looks outdated and the CVT just ruins it for me. Hey Nissan, there's other ways to get good mpgs!
I agree .
I agree with him too. But if they were to add a 6-speed/7-speed automatic to the VQ35 in this Maxima, wouldn't that make it more like an Infiniti G35? Just asking.
Ashwin Thiagarajan That's a good question, I would like to know that to.
Ashwin Thiagarajan Because the Maxima is FWD, probably not. Nissan would have to also make an AWD and/or RWD Maxima for it to be more like the G37.
+NOLAItsNotOva it doesn't have good MPG.. it was outdated for 2012-2014, that's why they have a new version for 2016. for a 2009 used car i think it's nice
I luuuuuv Maximas 💚❣
Awesome review
GOOD REVIEW & GREAT CAR.
Great review btw and makes no damn sense for nissan to have their altima now cannibalize sales of the maxima. Still waiting for that Q50 review.
We're in the process of acquiring one from the press fleet :)
most midsize cars cannibalize their more upmarket full size stable mates...makes plenty of sense...price
They could have atleast slapped the 6 speed auto and the awd system in this and it would have been perfect.
EXCELLENT REVIEW
I just purchased a 2013 maxima sv premium. Love the car and this is really a great informational video. In sport mode, it is definitely has alot more pep than my V6 2013 mustang I traded in for it. However, the V6 mustang 0-60 is 11 percent faster. And yes, the altima is faster than the maxima.
was your mustang a standard or auto have a mustang aswell sure do like these maximas would possibly trade my car in for one aswell
A standard v6 mustang. A manual would have just as much pep as a 2013 maxima for sure.
+slc9800gtx yup thats what i have and that cvt is the downside to the maxima
How in the world is an altima with 182hp faster than a 290hp maxima?
Do all 4 doors have to be "family sedans" to you? why not just sedan?
Not necessarily, we would refer to the Infiniti G37 or Q50 as a sport sedan.
+Redline Reviews I know most ppl do not consider the maxima to be a 4DSC, but I do not think it is hardly a family sedan either...that's what the altima is for..that she max is almost a 2+2 car with that cramped back seat...far from anything family oriented...
It's regarded as an entry-level executive sedan, pitched more at the business person / professional, but obviously some end up as family cars. They wouldn't bother putting a "sport" mode on the car and tuning it up if it was just pitched as a family commuter.
what is the difference between a infiniti g37 2009 and nisssan maxima 2009 do they use the same part if i bought a infiniti can i use the nissan parts?
The Airbox lid isn't secured properly! 7:43
LOL! and he stomps on the gas so much. funny!
We noticed it too, tried to fix it but the clips to secure were broken.
I love my Nissian maxima
My car shopping has come down to the Maxima SV fully loaded vs Hyundai Genesis fully loaded. Which would you recommend between the two?
Hyundai Genesis V8 a lot of power !!
jdiaza12 Even the v6 has 333 hp! V8 R-Spec is gorgeous and has nicer wheels, but I think the v6 (equipped with 4 good winter tires as I'm in Boston) is a great buy.
Yes that sound like a good idea:) I mean I'm from Texas so the bigger the engine the happier we are!
I need a review of Nissan Versa Sedan SL 2014. I didn't find much review about this car. So, can you please review on it?
Baby GT-R 👌🏻
Lookin for a new car. Im a ford membor but im stuck between of getting the maxima or a crown vict police interceptor. CVPI would be cheaper, i like the looks, the get up, and its a PI. The Maxima what the guy said in the video.
Maxima... Please get the Maxima leave Ford alone.
Got a 2011 with 305 hp, I’m satisfied with the car not the Nissan dealership I bought it from though
295 on the 2011 I think
Traded my 2010 Max for a 2015 Mazda 6.....yes I did
😟 Damn..
Ralph Roman Damn
Good choice, you'll have a longer lasting, better quality car.
Toyota-Lexus Nissan-Infiniti Honda-Acura🇯🇵💛
does this version have bluetooth conection?? so i have hands free talk on the phone?
+Selector D Yes
You should do a nissan murano start up and test drive year 2010-2012 soyfan
im watching lots of your videos could you or anyone here recommend the best sedan for under 25,000?
You talked about the 4dsc badge, and that the maxima isn't worthy on it. I personally don't think that the Q50 is either. Please review the Q50, I'm curious to hear your feedback. I think the steering is terrible, and Infinity had a brain freeze moment and watered down their sports sedan to something attempting to be more luxurious.
I have a 2013 and a 2016 love dem both 😊🎉
Anybody watching in 2020?
This car is just like mine 😂 Thats why I’m here. I won’t be surprised if it is before I bought it
I have the 2010 Nissan Maxima! I love my Maxima!!! Mines Gunmetal Grey! My first maxima was a 2003 Nissan Maxima Midnight Blue with HID Head Lights! I fucked up on letting that car go. Smh. The reason why I got me another Maxima! They are Sleepers! And they look bold and sexy! The fact that the maxima drives way smoother than most cars I've ever drove keeps me planted on this car! Drove a 2013 Altima and eh-huh no no... it Drives to clunky for me and Turning felt weird on it. Big Pass on the Altima! But yea I can't wait to get me a 2020 Nissan Maxima Platinum! Goals keep me going! Have a good one bro!
yes
Nah I’m watching in 2023
@@VictorSanchez-ki4tu same here. Just got exact same. How is yours holding up?
This car looks cool
Maxima looks nice

I have a 2012 maxima but how do you know if you have the SV version?
Roblox for life leather seats and pattle shifts , navigation
What happened if i accidently put 87 gas in this maxima for the first time?
4000cad for 260km with 3 sets of wheels for 4k good flip?
I love the 7th gen Maxima, But I'm not all that impressed with the performance. I think that if they eliminated the cvt. The car would be a beast. Why not 300 horses with 300 lbs of torque? The take off is kind of nice, but if you punch it @ 40-50 miles an hr, it's very mediocre. The RPM's go up, but it's like it's not in the right gear. Are there any performance mods for these cars???
7:15 when u hit the right spot👌
2009 maxima sucks in the snow when driving. What can I do????????
Snow tires
Snow Tires Brah.. Why even ask that question?
Big foot tires
It doesn’t have a sport mode?
lmao his face after he says "at least their trying with the pannel shifters"
It sorta reminds me of a gtr with a cvt...
A GTR doesn't have a cvt
@@shravdoesstuff lol that's not what he meant.
But FWD, not RWD / AWD.
The Maxima handles better and has a better feel to it, I've owned both. The V6 Altima is a little faster but not much and that's only due to the weight of the Maxima. When the new Maxima comes out it is going to be so far ahead of the Altima, and it will make it appear dated. The Maxima's interior is far superior in fit and finish in comparison to the Alti but both are comfortable. If someone was to offer me either car, I'd still chose the Maxima despite it being slower, it handles better and it just feels better.
You could just go get a Q50 instead of a Maxima.
Naveen S the last q50 I looked at was $57k
Mark G Q50 starts at 34k... same as the Maxima
How in the world a 182hp altima is faster than a 290hp maxima?
@@wilferod he’s talking about the v6 Altima which as around 270
Glad to see you eliminated that useless intro music, we tune in to hear your car reviews, not music
The air box was open @ 7:25min. That would have caused the excessive intake noise.
My neighbor bought one couple of months ago. They really like the car. I would go with a manual if they had the option, CVT not my thing( always heard bad things about it). Always love your review Sofyan! If u get a chance Plz can u review a 04-08 Toyota Matrix Xrs.
Who can tell me how to determine which tire the PSI indicator is referencing?
Leisa Williams it does not buy a small tire pressure gauge it's like 3 dollars the most and go to each valve cap on each tire and if it is not at 33psi that's the culprit tire.
That was a good review!
Can you also review 2013 or 14 Honda accord exl sedan and 2014 accord hybrid sedan?
He's the master of car reviews compared to anybody else.
The Maxima stopped being a sports sedan when Nissan got rid of the 6 speed manual transmission. While I wouldn't mind owning a Maxima, Nissan really needs to offer more transmission options. Honda offers CVT, a regular automatic and a 6 speed manual for the Accord. Toyota offers a 6 speed automatic and a CVT. The list goes on and on. We need more options.
***** If you go onto the Maxima forum, there was a guy that found out that the newest VQ35DE engine with CVT can be bolted up to a 6 speed manual no problem. Look up the 5.7 gen Maxima. Maybe someday someone will modify the 7th gen Maxima with the manual transmission.
Stompy77 didn't know that. Will have to look into
