@@vitreoushumor Im fine with it being FWD, an AWD system would add a few hundred pounds to an already 3,700lb sedan and it seems to put it's power down pretty well for 300HP, for me it's just the CVT that lets this car down, and it definitely lets down this 3.5L V6 which is a great motor, If Nissan put a Jatco 7 or 9 speed in the Maxima it would be great, a competitor like the Hyundai Sonata N Line has a DCT.

Heavy steering at low speed but light steering at high speed? That's the exact opposite of what people want from a car's steering.

@kyron2092 Ай бұрын

I had a maxima as a rental and the light steering was scary at high speeds. There's a corner I could throw my 2016 optima in at 60 mph with no issue, but the maxima felt like it was gonna veer off of the road because the steering is so vague and light. It felt like I was driving a car with only one wheel in the center of the car.

I picked up a 2017 back in 2020 for $18k and cannot imagine paying $45k. That being said, if you can pick one up second hand for cheap, they are fantastic value. I have 80k miles on mine and have had 0 issues. The CVT isn't THAT bad and in my opinion, its smooth and makes for a good daily driver. I love the cabin of this car, its very comfortable and feels like a cockpit. Calling this a "sport" sedan is laughable to me. Its a big comfortable, cruiser.

@forester333 Ай бұрын

I had a 2016 version when it came out. I enjoyed it until I traded it in 2022 for a Subaru wilderness but: 1-had a back knocking sound that ended up being shocks and Nissan took care of it after a year of visits. 2-no issues either with cvt but you really have to change the cvt oil every 25k or else it does start slowing down and whine more. 3-front control arms and bushings went bad at 60k and paid $1800 to replace them. No I was not off roading, just from high way speeds 4-always shacky around 80+ miles although I did stick with the stock tires even for replacement and it could have been one bad tire but still irritated me that it didn’t feel together after owning it a while. 5-she is very efficient even with premium fuel. You can get two weeks out of her. 6-my model never had apple car play and Nissan wouldn’t give it to us 2016 owners so this version gets the best version of it all but I felt it was a slap at the time for paying all this money and Nissan wouldn’t give it to us as a courtesy. 7-60k maintenance is horribly expensive and you can’t just change spark plugs on these things that easy. 8-AC isn’t enough and doesn’t cool car quick enough 9-Ac controls went bad operationally but worked fine for me or I made it work until I could trade it on 10-don’t put this thing through car washes, Nissan paint will not survive and start oxidizing around 50k

I had the ‘95 Nissan Maxima GLE with the 3.0 liter V6 engine. It was a great car to drive. Nissan killed this car when they went to the CVT transmission and introduced the Altima.

Wanted to get a really nice loaded Black 2023 Maxima SR last November, the car was sitting on the lot for almost 1 year at that point, and the Nissan dealership was still asking close to 47K for it. I even made them an offer of $42K, but they would not budge on the price. The Car sat there till a few months ago with Nissan still asking $47K for it. I don't see it anymore; I'm guessing they finally sold it to some auction place.

Have a 2017 with 150k miles so far. Same gen as in the video and its been troublefree. I agree with your analysis, overall its a great car to drive around. The CVT isnt as bad as in the Altima and Rogue but def not a sports car. Great for roadtrips and commutes. Feels very different from the cheaper cars and more responsive. I still think the Maxima looks good on the road but its not worth the new MSRP price nowadays. The interior is great and comfy though. I got a ND2 Miata RF to daily so I don't drive the Maxima as much anymore but I think I'll have it for a long time as a second car.

Not to disagree but it was always much easier to get these way below MSRP. Plus, on the used market, they became a much better bang for your back vs a poverty spec Camry or accord. (Especially sound system wise) if it were me now, regardless of price I’d say a q50 or an ES would make more sense even on the used market because they fulfill their roles better. The maxima was always kinda half ass between luxury and sport.

I have to say the way Nissan went about this car is about as weird as any car could be. So they design this thing as a performance sedan and they went above and beyond to give it an amazing, throaty sounding V6 fixed paddle shifters, wider body, nice seats, but they absolutely pooped the bed with that absolutely awful CVT and that weird, steering that's heavier at slow speeds and lighter at high speeds. It's really weird to wonder what the designers of this car were thinking... there must have been a ton of arguments within the design/product development team.

The Maxima was a great vehicle but because the things that were going on with Nissan itself I don’t think and believe the Maxima, Altima, QX30, QX50 or the QX55 would have gotten an a/t just because the vehicles were already slated in Carlos era and its why when Makoto came in and the Pathfinder was being refreshed its why it and a few others got an upgraded transmission.. Let’s remember that they had sold their shares from Mercedes Benz They also was in turmoil with the Japanese government They had lost tons of cash because of a greedy CEO and who was turning the company into a eco box because of Renault and trying to merge Nissan into Renault to hide funds and build cheap vehicles Lets also not forget that it was not Nissan fault but Carlos that made every bad decision for Nissan and Mitsubishi but wanted to continue to use these two companies to be a cash cow for Renault who is owned by the French government as well .. Its a lot and I feel its why Nissan is still trying to find its way back because of all the things that happned

Why not put a gtr r35 engine and transmission in that ? Nissan really needs to recalculate

Caught me off guard when you said you were in canton lol. Never had a KZfaqr who was acc in my town. For the car though, 46 grand is ridiculous for a Nissan, especially with their poor cvt reliability.

This would be such a great car and competitive option in its class if it weren’t hooked up to a CVT. Just disappointing and kills the overall driving experience.

Wait this thing is 45 GRAND?

You can get one a few years older for less than half that amount, and even then I wouldn't get it

Having Nissan calling this a sport sedan with a cvt is a joke

@lustearnz Ай бұрын

I loved it. So well designed. Hated the cvt and always having to unlock the doors.

The Maxima used to be quite a bit bigger than the Altima. Then they kept making the Altima bigger and ruined the Maxima

Just a bunch of sheep in the comments. I hate the car community. There’s nothing wrong with this damn car having a CVT. The ONLY down side is starting off. The belt starts off slow then needs to ramp up speed. That’s it. Once the needle reaches 4k you’re good! A regular auto would just push you back into your seat more and have a better take off. If y’all change your damn fluid in your transmission you won’t have issues. From what it seems , Nissan releases a new CVT every 3 weeks, this car is FINE. do you damn maintenance and you’ll be FINE! you don’t even hear of these cars having transmission issues YET you hear ALOT of Honda accords going through head gaskets and transmissions, yet y’all go for those all day long. None of you know a crap thing about cars. It’s just everyone repeating the same old stupid song.

@maxbiker99 Ай бұрын

100% Agree with this. People don't maintain their crap or beat the crap out of it and then wonder why it fails.

Yes! The last sentence is what I always think. People just repeat the same thing over and over and then they think they said their 2 cents. And the comment section is only full with the same thing over and over.

It's "fine" sure but you can get way better for 50 grand

IMO, given the long history of this car, Nissan should've just done a complete redesign and kept the name. It looks way too similar to the Altima and probably cannibalized the sells. Maybe turn it into a compact sports car to compete with the Civic, Elantra, and GR86. Or maybe branch out a sister company that focuses on luxury like what Hyundai did with the Genesis

I do agree that they should have kept the Maxima however, we have had an Altima for 4 years now and they definitely look different. Place two side by side. There are so many styling differences.
