Great video. I'm a 56 yr old mechanical engineer that bought one new in 2016. I now have 138,000 miles on it; still pulls like a train. Yes, people are afraid of the CVT-mainly its reliability. Then again, people want to drive cars without maintaining them; you can't do that with a CVT-that fluid must be changed. (BTW-my car has had nearly zero issues since new; then again, I get ALL preventative maintenance done).

I am not an SUV person I personally have a 17 Maxima and this is my 2nd nissan with a cvt. I drive pretty aggressively and I currently have 105.000 miles on my 17. Never had any issues with the car so far. I did do a transmission service at 90,000 MI. I'm very happy with this car and I am a mechanic for Mercedes-Benz for 22 years. I get lots of comments on my car and everyone who rides in it and drives it really enjoys it. I installed Stillen exhaust on the vehicle so it sounds better. Hopefully they come back with the Maxima in a few years

September 2023 traded a 2020 Silverado RST 5.3 engine I bought new in 2020 with lot of engine trouble at 19,000 miles for a new white 2023 Maxima SR. LOVE it and think it sporty, fast enough, comfortable, drives great, rides great and well equipped. I am 72 and remember when front wheel drive was the thing and what people bought to drive in the snow. Was in sales in 1984 and company I worked for got me a new 1985 Maxima station wagon. Right after I got it drove from middle TN to east TN about 300 miles in 22 inches of snow no problem and it was front wheel drive. I loved that car and it was way ahead of its time both in styling, equipment and tech or at least what tech there was. Different job now but still have a work car and don’t get to drive my personal car much but when I do can’t wait to get behind the wheel of the Maxima now and don’t mind the CVT at all. My wife is 23 years younger than me and drives a 2022 Genesis GV70 which she loves but I tell her the Maxima is my mid life crisis vehicle. Only other model I would have considered and think is sporty would have been the Lexus 250 or 300 sport series which are pretty sharp looking. Thanks for the in-depth video great job.

Had a few as rental cars. Spent many hours and miles in them. Definitely love it

I'm on my 2nd Maxima now. My first was 1993. I now own a 2022 Maxima, I bought new.

Have a 16 SR purchased new, I’m an aggressive driver and it’s been 8 glorious years of no issues at all. Maintenance is key to trouble free driving.

Yea, I get it some folks get sold a lemon and can't make lemonade out of it, yet a CVT engine or NOT, if folks would take care of their vehicles like they're supposed to it'll work. I haven't had any major issues with mine, thus far. 🤷‍♀️ I actually like this Maxima personally.

The Altima is no match for the MAX ! The MAX DID NOT NEED to be cancelled it needed a do over after being the same car since 2016 -2023 ! basically ! Start here 360 hp 310 torque AWD Upgrades to 2024 tech new lights new exhaust and a 9 speed basically what is under the new Pathfinder ! 52-55k price points = sold !

I have a Nissan Maxima sr 2020 and to be honest with y’all. I’m the type of person I really dog my car from times to times. I like driving raw lol And it’s still holding up pretty strong at 40,000 miles bought brand new.

I watch a lot of car review videos and have never seen one with so much detail and info. Amazing job! Amazing video! Good job! Keep it up!

I think the main reason behind bad sales is that the Altima is more fuel efficient, especially the Altima 2.0 VCT

I hurry up and buy this car as my 1st dude.

Did not know about the business card/pen holder. Thanks!!!

Got mine already! ✔️

Love my SR.

Why are they not selling? Today’s man is weak. Women are making the decision on their family vehicle which is a SUV. What’s that? Mini vans are NOT selling either you say? I’m in sales and own this car in SR version. Why did I buy it? A rare car on the road. It’s faster than most cars on the road with 300 hp to get you outta dangerous situations. It comes with a premium Bose stereo (be sure to go to settings and crank up the bass and sub woofer and you’ll be rocking. The interior is beautiful. The CVT is a none issue. Here’s the reality. In real life driving conditions it does not hinder your driving. You will very quickly adapt to its performance. When you are walking up to your Maxima from hitting the hardware store etc you’ll approach its angles and say to yourself wow this car is car is so so nice!

I like the triple black and the fogs. Very beefy lookin👍🏻👍🏻

Sad to see the Maxima discontinued, but I believe Nissan may bring the name back with a EV in 2025........

I might hurry and afford this sedan quickly.

Best sport car 🖤🔥

Dope

In the Market for another Vehicle. Out of all the Car Manufacturers for Pre Owned Vehicles it seems that the Altima & Maxima you can get for the best deal. My issue is over the years so many people having issues with their CVTs getting replaced.

I just think there's not enough this has that the altima and sentra don't to make up for the bigger price.

The rogue and murano replace it becsuse most people prefer to spenk 40k on compact SUV than a sedan

I know it has all the bells n whistles, but $45,000 wow

Mustafa spells like this!

Co-worker has this same it’s so clean. But I’m not too sure about Nissan. I have a 2018 Camry with a slipping trans 😑, and I don’t wanna have cvt trouble if I go with this..

The Nissan stopped making the Maxima as a sexy sedan & started making coupes

They should make a maxima se-r 6 speed manual

Peace bro

Premium fuel 🙁WHY?! The only thing that did stop me away from that beautiful Maxima is the CVT. mostly not because it's a CVT alone. then it is Nissan CVT. thank you for reviewing. killing such an iconic name is a bad idea. the right thing they should have taken out the CVT and replaced it with 8-speed transmission and included AWD with the V6 no Turbo. and uses Regular Gas, please.

I think they don't sell well because they are overpriced!

Altima killed the maxima literally no point in price difference when you get more space and basically same specs

cvt trans not reliables had to replace mine

Engine is great but not with CVT. This transmision killing this engine. Great review as always. Greetings

Cvt is BAD!! YES 😢
