You are so very right

I agree, for $45K I'm getting a new Lexus IS 350, or a Acura TLX anyday over a Maxima..

@@lunarblackstar1100% agree. And you know a year from now this maxima will be barely worth 29,000$ used in 2024

That price would be too big of a wish

You can get a 2020 thru 22 and save a lot of money! They look the same since 2016

Unless there's a rebate from Nissan, $10k off the MSRP is not possible at all. You're better off getting a used one.

Had a 2000 Maxima SE black/black leather 5 speed manual.....loved it, only front wheel drive car I've ever owned.....traded it in on the brand new Z (6 speed) in Dec/'02, loved that even more😁

That's why I'm here watching this video because I was sitting here thinking about my old 2004 maxima and how fast it was and how ahead of it's it felt

That’s so fantastic

That’s do awesome to hear

Yeah, been driving Nissans since 97 and have a several with CVTs, no issues.

You guys feel some random small jerks on acceleration, or is that normal ?

@@kjk4795 Whens the last time you've changed the fluid? With these transmissions the fluid should be changed every 30k. I'd also check motor mounts as my Maxima had that jerk as well but it was the motor mounts.

@@kjk4795time to change the fluid

Kia K5

Kia stinger V6

@@kokopuffs5789 They're discontinuing that too

I think it will be SUV or EV . Maxima name is iconic name I know they will come back

Wow you have been very dedicated

Exactly 💯

Well said, change your tranny fluid around every 30k miles and shouldn't have any issues.......

Don't you feel some random jerks on acceleration? Or is that normal?

@@kjk4795I’ve never felt that with mine 🤷🏻‍♂️

the cvt will blow up eventually after 100k km

Nahhh Nissan don’t want to make money.

😂😂😂😂😂😂​@@sleeping7003

I hope so.

That’s gay AF

I totally agree with you

Unfortunately doing "something special" often does not include altering the main mechanicals, such as switching gearbox options. And speaking of which, Nissan should've made the gearbox change a few years back, by offering either 9AT or 6MT and with helical LSD pption. That move could've recouped some customer base......

@@vampyrelycan99or add awd or rear wheel

@@djerry11226 Easier said then done -- depending on platform and transmission options. Which is why I skip this part......

Or Maxima Nismo

That’s a great idea! Thanks fir the feedback!

The CVT is a transmission to avoid from Nissan. I think Toyota has a decent one, but avoid Nissan's CVT at all cost.

I totally like the way you think Omar

@@twoweeledsoto6072this is so very true

Nissan has worked out their CVT problems. Even our 2011 Altima has 150k miles on it and still "shifts" great.@@twoweeledsoto6072

It needs a 7 speed dct or super built automatic.

I grew up in my parents 1981 310. Prior to that it was called the F10 and after the Pulsar. The 810/Maxima was ahead of it’s time back then. I had a 2002 SE 6 speed manual myself. It’s a shame it’s been left to die on the vine.

Glad I own both of the first a 79 810 wagon and a 82 Maxima Turbo.

I remember those

They peaked in that 3rd generation. Great cars then.

I agree with you

They kept AWD and more power for the Q50. But the Q is a much higher price point.

With the GTR engine and all wheel drive

@@mmccurdas a maxima driver this was my dream. An AWD maxima with a 3.7 at least. Would’ve been a dream

The Altima offers awd

Thanks fir letting me share it with you

@@RaitisRides Yeah

Amen. Potential wasted

Thanks fir sharing that great experience you had

OP.... I think your last sentence needs 1 or 2 more "leather" put in there.

@@durapoker I didn't realize I basically said it twice for the seats alone, sorry about the repetitiveness, I usually catch things like that. Fact is, I was never a leather fan until this car & I've had a ton of cars, with & without it. Including a Stinger 2.0T Premium. The name of these, on the specific trim I got, is so long already lol, my bad, I just made it even longer for no reason. Editing it now.

@@JustinPennito 👍

What color and trim ?

This is the last year for them.

Not yet, but it's not a 24 model I'm told

This is it! The final year

@@frankfirewood5384you are correct

I predict the Altima is next

Congrats on that

Tell me about it

They supposedly bringing it back in 25 as an EV.

Electric vehicles are not green.

@@marvinmurakami8828 they are green, that is saving the environment it's helping from air pollution

@dyllanmendoza9918 it takes petroleum to provide the electricity at charging stations. It takes petroleum to run the machinery to go through many tons of earth to produce the lithium needed for one car. Once lithium batteries are used up, they can't be renewed and end up as permanent toxic waste.

I have the same car but it's an 2009, the first year of the 7th gen with 165,000 miles. Nissan should've offered a manual transmission option on the 7th gen

Wait I thought it was a v6 ! Non cvt

​@loitersquadx8590 what does the engine have to do with the transmission?

@@kevin-qc7zvI thought cvt can only handle weak engines basically like engines with under 288 hp

The CVT lets the vehicle accelerate fast deccelerate fast and easily brake on a nissan. Nissan CVT is high quality CVT. With CVT you can go from gear 1 to gear 6 in one second unlike the manual or automatic that has to go from 1 to 6 in steps

@loitersquadx8590 no, a cvt transmission can handle stronger engines as well. I personally don't care for them in comparison to 8 to 10 speed transmission. However, the cvt in my 2022 lexus nx f sport is amazing! I honestly can't tell the difference.

Yeah you’re right about that sport mode. I have a 2020 Altima 2.5 SR. I didn’t know that there was a button on the shifter for like 2 years 😅 and now I put it in sport mode Every time I drive around in the city it’s way better to drive that way 🎉

Yeah sport mode just uses more gas

I got an 09

You had all the great models. That 98 model was a 🐺 in 🐑 clothing

Lol I’ve been trying to say this. Why would anyone buy this car when you can spend similar money and get a car with way better performance. Not even buying for mpg why would you care about that in a sports car that’s just dumb also it max 30 in 2023. Craazy why does this car exist.

You are not the first to say that

That is some great commentary Chris

@RaitisRides Thanks Joe 👍🏻

Lies. This car far from killed best CVT in production to date. Your just bias on the CVT. New age now.

True, we loved our 2018 so much that we just traded for a 2023, these cars are awesome.@@dee_1016

That model that came out in 1995 was a beast. At the time it was the fastest 4 door Japanese sedan in the world. That 3.0 V6 just couldn't be touched when pushed the power wàs there and handled well

In EV and all wheel drive 🚗

It’s a little long in the tooth

​​@@RaitisRides i personally like the generation before this. 2012 or so

@@Darylrb1983 my Favorite Maxima is the 4th gen SE and the 5.5 gen 3.5 SE in the manual…. But it’s hard to argue that the 8th gen wasn’t the best overall. The interior on the 8th gen is pretty great tbh. Only thing that held that car back was the CVT and even that was no where near as bad as the CVT in the 6th and 7th gens. The Xtronic in the Maxima and the CVT in the civics will change a lot of peoples minds about the CVT being that bad… the rubber band feel is pretty much gone from them.

The 2014 was the best body before they came out with this bulgy body lol I loved my 2014 ,2015 they didn’t make one until 2016

😂got me a 03 too, 4 speed auto tho. That 6speed manual was a beast during it's time back then

💪 aight, still got my 09 and a 03

I agree. Too outdated and they fumbled the opportunity to make the final maxima special. Just doesn’t compare to the G70 imo. I’d never choose this over the Genesis. 💯⚡️⚡️⚡️

The Maxima never competed with Camry, Accord, Malibu because all those cars are standard 4 cylinder (v6 optional at the time) the Maxima has always been a v6 top of the line sport family sedan.

Comparing maxima to a Korean crap

@@ItsChrisWorld Those vehicles have 4 bangers now but like you said at one time at least the Toyota and Honda had 6 bangers for quite a while. The Maxima has been marketed as a 4 door sports sedan ever since it started sliding through downtown streets in Nissan ads. I agree that it’s been a sport sedan but currently I don’t see any such pedigree that makes it outshine those other vehicles. I definitely don’t see where it’s on par with the G70 or any of the other luxury sport sedans, many of which are powered by 4 cylinder engines. It’s got a huge following though. Same for the Altima and 300 sports cars It’s awesome that there are so many choices that everyone can have something that fits their needs like a glove.

@@hugdeath929 yea I agree. I wanted a maxima but for a 2023 with that kind of interior 🤢 I passed and got the Altima

@@ItsChrisWorld That Altima is a hugely popular car with lots of support on the forums. I’ve heard nothing but praise about Nissan’s zero gravity seats. I think more automakers should strive for that kind of comfort. Congratulations on the new purchase👍.
