I don't understand why people who hate certain cars watch every video about that car, then waste time trashing it in the comments. I dislike more new cars than I like (mainly for appearance and over saturation in the market)...but I don't have time to watch 30 videos and comment on them. I bought the 2017 Maxima, it's perfect for what it's intended for...transportation . If racing is always # 1 on your list for buying a new car, you'll never actually get the super car you want.
Why do people trash cars? My guess is some have had bad experience with the maker and do it to get back at the company. For example ,my local Nissan dealer wanted $2400.00.. to do a "major tune-up" which would include replacing the failed coil packs that prompted a SES light.Other trips in for repairs find that Nissan would never fix anything under the warranty.But just because they were horrible to me as a customer,I would never go on line just to rip them.
I just drove one of these for a short work trip - what a blast it was! Kinda wish I didn’t have my boss with me... I just knew it was 300hp without looking it up, and it handled way better than my old and gone gen1 Mazda 6 V6. There probably is no reason to ever mod the stock suspension, aside from new shocks at 75k miles. This may even be better than the new Toyota Camry. One more thing - I didn’t even realize it had a CVT transmission.
It is so crazy the amount of features and performance Nissan gives at this price point. To have all the features and performance of this vehicle in a luxury brand would be at least double the cost.
@@MrJlove67 dope! I got the 2021 Elantra but I was looking at this car for some yrs now it always was a thought like “man I would be a bad mf in this 😂” I still kinda want it too late now
I have to question whether most of you who are complaining about the CVT have actually ever driven one...nissan's CVT paired with the v6 is not bad at all...nissan tuned the CVT pretty dam good especially the artificial shift points..true enough I would probably prefer the traditional transmission but times are changing...honda and toyota have started implementing CVT transmissions as well and you better believe that the rest will follow suit
+Aziz your average driver does not even notice the difference especially if you aren't flooring it...even still nissan has artificial shift points to alleviate the CVT drone...nissan makes good cvts...I've heard great things about Hondas cvt but haven't had a chance to drive one myself
I love the cvt in my accord sport. The car accelerates from a light and gets up to speed extremely smooth and quiet. It almost feels like an electric car would. Also, in manual mode it feels just like a traditional automatic transmission would banging through gears. If I wanted to feel shift points again I'd just buy another manual car.
Currently half way through a 1 week rental in PSP with this car. What a fun car. And I'm à Toyota/Honda guy. Room enough for 2 sets of golf clubs, and travel gear to tour So Cal for a week. Did not even realize it was cvt. exhaust note is very sexy ,non sedan like as well.... Im a fan.
I strongly encourage every single person to test drive this car before making your discussion This isnt your moms civic that drags and whines when u step on it This is one of the best cars i have ever owned and much more comfortable than your average mercedes lexus bmw every place u can think is wrapped in napa leather where as even in mercedes most of the offering offers pleather best car for a daily driver hands down
The major discomfort faced in 2016-2017 model compared to 2015 is the interior cabin space. if you are riding for a long time you may feel tired and pain in legs as you cannot stretch you legs. The console is more projected outside which has reduced the space and also the gear shifting console is too fat so which makes us to adjust a lot without comfort. Rear seats can only hold maximum 2 people. Nissan message is clear that this car is marketed as a sports car but they should also consider the comfort level which they give in 2015 maxima models. Power wise this is the best car to buy with better service and cost.
I have a 2020 Maxima SR, it’s just one of the best kept secrets in the automotive world, great bang for the buck, and awesome driving dynamics, it’s QUICK with the legendary Nissan V6, wonderful car.
Yayyyy you finally did this review :) thank you.. This car is amazing in every way. Drives like a beast, the way nissan worked this cvt out.. Is just out of this world. Im about to buy maxima from manheim auction fix it up and will know how its made, how easy/hard it is to fix, parts etc... Now.. I just love it how ppl keeping putting this car down.. Funny how 95%of those talking shit cant buy car with that price tag for sure.. And what is also funny is that they barely know anything about it... If you ain't mechanic and saw how its made than u cant talk 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I bought my '98 SE new and it has over 250,000 miles on it now. I replaced the transmission with a used one with 108,000 miles, the starter, alternator, a couple sensors, radiator and regular maintenance. I figured that I saved $65,000 if I were to buy a new one every 3 years.
One weird thing I've noticed about Nissan's post-2012 lineup is they're all the same size. If you see a Sentra, Altima, and Maxima parked side by side in a dealership, they all look very similar. I suppose the difference is bigger if it's just the Sentra and Maxima. The same is true of the Murano, Rogue and Pathfinder, and the roof heights of all 6 are pretty similar. The NV200 and Quest look very similar in size side by side too, even though the NV200 is a Euro-style cityvan while the Quest is a full size minivan, smaller than most but still enormous. I omit the Versa because it's little more than a stripped Sentra. The only big size outliers in their lineup are the Titan/Armada, Frontier, sports cars, and Juke. The entire lineup has been designed to look as close in size as possible, even though they really are very different.
I have it ... its so fast that i can race a v8 charger and chevy ss and a v6 mustang ... and win in the high level speed .... and the fuel economy is great its as good as 4 cylinder 👌🏻😍
You keep mentioning the Avalon and Impala... why no love for the Taurus? I looked at the Maxima, and ended up going with the Taurus SHO... much better choice, in my mind.
@Issa Vibez I've got a 2017 sv with nearly 100,000 miles and the only issue I have had is the 12v outlet had to be replaced.. That"s not crappy is you ask me...
what a gorgeous car, that interior in tan leather is beautiful. I saw a black one yesterday on the road and loved it. wasn't sure if it was a new infinity or what it was, then i came closer and saw that it's this. The price for the top of the line one is about $45000 CND Which i believe is a good price for the car you're getting. Great review, thank you
It's a Versa not a verse. My car isn't shitty and I'm pretty sure I could afford what ever I want. Maybe you think they are ugly but I don't so continue on someone else's post not mine.
+Dustin Hart wow someone can't take a joke and u are a dumbass if u think autocorrect does not exist, plus my Lexus rx400h is way better than yur shitty car u dipshit
I think it is a nice car, but the prices is a bit rich for what is a glorified midsize with some premium appointments...but pricing & feel is uncomfortably close to the Infiniti Q50 which sports RWD, an actual gearbox with cogs, and for 2017, a smaller V6 twin turbo derived from the GT-R.
I have a 2016 Mazda 6 and what i hate about it is tha its front doors are small. The Nissan has larger front doors and gives you much better vision. First sedan Ive ever seen that has this.
This car isn't for the older folk! It's not easy getting in and out of. It sits really low, which is fine if you don't mind. But I minded. LOL. I felt like I was struggling to look over the dash and I am 6'1" tall. You sit really low. Excellent review!
I bought one a year ago with 33,000 miles used and it was amazing the transmission is nothing what y’all are talking about except the wear and tear on the transmission other than that I can gap g37s and most of the competing v6s the transmission better than y’all think but now at 70,000 miles you can little by little feel the transmission buggin out
I own this car and love the instant torque (at any speed) of the CVT. Up to about 40mph, this car is practically untouchable (by most cars). Most negative CVT comments are from people that never drove one paired to a higher-horsepower motor (like the setup in the Maxima). I would actually eliminate the fake shift points since it actually slows the car down.
From personal experience and research. Stay away from Nissan Maxima because of the CVT transmission. The chances of having to replace it are too good to risk. That's a $4000 bill that seems to fail at around 80K miles. warranty is 60K miles. Don't say I didn't warn you.
I'm having issues with my touchscreen, it keeps spamming the settings button and it will do it randomly, wondering if anyone has had this issue and if they know a fix!
The nissan is not a full sized cars. The altima is even though its cheaper than the Maxima. Nissan go backward and make Maxima smaller to look sportier unlike Avalon, 300, Impala, and Taurus
300,Impala,Taurus are brick style cars with no smooth body lines. Go look at the car in person and tell me different. I looked at all of these cars and now have a 2016 Maxima in my driveway...much better car. GM CVT's are garbage, they snap back after you stop acceleration which can cause the GM rubber bandy CVT to snap.
2:15 - You're probably thinking "how can a front drive, full size sedan with CVT transmission be any fun to drive?" 2:27 - Sound of a dual clutch automatic transmission shifting gears... CVTs don't shift gears... Also you don't have to say, CTV transmission. The "T" in CVT stands for "transmission." So unless you have developed a system to transmitting your transmission elsewhere, it is just called a CVT.
I drive a Nissan only because they had the best electric car at the time, but I hate how all of Nissan's cars look. This one, however... wow. The previous model was weird and really outdated, but this new one is really something!
Just one question, nissan still use the same crappy material for the dashboard than the 7th gen, the one that melt and crack without a valid reason just when the warranty expires and nissan dont accept as a design flaw?
My experience with Nissan and with the Maxima specifically. Warranty on drive train is 70,000 miles I think. My Maxima transmission went out a last year (2016) at around 85,000 miles. Nissan would do nothing about it. $4000 plus to replace. They don't repair, they replace. That was obviously a problem with the CVT trans and Nissan will do nothing about it, even if they are aware there is an issue. Look up Nissan CVT transmission problems. We were aware of it, but were told the 2011 is an improved model LOL Don't fall for it. Stay away from NIssan's CVT trans.
