the fact that they are killing off the maxima, they should do one last bring back, same v6 with 300+ hp, but drop in the 9 speed transmission they're using in the frontier and pathfinder. Let fans and consumers get one good last ride.
@@beekaye1496 I need to listen to the flax series, I hear nothing but good about them. I'm running the Focal 163 components in my Optima Harmon Kardon and they sound incredible even without an aftermarket amp...
@@Spartan536 bro yes there are gonna keep producing maximas after 2023 they gonna be electric in 2024 please do your research and know what you talking bout 🙄😂
I use to work for a Rental Car Company and Nissan Maxima was the one Customer favorite rental. It cannot stay on the Lot because it was either rented or employee takes it out of the lot. Fun car to drive with a lot of power.
I love my 2020 Nissan Maxima Platinum, just wish it was rear wheel drive and a true 8 speed transmission. Too bad they are dropping it next year for an electric version in 2025. Great Review
@@Therealpeter10 Yeah I'm not a fan of CVTs neither but if you take care of it, it should last you a while, CVTs are meant for fuel efficiency so if you drive this conservative it should last you a while.
Nice car Nissan is a hit and miss I u to have a Nissan Sentra 2012 bought it back in 2014 and after 2 years it was giving me problems. But my mom owns a 2016 Nissan Altima and so far it’s been reliable just the paint sucks it’s already faded.
RIP Maxima, I love my 2016 Maxima but listening to him take off in Sport Mode and that God Awful CVT whine I'll never get used to it, its the car's one glaring flaw. Sport Mode exacerbates that horrible CVT noise, I never use it.
Wait til 50-60K when all the annoying problems set in. Rear clunk from the right side suspension. Rattle from the front left suspension. Wheel bearings in the front going out. Poor quality front rotors that won't last and pads not much better. Alcantara seats that rub and turn a lighter color. Radio that wants to turn off and stay off. Radio that will just start rotating the stations bar for no reason minutes at a time. The crappy setup for the in car filtration. The thin cheap carpet (get some WeatherTech liners now) that will wear a hole where your heel sits on the left side. The car is total garbage. Luckily I only paid $31K for a leftover 17 that was $40K.
i know i’m 5 months late, but i don’t know if nissan downgraded with the recent releases of the maxima, since i have a 2016 maxima platinum, and been driving it for a very long time, mileage is 160k and i still have no problems with it at all. still works like it was brand new. other than changing brakes and suspension, those were the only times where i had to do any repairs. leather seats still look brand new and still is as comfortable as it was back when it was purchased by my mom back in 2015. smoothest and most comfortable car i’ve ever driven. no weird noises from the car, radio works perfectly fine. sad that you didn’t have a good experience with the car.

I agree 100%
my dad used to drive this car, it’s nice to see this car is appreciated
thank you jay
This car is like butter, so damn smooth.
the ride quality?
The Bose sounds system sounds awesome
Yes its amazing!
I changed mines out with Focal Flax Evos, epic center and tire wheel sub by cerwin Vega. Bose was no match for it.

@@kyron2092 they are very good. I have the same in my old suv front and rear plus sub. The flax evo are a very worthy upgrade by a mile
The current Nissan Maxima is due a redesign & a traditional 8 spd transmission but overall amazing car looks stunning 😍.
I hope so. I also hope the Altima loses the CVT too.
@@brianlee9233 Bad news, the Maxima is dead, Nissan just nixed it for more Crossovers.
@@Spartan536how is the maxima dead if you just seen the maxima in this video please make it make sense 🤨🙄
@@Knglx Nissan is no longer producing the Maxima after 2023.
@@Spartan536 bro yes there are gonna keep producing maximas after 2023 they gonna be electric in 2024 please do your research and know what you talking bout 🙄😂
VQ Sounds 🤤
Terrific video Jay & can't wait to buy this car.

Good review & great Nissan.
I want SR for my first car 🤤 love NISSAN
Crazy how the nissan maxima has a better interior compared to infiniti q50.
The maxima even has cooled seats while the q50 doesn’t lol
Beautiful car!
Love how you do in depth break down on every detail, can you please make a video on the Nissan Titan Platinum Reserve
Never knew I needed this channel
The max had always been a favorite for me. Too bad I can't afford it. I am super jealous tho.
They are like $20k for a 3 year old one. Even I can afford one and pay it off in a year or two here in mexico
@@Brandon-uy1uv exactly! Depreciation on these cars are so bad you can snag one for 20-25k

The electric might just be AWD with instant TQ. I'm thinking 4.5-6 seconds 0-60 on the premium modle🎉
0:38 camrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I had a 2017! How do you get these cars? I see you keep them for the evening too😁
I always thought Nissan made a better car than Toyota
Looks just like the 2016
Front grill and headlights are the only difference
Because it’s the same generation
@@johnnellterrelllyric8166 to be honest I guess I m car blind I really cant tell the difference
@@romain198426 lol grill is different
Do you recommend 91 octane on this car ?
On this yes of course if you want the engine to last.
@@jaygtestdrives i want to buy one with 30k miles on it… Are they reliable ???
@@Therealpeter10 Buy it, super reliable, these naturally aspirated engines last forever especially if you take care of it!
@@jaygtestdrives I see so many complaints on cvt that holds me back.
@@Therealpeter10 Yeah I'm not a fan of CVTs neither but if you take care of it, it should last you a while, CVTs are meant for fuel efficiency so if you drive this conservative it should last you a while.
When they get discontinue this model
They need to throw the v6 in the Altima
8:00, hand slipped off the wheel, lol.😆
Yes because the steering gets super stiff while on reverse 🤔
@@jaygtestdrives Nissan really needs to improve on the steering experience.
so this one does have the cooled seats 😆
Would it be worth getting one of these or the Camry xse v6?
Camrys a lot more reliable and it’s also faster cuz it’s got a better CVT.
Does this have a CVT?
Yes
1 day, I buy used 2022 Nissan Maxima SR.
Nice car Nissan is a hit and miss I u to have a Nissan Sentra 2012 bought it back in 2014 and after 2 years it was giving me problems. But my mom owns a 2016 Nissan Altima and so far it’s been reliable just the paint sucks it’s already faded.
Do you prefer this over the Camry trd?
This one, better sound system, more tech but way more expensive
This is more comparable to the Avalon
Still a CVT transmission I'm assuming?
Yes but its an enhanced CVT Xtronic transmission from Nissan providing outstanding accelerations and great fuel economy.
RIP Maxima, I love my 2016 Maxima but listening to him take off in Sport Mode and that God Awful CVT whine I'll never get used to it, its the car's one glaring flaw. Sport Mode exacerbates that horrible CVT noise, I never use it.
Still with CD entrance??? Really??? 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻 In 2023 model 🤨
HQ sound is part of the luxury experience😊
I would rather much pay for the BMW M340i

@@kbyaghihello, looking to buy one of these. How is your maxima?
bro what action cam are you using and what settings?? is that 4k 120FPS???
It's just a go pro hero 8, 4k 60fps on go pro color, iso 400 low 800 max
