The newer Skyline design is disgusting. It's a great car but they managed to make it look try-hard. It's also a bit like the newer Subaru WRX being made to look like a Lancer.
I think this is one the the best looking cars ever i love the shape of it, i love the curve of the hood and how the rear body flares out a bit on the sides giving it that wide look from behind and just think the lines flow so well and the taillights still look great headlights are still nice too, love the interior as well, drives fast and smooth handling, has everything i want with the sunroof, heated seats heated steering wheel and backup camera, an amazing car for sure
I currently own this car. Her name is Maxine Smith 🤣🤣🤣 Maxine came with the sport platinum package! She’s pearl white with a black tinted glass top. The interior is tan. Since the dash is black, I put black floor mats down and removed the tan color. I put black rims with matching racing tires. I have a moon roof..but the front only opens. I also have a sunscreen in the back! Which comes in handy during the Summer months. It only had 26k miles when purchased the car. I’ve had regular maintenance and I’ve had no issues. It was worth every penny. And this review was 100% accurate! The only thing I don’t like is the ride is tougher. And I hate it when people pull up wanting to race. 😂😂😂 Please believe I give them what they want every time. We don’t race with high end sports cars because we know we will lose!!! My take off is hell in sport mode,but with Charger’s , Challenger’s , Mustang’s, & Camaro’s if it has a Hemi, it’s an SS, or 5.0....I don’t even waste my time! 🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂Fastest I’ve gone was 140 it’s 160 on the dash!!! 😈
Good review. I bought one very recently and absolutely love it. I love the mean look and amazing driving dynamics. This car is so fun to drive and handles like a beast.
I owned 2 maximas. A Chevy impala in between the two cars. 2003 Maxima- 2003 Chevy impala- 2010 Nissan Maxima. I'll just say this. The driving dynamics felt way better in the maximas than the impala. Cornering, to driving long windy roads the maxima always felt smooth!
Those that r saying these cars give problems, any car does if you don't change the fluids and filters... I have a 2007 with 182,000 miles, not 1 problem have I had out of it... I been a Nissan fan since the 1995-1999 Nissan Maximas... I do wish that my car had more get up, but she does go...
Tcho2100 The mileage is great...it uses premium which burns slower from what I've heard...tgatseems to be the case...I have no complaints whatsoever about gas mileage...my old 2005 impala burned gas much faster with a significantly less powerful engine...also I do not have the sport package...I have the limited edition package.
Still have a 3rd Gen, 1992 GXE. Just passed a smog check at 157k miles. Keyless entry, heated mirrors and automatic seatbelts, luxurious for a car built 26 yrs ago.
I have a 2011 Maxima I bought new back in 2011. I now have 121,600 miles on it and love it still! No problems at all! I average 24.7 mpg's on premium and up to 29 on the highway.
+Ameen Mujtabaa I average around 22 Miles per gallon on premium. If I drive 55 mph on the highway, I can get around 27-29 mpg's. I currently have 141,800 miles and zero issues with my car! Same battery even!
Thank-You another fully detailed Auto Review. I have been watching reviews from other reviewers, but yours still stand out to be the best. I owned a new 2010 Maxima Fully Loaded SV with Premium Package and I frankly loved the car, but the Lease was up and I leased a New Nissan Rouge SL-AWD . This 2013 Rouge is also a very nice car for it's class of SUV and I am thinking seriously of buying this car when the lease is up. But my heart still rests with the Maxima and I can't wait for your review of the new 2015 Maxima. Keep up the good work, your great.
Good review. I own this this car in the 2013 premium version. As a note, they put a cvt transmission for maximum fuel economy. Many car makers are putting in more gears (6 or 8 speeds) for the same reason. All that is is a step closer to a cvt with basically unlimited gears. It has a sport mode that gives it 6 set gear shift points programmed in so it feels more like a conventional transmission. . So, it is like two cars in one. A economy car in regular drive mode and a sport mode for performance. I traded in a 2013 v6 mustang, and mustang is 11 percent faster 0-60, but when both are in sport mode, the maxima feels faster. But, in reality, it is not. Also, as a note, 0 to 60 is faster in regular D mode "drive" than in sport mode. Sport mode just sounds better. Sport mode may cost you 2 or 3 percent on your mpg in sport mode. However, if you drive sensibly in sport mode, it gets near the same gas mileage , but less ever time you give it a hard acceleration than D mode would. Also, as a side note, a K&N drop in air filer gives you approximately 10 percent better gas mileage. I get 30 mpg on the highway. 0 to 60 in about 5.8 seconds with a 150 pound driver, 1 gallon of gas in the tank, at sea level, near perfect weather conditions, and performance tires. The cvt takes away from the "4 door sport car" theme but still a great car.
Had a 2014 for years with zero problems but when the problems came they all came. Window motors, ac, suspension components, transmission, heated and cooled seats, sunroof... everything shut down. I loved her but when she started giving up it was I had to do the same
I bought a 2014 exactly like this one in the video. All Black. I only drive it on the weekends. Had 86,000 miles when I got it and now has 106,000. Want to do something nice with it though. 7th Generation too!
I traded my truck today for a 14' Maxima 3.5SV , I never had a vehicle that was loaded (Nav, back up camera, leather, sunroof etc) so much technology. and embarrassing to say I couldn't find the gas tank latch.......lmao Found out there is no latch! But anyway car is pretty sweet, good power, steering is a bit stiff and suspension (like in the video)...
The sport package gives it a great look with nice performance to boot. I have one in a almost purple black color. It’s so awesome. One thing that spoiled me is the infotainment center. It’s embedded deep making the sun distraction impossible. In other cars, without the deep embedding, the sun makes it difficult to see.
I just bought this model with 71k on it for 9 thousand out the door for my son. I was a little hesitant but I heard the CVT paired with the 6 cylinder maxima for 2014 hardly had any issues. Hopefully it is reliable for my son.
Change the transmission fluid and filter (do not flush. Do a drain and fill) every 30-50k miles and you should be stress free. I had to change the A/c compressor on mine which is also a common issue with these.
@@anthonyharipersaud6862 I did the same thing. I drained whatever came out from the transmission fluid and I changed the filter, the pan filter and another off the side behind the driver side wheel. Then I refilled whatever came out and left it as that. The ac compressor was out so I had a new one installed. It was still idling rough so I scanned it with an OBD 2 and got a cylinder misfire. Changed the spark plugs because it was easy and cheap and checked the coils but the coils were good. Still had a rough idle issue after that and took it to a shop. They diagnosed and said I had a bad fuel injector for that cylinder and wanted 800 dollars. I went home and did the injector myself for 39 and replaced the intake gasket for 15 since I was already there. It is still running rough but I think I just need to do a throttle relearn and hopefully that will take care of the issues
This was my dream car since I was a teenager. I own the sv premium model. Whoever originally bought it left the original sales receipt. Bought literally all the bells and whistles nissan offers for this car. Borderline luxury. I paid $10k for 90k miles and the original owner paid $39k for it brand new. Freaking DEAL if you ask me. Only crashed once (never totaled). I cannot state how much I love this car. Anyone looking for modding their car for more hp heres my list from personal experience. I will admit if your looking to mod this car for performance its hard to really get the hp up their. But if money is no issue..zf You can get stuff like a CAI (I recommend k&n or AEM) (if you get a cai I recommend you get a bumper duct and run a tube to it because if not its basically a hot air intake with negative performance gain without cold air), performance crankshafts, high flow cats, muffler delete (not my cup of tea), and ofcoarse ecu tune (which I recommend for everyone, theirs a complete difference after tunning your ecu) (or flashing), also get a new intake manifold because the stock is trash. If you want a turbo or supercharger you'll need a vq35de model. You WILL NEED to swap the transmission. And a intercooler your looking at atleadt $3k. You'll eventually NEED to repalce the transmission with a regular automatic or a manual altima 6 speed if your trying to get your hp in the 400 or above range. Its REQUIRED. You cvt WILL BLOW. No exceptions! Hope that helps someone. Took me a LONG time to find a list of performance parts you can mod this car with.
I just bought a silver version of this package, for 14,000 w/75,000miles, it’s my 2nd owned maxima last one was only a 99. But I love this damn car. Thanks for the review bro 😎
I didn't find that much torque-steer personally. Keep the wheel straight, it is in sport mode. If you plant your foot and take off with the wheel a bit crooked you could be in for a bit of a surprise.
@@temimayor7660 I just bought a 2014 Pearl White Maxima with 30,000 Miles. Had a 2001 years ago, was a very good car. So when i started car shopping bought a Month Ago, was looking for another Maxima. Definitely wanted a 2009-2014 in White with Leather and Low Miles. Found exactly what i was looking for. Spent about $5000 more than what i was planning on, but found exactly the model i was looking for. Pearl White, Fully Loaded, Excellent Condition, and Low Miles. Had it for a Little over a Month now, and No Issues whatsoever, Absolutely Love it so far. The CVT Transmission is taking a while to get used to, but i think it's a Good Idea for Fuel Mileage, isn't the Best idea for Performance, but I'm planning on going with the Stillen Cat Back Exhaust, just for a Little more Sound, there exhaust system has a nice sound, just a little more than Stock. Been listening to quite a few on TH-cam, with all these Muffler and Resonator Deletes, which i think sound horrible. Like the Stillen Sound, will probably be going with there Cold Air Intake Also, probably see about a 10-15 HP improvement, but just looking for a Little Louder Exhaust Note. But So far Absolutely Loving my 2014 Don't regret buying it one bit.
The only thing I don't like about mine is the CVT transmission. The car does not roll freely going downhill. The engine/transmission actually "brake" the car going downhill, gaining rpm's and slowing it without touching the brakes. This might be a nice feature pulling a gooseneck trailer but it has no place on an automobile.
Temi Mayor I’m loving it so far, has a lot of power for a “family sedan”. Super fun to drive. The CVT takes a little while to get use to but I actually enjoy it. The car does have a good amount of torque steer though but it doesn’t take away from the fact that is a great car. Looks amazing too it’s like a baby GTR
I really appreciate your reviews, very informative, you stay on the car, I'm not a fan of the camera being on the reviewer as opposed to the car and or the drive, tho you do it well, always on point. Thanks!
Just traded in my 2011 genesis coupe 2.0T (63k miles) for the certified used 2014 maxima sv (14.8k miles clean car fax) for $17k and love the smooth ride with power in the pocket to pass semis and slow drivers. Small issue is that I did not have the nav package so no bluetooth media (phone only) and ended up buying a BT transmitter for $30 so no biggie! Tis better to wait a few years as I would not want to pay new car price personally.
Luke Cai I bought mine in de December!! I love it. It has pretty much everything except navigation which I would never use anyway. I have it in my wife’s Buick Enclave and we have used it maybe twice. I love the Bluetooth and backup camera though. It is such a fun car. Hope it lasts me for 200,000+ miles. I use mobile 1 full synthetic so that should help. And I do all the maintenance it recommends.
I have the 2014 with the sport package and love it. It’s super fast yet gets good gas mileage. It has all the bells and whistles I need. Including heated and air conditioned seats. I have a custom black grill that really sets it apart. The opening looks bigger and more aggressive. I have always liked Maxima’s. I have owned three over the last several years. Anyone that doesn’t like this car is an idiot. And by the way, this car is way better than the Altima. No comparison. Everything about this model is aggressive. The hood, flared fenders. And wide wheel base and tires. I also like the paddle shifters. This is my favorite Maxima design. I even prefer it over the new body style which I’m not crazy about.
You can use the paddle shifters in any mode, the difference is in sport mode the paddle shifters only control the transmission- in normal drive mode after some time the computer control will resume.
Like idk if they weren’t using JATCO Automatics back then (not that JATCO automatics are that bad) but it’s so hard to find a bad review of this car, even for reliability. I believe JD Power gave the 2009-2014 models a 4.5 out of 5 star predicted reliability rating. I guess they were right.🤷♂️😂
Everytime I notice this Nissan Maxima in a traffic (2010-2014 models), I recall her "Ferrari Testarossa" style sibling (didn't you recognise this perfect body?), and I am falling in love again and again... I couldn't get it in time - in 2011 -2014 - when I was unemployed... Now I've got my own company and this thing will be my lovely baby soon along with the Lancia Stratos, Ferrari Countach, Testarossa, Lambo Diablo, Dodge Stealth, and Nissan GTR (just funny even to think about the next models of the mentioned companies - you will never dare to drive more than 100 mph on the highway when police is sleeping :)
The maxima always has a rougher ride than the altima or versa, maxima's come with a semi sport suspension which rides like shit. I considered buying comfier struts many times but I just got use to it now. I have a maxima.
If it had a conventional transmission verses a cvt, then the 4DSC labeling would work. The 4DSC "4 door sports car" label is not accurate for a cvt setup. But, is is fast , has sharp handling, and sounds great. Some comments that it is smaller than the Altima, Accord, and Camry on the inside, but that is something I personally like. That makes it feel a little bit more sporty sitting inside , and looks more sporty on the outside. Along with the sports car theme, is has flared front and rear fenders, and my 2013 sv premium even has rear bolstered seats. I really like this car and the longer I have it, the more I like. As an owner, I find the small things this car has that are just well designed touches. Needless to say, it is a quality luxury car.
Try a G37 back to back - I did and preferred the Maxima - even though the G was a 6 speed - the shifter feel, clutch engagement felt unrefined. And the G's interior wasn't up to the same level as the maxima
@@NileshR12 hell nah, do gs come with heated staring wheel? Do gs come withe the audio ports so you can play DVD and video games? Do gs have the same back seat space as the Maxima do they come with heated and cool seats ect,?? The max looks just like the g but better the g just has a diff chassis and 328 hp...dats it.
Didn't they market this car as like an alternative to family men who owned a 370z? I certainly see lots of design cues that are similar to the Z. Interior and exterior too a little bit.
***** really? The G37s and 370z are almost the same thing. Same engine and are almost tuned the same. Its a 370z in a fancy tux. The Maxima is FWD and CVT :s
Nissan sell a ton of these. In my hometown, the Maxima is a very popular choice for some reason. Yes, it's need a redesign, but I think it's a nice looking sedan, and it probably going to age pretty well over the years. I probably will choice the Altima V6 for better fuel economy.
If you got the "guap" go for the Infinity!! More juice more goodies....If not get the Maxima not to hard on the pocket and is right behind the Infinity. The Maxima I've liked (never owned....yet) for a long time, to me it is a sports sedan, its a Big Coupe.... which is what I own now so right up my alley lol!! I'm sure there are Way better cars and other things but I dig this ride. Love the all around info and your take on this car....cause I still want one lol!!
I prefer the 2000-2003, 2009-2014, and the 2016-2023 Nissan Maximas. My dad had the 2000 Nissan Maxima SE. I also think the this 2014 Maxima 3.5 SV in particular is the best.
Not sure why Nissan still continued this generation until 2014. It should've been redesigned in 2014 instead. Compared to the 9th gen Honda Accord, this car is outdated and overpriced. I'd take a 2014 Honda Accord Touring instead.
We have purchased a 2012 maxima and love I get 23 to 27 mmpg one tank of gas about 32$ fills up at 2.76 a gallon wouldn't tradee it for nothing else. Looking into a second.
nice car and the spare tire is a beautiful thing to see I absolutely HATE any company that puts in a fix a flat kit you should guarantee ALWAYS get at least a donut you dont need a full spare even just something to get you going to a shop
This gen Maxima is honestly the best looking Nissan to date that is actually obtainable (so that excludes the Skyline)
fact
Agreed...mine looks exactly like this one.
The newer Skyline design is disgusting. It's a great car but they managed to make it look try-hard. It's also a bit like the newer Subaru WRX being made to look like a Lancer.
Yes! Shades of the 1999 to 2002 grand Prix.
I disagree the the 7th gen is the best 🔥🔥🔥🔥
These cars are actually fast. I never would have paid it any attention until I test drove one.
a trick : you can watch movies on flixzone. Been using them for watching a lot of movies these days.
@Paxton Hunter Yup, I've been using Flixzone for since november myself :D
@@paxtonhunter6308 wtf is your comment in reference too?
The maxima is one of th fast family cars actually
Love it
Getting one soon, the newer ones don’t look as good as these I love this model
Me too, and I agree, this design can stand up for some time to come…

With the thrill of a sports car in a four-door sedan form, the Nissan Maxima delivers exhilarating performance with the soul of being an Infiniti.

Changed the spark plugs because it was easy and cheap and checked the coils but the coils were good. Still had a rough idle issue after that and took it to a shop. They diagnosed and said I had a bad fuel injector for that cylinder and wanted 800 dollars. I went home and did the injector myself for 39 and replaced the intake gasket for 15 since I was already there. It is still running rough but I think I just need to do a throttle relearn and hopefully that will take care of the issues
I think my shit be acting the same
They still look good for 2014
This was my dream car since I was a teenager.
I own the sv premium model. Whoever originally bought it left the original sales receipt. Bought literally all the bells and whistles nissan offers for this car. Borderline luxury.
I paid $10k for 90k miles and the original owner paid $39k for it brand new. Freaking DEAL if you ask me. Only crashed once (never totaled).
I cannot state how much I love this car.
Anyone looking for modding their car for more hp heres my list from personal experience.
I will admit if your looking to mod this car for performance its hard to really get the hp up their. But if money is no issue..zf
You can get stuff like a CAI (I recommend k&n or AEM) (if you get a cai I recommend you get a bumper duct and run a tube to it because if not its basically a hot air intake with negative performance gain without cold air), performance crankshafts, high flow cats, muffler delete (not my cup of tea), and ofcoarse ecu tune (which I recommend for everyone, theirs a complete difference after tunning your ecu) (or flashing), also get a new intake manifold because the stock is trash.
If you want a turbo or supercharger you'll need a vq35de model. You WILL NEED to swap the transmission. And a intercooler your looking at atleadt $3k.
You'll eventually NEED to repalce the transmission with a regular automatic or a manual altima 6 speed if your trying to get your hp in the 400 or above range. Its REQUIRED. You cvt WILL BLOW. No exceptions!
Hope that helps someone. Took me a LONG time to find a list of performance parts you can mod this car with.
Can you do a manual transmission swap on these?
Hello I hope you read this comment but did you buy it from the dealership or buy it from someone else?
I just bought a silver version of this package, for 14,000 w/75,000miles, it’s my 2nd owned maxima last one was only a 99. But I love this damn car. Thanks for the review bro 😎
How’s it holding up?
Any update?
I’m wondering as well
How do you like it and how is the reliability? I just bought one for 9k and 71k miles on it for my son
Traded in my 14 Focus in on one today love it so far
How’s it holding up?
I didn't find that much torque-steer personally. Keep the wheel straight, it is in sport mode. If you plant your foot and take off with the wheel a bit crooked you could be in for a bit of a surprise.
Just purchased one in February 23 I love it 👍
just got a used 14 Maxima. One thing I noticed its fun to drive. Other than that is good, nothing great until you actually drive it
How’s it holding up?
@@crimson7488 hey its the same guy but different account. So I eneded up selling it quickly. Nothing wrong with it just didn't need it.
Had my 2014 Sport since new and still love it!
How you enjoying it so far. I'm considering this maxima as against the 2007 lexus gs350. Hows the cvt transmission as well?
@@temimayor7660 I just bought a 2014 Pearl White Maxima with 30,000 Miles. Had a 2001 years ago, was a very good car. So when i started car shopping bought a Month Ago, was looking for another Maxima. Definitely wanted a 2009-2014 in White with Leather and Low Miles. Found exactly what i was looking for. Spent about $5000 more than what i was planning on, but found exactly the model i was looking for. Pearl White, Fully Loaded, Excellent Condition, and Low Miles. Had it for a Little over a Month now, and No Issues whatsoever, Absolutely Love it so far. The CVT Transmission is taking a while to get used to, but i think it's a Good Idea for Fuel Mileage, isn't the Best idea for Performance, but I'm planning on going with the Stillen Cat Back Exhaust, just for a Little more Sound, there exhaust system has a nice sound, just a little more than Stock. Been listening to quite a few on TH-cam, with all these Muffler and Resonator Deletes, which i think sound horrible. Like the Stillen Sound, will probably be going with there Cold Air Intake Also, probably see about a 10-15 HP improvement, but just looking for a Little Louder Exhaust Note. But So far Absolutely Loving my 2014 Don't regret buying it one bit.
@@badass6.0powerstroke10 Nice... actually I since got a 2008 lexus gs350 AWD and I love it.

12:32 look at dude out the window😂
I could listen to you all day
The only thing I don't like about mine is the CVT transmission. The car does not roll freely going downhill. The engine/transmission actually "brake" the car going downhill, gaining rpm's and slowing it without touching the brakes. This might be a nice feature pulling a gooseneck trailer but it has no place on an automobile.
Just bought one yesterday. Beautiful
How you enjoying it so far. I'm considering this maxima as against the 2007 lexus gs350. Hows the cat transmission as well?
Temi Mayor I’m loving it so far, has a lot of power for a “family sedan”. Super fun to drive. The CVT takes a little while to get use to but I actually enjoy it. The car does have a good amount of torque steer though but it doesn’t take away from the fact that is a great car. Looks amazing too it’s like a baby GTR
@@jaydubb4867 thanks for the reply. I'm surely considering it
@@jaydubb4867 what do People think of the car?
Muh stackz everybody loves it so far
Just bought my dad's SV and I love it :)
7th gen maxima is the only one I like tbh😅 looks eye catching especially on black like this one on the video🔥
Always liked this car, will forever regret not getting this instead of my old Nissan Rogue. Got a BMW now
BMW is trash.
I really appreciate your reviews, very informative, you stay on the car, I'm not a fan of the camera being on the reviewer as opposed to the car and or the drive, tho you do it well, always on point. Thanks!
Just traded in my 2011 genesis coupe 2.0T (63k miles) for the certified used 2014 maxima sv (14.8k miles clean car fax) for $17k and love the smooth ride with power in the pocket to pass semis and slow drivers. Small issue is that I did not have the nav package so no bluetooth media (phone only) and ended up buying a BT transmitter for $30 so no biggie! Tis better to wait a few years as I would not want to pay new car price personally.
tonytonez nice! I’m actually going to the dealership today to get this 2014 maxima
Welcome to the Team #TeamMaxima and thanks for the info about the BT Transmitter 👍🏾
Luke Cai I bought mine in de December!! I love it. It has pretty much everything except navigation which I would never use anyway. I have it in my wife’s Buick Enclave and we have used it maybe twice. I love the Bluetooth and backup camera though. It is such a fun car. Hope it lasts me for 200,000+ miles. I use mobile 1 full synthetic so that should help. And I do all the maintenance it recommends.
How’s it holding up?
@@100fredkrueger How’s it holding up?
Got one a year ago! Love it so much
Still my first used Nissan sedan I can buy.
love this car looks great
I have the 2014 with the sport package and love it. It’s super fast yet gets good gas mileage. It has all the bells and whistles I need. Including heated and air conditioned seats. I have a custom black grill that really sets it apart. The opening looks bigger and more aggressive. I have always liked Maxima’s. I have owned three over the last several years. Anyone that doesn’t like this car is an idiot. And by the way, this car is way better than the Altima. No comparison. Everything about this model is aggressive. The hood, flared fenders. And wide wheel base and tires. I also like the paddle shifters. This is my favorite Maxima design. I even prefer it over the new body style which I’m not crazy about.
You can use the paddle shifters in any mode, the difference is in sport mode the paddle shifters only control the transmission- in normal drive mode after some time the computer control will resume.
Like idk if they weren’t using JATCO Automatics back then (not that JATCO automatics are that bad) but it’s so hard to find a bad review of this car, even for reliability. I believe JD Power gave the 2009-2014 models a 4.5 out of 5 star predicted reliability rating. I guess they were right.🤷♂️😂
I have this model year same package just silver i had zero issues with it besides regular maintanace she at 120k miles
I always wondered why this thing had a 3.5
Thx GOD we've got a 2013 maxima.
This model looks butefull more then 2016 2014 👍 like a master beast beat and destroy the road I have 2012 same shape
Everytime I notice this Nissan Maxima in a traffic (2010-2014 models), I recall her "Ferrari Testarossa" style sibling (didn't you recognise this perfect body?), and I am falling in love again and again... I couldn't get it in time - in 2011 -2014 - when I was unemployed... Now I've got my own company and this thing will be my lovely baby soon along with the Lancia Stratos, Ferrari Countach, Testarossa, Lambo Diablo, Dodge Stealth, and Nissan GTR (just funny even to think about the next models of the mentioned companies - you will never dare to drive more than 100 mph on the highway when police is sleeping :)
Didn't they rap about the Maxima back in the 90's? It was a baller car in its heyday.
And he Lexus GS
@@picklejay7822 true jay z had the old lexus gs in the dead presidents music video and tupac had a black maxima in the i get around video.
Plus the Infiniti Q45
@@Blackout_1692 yep Nas mentioned the infiniti q45 in his lyrics
he said the Altima has a better ride, no way
The maxima always has a rougher ride than the altima or versa, maxima's come with a semi sport suspension which rides like shit. I considered buying comfier struts many times but I just got use to it now. I have a maxima.
Ya the maxima is more of a sports car especially for the limited edition package I have, it has a sport tuned suspension
6:48 "the center armrest is very leather stitched" ..strange thing to say.
This year Maxima was crazy cuz even with all the bells and whistles you're still missing items for the tech package
If it had a conventional transmission verses a cvt, then the 4DSC labeling would work.
The 4DSC "4 door sports car" label is not accurate for a cvt setup. But, is is fast , has sharp handling, and sounds great. Some comments that it is smaller than the Altima, Accord, and Camry on the inside, but that is something I personally like. That makes it feel a little bit more sporty sitting inside , and looks more sporty on the outside. Along with the sports car theme, is has flared front and rear fenders, and my 2013 sv premium even has rear bolstered seats. I really like this car and the longer I have it, the more I like. As an owner, I find the small things this car has that are just well designed touches. Needless to say, it is a quality luxury car.
I like mine it's has enough power and it's still simple with all the crazy tech that nobody needs or uses....
You do an excellent review. Very very well done!
I'd like to have one of these, but would much rather have a g37
Try a G37 back to back - I did and preferred the Maxima - even though the G was a 6 speed - the shifter feel, clutch engagement felt unrefined. And the G's interior wasn't up to the same level as the maxima
Said no one ever
Michael Smith How was the G sedan's interior not up to the same level of Maxima?
@@NileshR12 hell nah, do gs come with heated staring wheel? Do gs come withe the audio ports so you can play DVD and video games? Do gs have the same back seat space as the Maxima do they come with heated and cool seats ect,?? The max looks just like the g but better the g just has a diff chassis and 328 hp...dats it.
Thank you so much this was so informative and interesting I loved it!!!
Didn't they market this car as like an alternative to family men who owned a 370z? I certainly see lots of design cues that are similar to the Z. Interior and exterior too a little bit.
Nope, that was the g37
***** exactly!
***** really? The G37s and 370z are almost the same thing. Same engine and are almost tuned the same. Its a 370z in a fancy tux. The Maxima is FWD and CVT :s
too bad it has a rubbish transmission...they could at least offer a dual clutch or a ZF unit.
assassin72 agreed i missed the good ol days when the maxima could be had with a stick also
Nissan sell a ton of these. In my hometown, the Maxima is a very popular choice for some reason. Yes, it's need a redesign, but I think it's a nice looking sedan, and it probably going to age pretty well over the years. I probably will choice the Altima V6 for better fuel economy.
I love my 14 maxima especially when you put it in drive sport
But sport mode cant save it from 2003 6speed maxima.
Cedric Miller no one cares about your 03 6 speed it can eat my dust
@@vel6979 are you sure lol i bet that cvt lose on top end
@@vel6979 we can line them both up and find out tho
Cedric Miller dude line it up at the crusher
Fantastic video! Very concise and to the point
Car is clean asf
The torque steer will always be amplified if you are at wide op throttle while turning.
really looking forward to the new maxima
Its trash
@@ItzL0s29 why so I was thinking about getting one
My is a dark blue 2012 and I love it to death!!
If you got the "guap" go for the Infinity!! More juice more goodies....If not get the Maxima not to hard on the pocket and is right behind the Infinity. The Maxima I've liked (never owned....yet) for a long time, to me it is a sports sedan, its a Big Coupe.... which is what I own now so right up my alley lol!! I'm sure there are Way better cars and other things but I dig this ride. Love the all around info and your take on this car....cause I still want one lol!!
I prefer the 2000-2003, 2009-2014, and the 2016-2023 Nissan Maximas. My dad had the 2000 Nissan Maxima SE. I also think the this 2014 Maxima 3.5 SV in particular is the best.
Those are the same window buttons as my '07 Sentra.
The only thing I initially didn’t like about my maxima is that it didn’t have a prestigious badge 😂 I still can’t get over that it’s a Nissan
Not sure why Nissan still continued this generation until 2014. It should've been redesigned in 2014 instead. Compared to the 9th gen Honda Accord, this car is outdated and overpriced. I'd take a 2014 Honda Accord Touring instead.
One of my dream cars.
We have purchased a 2012 maxima and love I get 23 to 27 mmpg one tank of gas about 32$ fills up at 2.76 a gallon wouldn't tradee it for nothing else. Looking into a second.
southmemphisbro27 23 city with a v6? The fuck?? I need to get myself one of these

@@crimson7488 2012 Maxima still alive and kicking just serviced the CVT transmission and New Rad, and a brake job we at 118K now no regrets
Good review & great Nissan.
I'm always looking out for you know when I drive around. Man do I spend a lot of time around Connecticut Avenue in that in those parts where you're at
Nissan could drop Infinity since it is not selling and convert Maxima to RWD for differentiation.
mountainhobo six twin turbo rwd would be a beast!
i love all of your videos
That navigation system looks like the ones Honda used in 2005.
I would tint ( a reasonable amount that looks good but won't get me pulled over ) the windows if I owned that exact car.
Boiiii i own a 2014 3.5 s and it has auto headlights
I maybe maxima nation 2marrow fingers cross dual panel roof 23k miles pearl white for 21 grand!!
Hope you got it that was great deal 3 years ago
GOOD REVIEW & GREAT CAR.
Will You test the new Maxima ?:) I think it looks pretty good :)
Stellar review.
so a front wheel drive can't be a sports car? type r, si, ser, focus st/rs, pulsar....?
Ppl just wanna hate🤷🏾♂️
nice car and the spare tire is a beautiful thing to see I absolutely HATE any company that puts in a fix a flat kit you should guarantee ALWAYS get at least a donut you dont need a full spare even just something to get you going to a shop
I LOOVEEE IT!!!!
The two things I dislike about my 2009 Maxima is feeling the road and the noise. I was very disappointed about the ride and noise.
Do you still have the car?
Dem rims doe.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do the 2002 Isuzu video as throwback or something would love to hear what you have to say about it
