Except the CVT and handling of the Maxima totally kills it. The maxima can't be considered a serious competitor in the luxury sedan category using that pathetic CVT and horrible FWD layout. This only makes sense if you can buy it with big discounts. Because in short, it does not perform like a real sports sedan. Not even remotely so. If they don't want to do AWD then at least stick the Nissans 7 speed gear box and use RWD. Anything just not this setup.
@@anthonyreed3815 Yeah what's up with the huge grills on the toys. This one even worse with two more large grills alongside the big middle one. This front end is hilarious.

I drive a maxima for my job. I love it. Especially because the seats fit my back and I love the speed and acceleration when driving on the interstate or when needing to pass on a two lane road. My company is going to Toyota and I have ordered an Avalon. When test driving it I thought it was similar but I prefer the looks of the Maxima.
@@MrMagic-nw2tl this is true honda transmission problems and others as well come up at kind similar mile ranges but of course honda and those can last up to 200k miles at most if lucky you're better off getting a rav4 with a 8 speed instead of a CVT transmission or probably those 2019 tucsons as well with 8 speeds lol avoiding CVT in general is smarter anyone else is coping for what's to come soon

This guy is blinded by bias....only a mother will say that Toyota looks better. ...side or back, no matter the angle the Nissan looks way better and more up to date
ANT I agree, the Toyota grill is ridiculous, but it looks better from every other angle than the Maxima. As well, the Avalon does not have a shitty CVT transmission, and while Nissan does not have terrible reliability or resale value, Toyota is better on both counts. Of the 2, I’d definitely choose the Avalon.
🥰👍🏽I’m loving my 2016 Nissan Maxima, Platinum, it still turns heads every time I drive it.... this is 2020 and it only has a little over 10,000 miles on it!!!!👍🏽🥰
Truth. Maxima is so much nicer. The "Character lines" are way more visible and much nicer. The front of the Avalon is so goofy lol And the floating roof looks sick.
Purchased the 2019 Platinum Maxima and did compare with the Avalon. Having no children I loved the sportier feel of the Nissan. Your reviews are spot on and I appreciate your hard work in making vehicle buying easier for the rest of us. Thank you!

Mike Mike the maxima has a timing chain not a belt. Not to mention that you are referring to a problem with Maximas 12 years ago. What a stupid argument.
Two of the most stable and balanced cars that I've driven has to be an altima and maxima. They handle extremely well in all kinds of conditions. Something about a nissan that's just structured all around.
@@imsmarterthenurso7247 mine puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. I love the growl of that 3.5 at revs, and I prefer the stiff suspension over my wife's much softer riding Acura.

I Own a 2013 maxima cvt with 50k miles and no problems. The acceleration feels a lot more smooth and linear than the traditional auto transmission which I'm sure the AVERAGE person would prefer. So unless u plan on taking this car to the track or drag strip the cvt is not a big deal at all. People are just one track minded.
@@alisadeverteuil5632 I’m thinking of owning an sr too! I’ve heard many good reviews on it and apparently it’s one of the greatest CVT of Nissan/Infiniti. I test drove the SV and it’s really comfortable but the SR has a stiffer suspension.
I just bought the maxima 2017. So far I’m pleased. I’ve had it now 3 months and do feel it is a bit stiff in the seating, but previously owned a beetle and when I first sat in the maxima I felt comfort. Now that the newness has worn off that would be my only complaint. I need to keep in mind though that this a sportier car too.
HAHA Damn dude we get it. You hate the Maxima. Maxima looks sweet from all angles. Side lines rock it over the Avalon. I can't stand fake quad exhausts on either car. Try comparing the Maxima SL or SV trim instead of comparing the sport model to a touring model.
But the Avalon already does everything better in he luxury department. Feature for the buck, material and build quality, fit and finish, etc. ...I thought the Maxima's target market are teenage ricers with no real thought of what a true "4-Door Sports Car" is.
I agree personally. I like the maxima better. The SR trims do ride rougher, but I have an sv and think it rides pretty dang smooth. I've had toyotas the last 6 years, and the Nissan to me is way more fun and comfortable. Biggest problem with the maxima is it lacks back seat room
@@thecriticalthinkeroutsidet4947 I do notice that majority of these Maxima drivers speed and drive like assholes like they're trying to race...I stay back when I see one.
Oh God. The maximum looks so much better, it's so quick it's so sporty looking with lines that I've never seen on a car. Everything about Toyota says boring !!
Maxima has my vote. Never swayed by the CVT comments lol. 90% haven’t driven one and just listen to Scotty Kilmer. Very handsome redesign this year. There’s also no way the Avalon handles better, being so much longer.
Considering the more refined powertrain, lower center of gravity, more composed feel for a big sedan, TNGA chassis (versus the old Nissan D platform)... it does feel better in the handling department. Without trying too hard to dress up as something it's not.
@@f181234 I know, and I'm glad about it. To make matters worse is how the Maxima tries way too hard to be that, when it's not and never will be. ..and no, the Mazda3 isn't one either. Genuinely fun but not dream fun.
@@tom11zz884 2016!? A two year old car better NOT have transmission problems. My 11 year old car doesn't and the tranny fluid was never changed but the previous 2 owners. 08 Corolla S for anyone wondering.
I'll never own most of these cars, but I can't stop watching these videos! They actually help me decide what specific car I want to buy (or not buy) in the future. Sofyan is always great and the editing as well. Thanks for all the quality content!
These cars cant be compared. Avalon is more economical. Maxima is sporty. Owned 3 maximas and now have Avalon. In 2 years have had no problems at all. Nissan was another story hense why I dont have it anymore.
Just bought the 2019 Avalon XLE. Love it and really liking the bold grill...it’s a statement! Would never even consider the Nissan, for obvious reasons.
Zak M lmao your salty! I SAID WHAT I SAID!! The Avalon is shitty!!! Just like you😂😂 basic interior! The radio looks like a fucking polaroid tablet! The touch response is not good at all!! The car drivetrain is not impressive at all! They focused so much on the looks of the car instead of everything, as in (drivetrain, interior design, etc) We can talk specs but in this case the maxima has Already said everything that needed to be said! You and Toyota will have to come a lil harder next time! 🙃😌
nukkeles123 *lmao Your English is shitty, I believe you’re, was the word you were looking for. Idk wtf you’re talking about Avalon has one of the best power trains in the segment. Avalon producers 301 horsepower from a naturally aspirated v6 engine. I also believe you meant to say infotainment system and not radio. The infotainment system isn’t at all like a tablet like all other companies including fucking Nissan dumb ass. The real fucking tablet is in the Altima. But no I won’t see you talking about that cause you’re a biased little fuck who doesn’t know what the fuck he’s talking about. Toyota doesn’t need to come harder 🤣 Toyota already makes more money than Nissan and fucking Infiniti combined. Gtfoh*
@@nukkeles123 Maxima is now made by shitstain Renault, a car company that fails miserably at quality. When your shitty Maxima breaks down just hope someone in an Avalon comes driving by to lend you a hand. I had an old school 98 Maxima and it was awesome! I wouldn't own a newer Nissan if you gave it to me because their quality has went to shit. Hope you get at least 100k miles before it becomes a money sink.
I chose the Maxima because I wanted the sportier car, I know it is not a 4dsc, but it is a sports sedan. I did not go with the sr because I did not want the harsher ride and I am happy with my choice. I've got 45000 km and so far issue free. I actually like the cvt transmission, you can see the last clip of the video why. The maxima isn't the greatest off the line, but it is good when already rolling, especiallly around 80 km/hr (50 mph). I am sure i would probably like the avalon too, but I like the styling and performance of the nissan more.
I have a 2018 Maxima SL and I completely disagree with anyone who says it’s not a sports car, that thing leaves everyone in the dust. I’ve raced friends that have tuned BMWs and Mercedes and they can’t compete with my stock Maxima. Idk if it’s just mine but the Maxima is definitely a monster/sports car! It’s the perfect mix of power and luxury!
If you take away the two side parts of the big grill on the avalon and leave the middle section it will look INCREDIBLE !!! I edited one in a picture and wow it looks great.
I feel quite the opposite. I feel like the maxima looks to chunky to be a sports car. Very tall and short. The Avalon being longer and shorter and more sloped oozes sports sedan design
"Looks" is the keyword. Does everyone care only about looks these days? You sit on the inside when you drive it, inside looks and comfort is what matters most.
Xcellent review. Have owned Lexus ES for 15 years. Avalon is a Sport SEDAN. Maxima is a SPORT Sedan. Sporty vs. longer Nice Cruiser. Now I own a Maxima. Great two vehicles.
Just picked up a low mile 2016 Touring. Love all the room and quiet cabin compared to the Camry's we have been driving the last 16 years. The V6 motor is nice too.
Nice. The avalon will last a few hundred thousand more than the maxima and sell for more so you probably made the right choice long term. I almost got a 2012 Avalon but went with a TL instead
I had a 2005 Maxima, a 2012 Murano and now a 2018 Murano. All had the same key fob. Not a thing wrong with the CVT. They are smooth as silk. It doesn't require premium fuel. However, the Maxima needs stretched about 6".
I do agree with the sport exhaust you can hear that the exhaust itself sounds louder but I actually like the sounds of the Maximus engine slightly better. If the max my heading exhaust it was sound better but you have more of the engine instead of the exhaust
I've test driven both cars, to me the ride quality felt the same, but the Maxima is noticably faster. I'm sure the Avalon may have a little longer lifespan but to be honest modern Nissan's aren't as bad as people think. To me the Maxima wins.
I don’t own either one but still like the Avalon better, and planing on getting one in 2020, maximum cvt trans will give problems and if you want 300,000 + trouble free miles go Toyota that v6 and 8 speed won’t disappoint, I’ve been looking at these cars for awhile and the Avalon’s just look better to me inside and out
Love the gunmetal maxima and the cohesive look with the recent update. I think the Avalon front end is just crazy looking! Like a whale fishing for plankton.
Love your comparison & earlier Maxima review you did recently! We bought the same color Gun Metallic 2018 Maxima with identical Black rear spoiler & love the car, surprisingly quick even matching my Hemi Challenger 0 to 60 times. The Avalon is hideous, perhaps the worst new car design I've seen, I personally love the new & previous Maxima styling including the roofline, the subtle re-design is quite nice.
Just drove a used 2018 Maxima I plan to buy. Great car all the way around. Avalon is cushy and all, but just wallows around when driven. The Avalon front end and dash are seriously butt ugly. I couldn't stand the looks inside or out. The Maxima is one of those cars that when you park it and walk away, you just have to turn around and look at it.
: T. Thts what I’m saying they just using tht as an excuse chase is cheaper to make smh bunch of loosers regular autos get just as good or better than cvts
Maxima is perfectly designed up front. That dark Vader look for the Avalon is probably taking away from sales. It's an Avalon, historically for older buyers and younger ones won't buy because of the cars initial intended group. Maxima has never been unintended as a sports sedan, even in the 80s. They should do something different with the front. I like the back.
I do love the Maxima but I would have to go with the Avalon for the size, trunk capacity, rear seat leg room, styling, the silky smooth 3.5l V6, the conventional 8-spd automatic, and I know that it’s stupid but the dynamic turn signals I just love those.
Jared Moore Bought it pre-owned, off of lease. Only 10,000 miles on it and still under warranty. Running 87 octane does not void the warranty. I have the pearl blue SL, the platinum is a very nice choice.
@@charger3834bbl You are ABSOLUTELY right! It even says that on the fuel cap. Nissan would not advertise this on their fuel door/cap if it voided anything. You are good putting in 87!
Khoi Vo I’ve had mine for a year and a few months now. Still loving it. It’s very relaxing driving it home after a stressful day of work. It’s like therapy LOL. What year is yours?
I chose the Avalon over the maxima because it was more comfortable inside and the insurance was cheaper. Also no doubt it will be running much longer without repairs needed. Some care about more than how it looks and the 0-60.
He always bags on Nissans. I think his biggest complaint along with many others is he just doesn't like the CVT in the Maxima, and of course that makes him nag on every little thing on the car that he wouldn't do on other cars....so yes it is bias. He'd never admit though....
In spite of Sofyan's bias, possibly rooted in his family's Toyota ownership history, which as he admits to: I GOT A BURGUNDY MAXIMA AND I LOVE IT !!!!! Do yourselves a favour: BUY A MAXIMA
90 % of comments say maxima looks better.

HAHA Damn dude we get it. You hate the Maxima.
Maxima looks sweet from all angles. Side lines rock it over the Avalon. I can't stand fake quad exhausts on either car. Try comparing the Maxima SL or SV trim instead of comparing the sport model to a touring model.
You're right. Touring VS Sport trim is a bad comparison
VictorQuincanon The quad exhaust on the Avalon is actually real.
The maxima is much better looking!
VictorQuincanon Or the Platinum trim?
VictorQuincanon CRAPPY CVT MADE BY A CRAPPY COMPANY!!!!
Is it just me, but who else prefers the Maxima? I would buy the Maxima but in the plantnum trim since I’m more of a luxury car guy
But the Avalon already does everything better in he luxury department. Feature for the buck, material and build quality, fit and finish, etc.
...I thought the Maxima's target market are teenage ricers with no real thought of what a true "4-Door Sports Car" is.
aayan goverski Platnum Maxima gives you luxurious features but not the ride quality. It still has harsher/bumpier ride.
I agree personally. I like the maxima better. The SR trims do ride rougher, but I have an sv and think it rides pretty dang smooth. I've had toyotas the last 6 years, and the Nissan to me is way more fun and comfortable. Biggest problem with the maxima is it lacks back seat room
I love the Avalon too would go for a Maxima Platinum any day.
@@thecriticalthinkeroutsidet4947 I do notice that majority of these Maxima drivers speed and drive like assholes like they're trying to race...I stay back when I see one.
Oh God. The maximum looks so much better, it's so quick it's so sporty looking with lines that I've never seen on a car. Everything about Toyota says boring !!
Maxima has my vote. Never swayed by the CVT comments lol. 90% haven’t driven one and just listen to Scotty Kilmer. Very handsome redesign this year. There’s also no way the Avalon handles better, being so much longer.
Considering the more refined powertrain, lower center of gravity, more composed feel for a big sedan, TNGA chassis (versus the old Nissan D platform)... it does feel better in the handling department.
Without trying too hard to dress up as something it's not.
I'mJustFarhan these aren’t really sporty cars just mildly sporty a basic Mazda 3 could out handle these
Agreed!
I've heard no issues regarding the Maxima CVT issues since the 2016 redesign.
@@f181234 I know, and I'm glad about it. To make matters worse is how the Maxima tries way too hard to be that, when it's not and never will be.
..and no, the Mazda3 isn't one either. Genuinely fun but not dream fun.
@@tom11zz884 2016!? A two year old car better NOT have transmission problems. My 11 year old car doesn't and the tranny fluid was never changed but the previous 2 owners.
08 Corolla S for anyone wondering.
I'll never own most of these cars, but I can't stop watching these videos! They actually help me decide what specific car I want to buy (or not buy) in the future. Sofyan is always great and the editing as well. Thanks for all the quality content!
That race at 33:30 wow. Didn't expect that. Good for Nissan and CVT
Haha until it gets to 50,000 miles and the CVT doesnt work anymore.
Andrew M Nissan cvt’s are getting a bit better.
@@andybub45 i have had my maxima for over 3 years still runs like a champ never had a problem
@@SuperPain2011 yo 2017 maxima gang?
And @just4fun I drive a maxima, and the advantage of the cvt as you see is that there's pretty much instant power when you're on the highway.
These cars cant be compared. Avalon is more economical. Maxima is sporty. Owned 3 maximas and now have Avalon. In 2 years have had no problems at all. Nissan was another story hense why I dont have it anymore.
Four full-sized cars? Your credit card company probably loves you.
Just bought the 2019 Avalon XLE. Love it and really liking the bold grill...it’s a statement! Would never even consider the Nissan, for obvious reasons.
Nissan cars last forever. But so does every car if know how to take care of one.
Barry Corpuz nope. Not anymore, just like Jeep is now Fiat by ownership, Nissan now is Renault. Garbage.
Telling that you have to justify it here, you bought a ugly car
@God Trojan eye of the beholder
He’s really hating on the maxima! I own an 2016 maxima, and I love that car! I test drove the 2019 Avalon and I wasn’t pleased at all!!!
nukkeles123 you don’t have the lie just to justify the maxima 😂 just shut the fuck up nobody will believe you. The Avalon drives really good
I had the 2016 Nissan Maxima also and I absolutely loved it!!! He clearly doesn't like the Maxima but everyone has their own opinion.
Zak M lmao your salty! I SAID WHAT I SAID!! The Avalon is shitty!!! Just like you😂😂 basic interior! The radio looks like a fucking polaroid tablet! The touch response is not good at all!! The car drivetrain is not impressive at all! They focused so much on the looks of the car instead of everything, as in (drivetrain, interior design, etc) We can talk specs but in this case the maxima has Already said everything that needed to be said! You and Toyota will have to come a lil harder next time! 🙃😌
nukkeles123 *lmao Your English is shitty, I believe you’re, was the word you were looking for. Idk wtf you’re talking about Avalon has one of the best power trains in the segment. Avalon producers 301 horsepower from a naturally aspirated v6 engine. I also believe you meant to say infotainment system and not radio. The infotainment system isn’t at all like a tablet like all other companies including fucking Nissan dumb ass. The real fucking tablet is in the Altima. But no I won’t see you talking about that cause you’re a biased little fuck who doesn’t know what the fuck he’s talking about. Toyota doesn’t need to come harder 🤣 Toyota already makes more money than Nissan and fucking Infiniti combined. Gtfoh*
@@nukkeles123 Maxima is now made by shitstain Renault, a car company that fails miserably at quality. When your shitty Maxima breaks down just hope someone in an Avalon comes driving by to lend you a hand. I had an old school 98 Maxima and it was awesome! I wouldn't own a newer Nissan if you gave it to me because their quality has went to shit. Hope you get at least 100k miles before it becomes a money sink.
I chose the Maxima because I wanted the sportier car, I know it is not a 4dsc, but it is a sports sedan. I did not go with the sr because I did not want the harsher ride and I am happy with my choice. I've got 45000 km and so far issue free. I actually like the cvt transmission, you can see the last clip of the video why. The maxima isn't the greatest off the line, but it is good when already rolling, especiallly around 80 km/hr (50 mph). I am sure i would probably like the avalon too, but I like the styling and performance of the nissan more.
Just wait until I get my super charger in my 2019 avalon!!! Bring it
I have a 2018 Maxima SL and I completely disagree with anyone who says it’s not a sports car, that thing leaves everyone in the dust. I’ve raced friends that have tuned BMWs and Mercedes and they can’t compete with my stock Maxima. Idk if it’s just mine but the Maxima is definitely a monster/sports car! It’s the perfect mix of power and luxury!
I would go with Nissan Maxima I have one 3.5 V6 2013 it's amazing speed
im going to disregard your review because it sounds like you had your mind made up before it started
No one cares
TEAM MAXIMA, WHICH IS ALSO LIGHTER HELLO.
@razumfrackle f scotty
The nissan will fall appart
Esteban Gonzalez The car won’t, the CVT will😂 That’s bad I’m saying that and I’m a Nissan fan lmao
If it's still under warranty, who gives a shit?
@@80s_Boombox_Collector because then it goes out of warranty and needs a CVT.
If only the Maxima have the Avalon's mechanicals.... that would be perfect
If you take away the two side parts of the big grill on the avalon and leave the middle section it will look INCREDIBLE !!! I edited one in a picture and wow it looks great.
I PREFER THE MAXIMA I LOVE THAT CAR.
Alanzo Gopaul Ghetto neighborhoods leased with huge discounts.
Yeah looks great until that Jatco CVT decides to take a big juicy shit when you least expect it.
Maximas where In my city are known for ghetto drug dealers cars with blacked out tinted windows. Stay getting pulled over.
@@dapro2524 who hurt you? also, range rover and jaguar's are both own by Indian companies :)
It's garbage transmission will fail after few years
Sounds like you're a little biased, seems you like the Toyota brands.
agree!! fucking biased pos
The Avalon is just that much better..
I always luv my max and still do the MAX and I like the length not to long!! PERIODT
I have owned both. No comparison at all. Avalon is the best .
Agreed!
Maxima looks like a sports car
Toyota doesn’t
I feel quite the opposite. I feel like the maxima looks to chunky to be a sports car. Very tall and short. The Avalon being longer and shorter and more sloped oozes sports sedan design
Sports cars don't have CVTs :/
"Looks" is the keyword. Does everyone care only about looks these days? You sit on the inside when you drive it, inside looks and comfort is what matters most.
Looks aren’t everything! Toyota is by far a more reliable car. Nissan isn’t.
Xcellent review. Have owned Lexus ES for 15 years. Avalon is a Sport SEDAN. Maxima
is a SPORT Sedan. Sporty vs. longer Nice Cruiser. Now I own a Maxima. Great two
vehicles.
I could careless about the Avalon’s grill. I LOVE the headlights and taillights on my on my 2019 Avalon Touring. Not to mention the rims ❤️
Trust me it will live longer than the Maxima. I just purchased the TRD Avalon and the amount of compliments I received on the road is unbelievable.
Just picked up a low mile 2016 Touring. Love all the room and quiet cabin compared to the Camry's we have been driving the last 16 years.
The V6 motor is nice too.
Avalon is the better car handsdown, I love it..
Sorry guys I got rid of my Avalon cause I hated it.
Nice. The avalon will last a few hundred thousand more than the maxima and sell for more so you probably made the right choice long term. I almost got a 2012 Avalon but went with a TL instead
I had a 2005 Maxima, a 2012 Murano and now a 2018 Murano. All had the same key fob. Not a thing wrong with the CVT. They are smooth as silk. It doesn't require premium fuel. However, the Maxima needs stretched about 6".
Nissan has a better looking car, Toyota has a better overall product. Better reliability/resale value with the Avalon + better quality control
Realest comment 100%
I would take Maxima
Omg Avalon exhaust sounds good 🔥
mhm
I do agree with the sport exhaust you can hear that the exhaust itself sounds louder but I actually like the sounds of the Maximus engine slightly better. If the max my heading exhaust it was sound better but you have more of the engine instead of the exhaust
Fake exhaust?
I don't know about you but the Maxima sounded deeper to me and better. The toyota was higher pitched.
Sounds like shit. And on top of that, it got smoke at 33:33 Garbage. Toyota fan boys don't no trash.
Maxima hands down.
Maxima look a hundred time better......
You need your eyes checked
No he or she doesn’t bc that Nissan went all out on that car Toyota messed up
Eddie jr are u high?
Front of toyo is ugly af
Nissan rear is just ok
I've test driven both cars, to me the ride quality felt the same, but the Maxima is noticably faster. I'm sure the Avalon may have a little longer lifespan but to be honest modern Nissan's aren't as bad as people think. To me the Maxima wins.
I agree. Maxima is the flagship sedan for Nissan so dependability will be a top priority for it
I would buy the Toyota over the Nissan. I would rent the Nissan over the Toyota.
okay but this Avalon is still a MASSIVE improvement regardless!
I don’t own either one but still like the Avalon better, and planing on getting one in 2020, maximum cvt trans will give problems and if you want 300,000 + trouble free miles go Toyota that v6 and 8 speed won’t disappoint, I’ve been looking at these cars for awhile and the Avalon’s just look better to me inside and out
exactly!!! nissan's cvts are trash
Love the gunmetal maxima and the cohesive look with the recent update. I think the Avalon front end is just crazy looking! Like a whale fishing for plankton.
I just bought a 2016 Nissan Maxima Platinum and that car moves waay better than the 13
I would choose the Maxima I just like the design and the name don't get me wrong the Avalon is nice but the Maxima is just for me
Love your comparison & earlier Maxima review you did recently! We bought the same color Gun Metallic 2018 Maxima with identical Black rear spoiler & love the car, surprisingly quick even matching my Hemi Challenger 0 to 60 times. The Avalon is hideous, perhaps the worst new car design I've seen, I personally love the new & previous Maxima styling including the roofline, the subtle re-design is quite nice.
One of my favorite channels to get an insight on cars....but I could care less how the door sounds when I close it. Great channel tho!
damn this dude dont want to give nissan credit for anything lol
He is a Nissan Hater fo reelz
Avalon is the best
Rohullah Safadri Come on, I love Nissan, but the Camry over the Avalon all day long 😂

Cause Nissan sucks ass
because it’s a piece of shit car brand.
I love the maxima but hate those damn cvts!🤢
Beautiful Sinner. Very true, I own a Nissan but with a 1.8 4 cylinder and I don’t prefer its CVT.
Why can't they put in the 6speee manual :(
same here, If they remove that my answer would be completely different
33:26 What now?
Dima K More responsive. Not reliable lmfao 😂
I like nissa from the side plus i think overall it looks sporty
Did Toyota fire the designer of the Avalon's front grille already?
Hideous grill !
just can't get past the new Toyota grills these days...painful to look at...great car otherwise
Lol
right lol
CVT in maxima is not that bad honestly it’s just the longevity I would be concerned about
Just change transmission fluid early and you'll be fine
@Ty _
They are horrible to drive....like having a rubber band in between the engine and drive axle.
Just drove a used 2018 Maxima I plan to buy. Great car all the way around. Avalon is cushy and all, but just wallows around when driven. The Avalon front end and dash are seriously butt ugly. I couldn't stand the looks inside or out. The Maxima is one of those cars that when you park it and walk away, you just have to turn around and look at it.
My feeling exactly. The Avalon is inferior inside and out. Love my Maxima!
lololol can't wait till the notoriously bad transmission goes

Wait so the Avalon have better MPG than the Maxima ? I thought the cvt was suppose to do tht smh lies
Anderson Rodriguez Compainies have been found better ways to get better mpg than cvts.
The Avalon is a cvt wtf is you talking bout
: T. Thts what I’m saying they just using tht as an excuse chase is cheaper to make smh bunch of loosers regular autos get just as good or better than cvts
Official Bully did you even watch the video? The Avalon has an 8 speed Automatic lol
The Avalon have better highway miles, maxima better city miles. Maxima have better gas mileage combined
Maxima is perfectly designed up front. That dark Vader look for the Avalon is probably taking away from sales. It's an Avalon, historically for older buyers and younger ones won't buy because of the cars initial intended group. Maxima has never been unintended as a sports sedan, even in the 80s. They should do something different with the front. I like the back.
The Maxima is dying this year, unlike the Avalon there are no tears shed for the Nissan Maxima.
I do love the Maxima but I would have to go with the Avalon for the size, trunk capacity, rear seat leg room, styling, the silky smooth 3.5l V6, the conventional 8-spd automatic, and I know that it’s stupid but the dynamic turn signals I just love those.
Thanks for the review! Nissan Maxima wins to me.
NO
Sold my 91 Maxima 300 SE Auto last month
Due to lack of spares in good `ol South Africa,
Still crying.....
What a car!!!
The Maxima does not require premium fuel. It is only recommended for “maximum” performance. Mine runs just fine on 87
Jared Moore Bought it pre-owned, off of lease. Only 10,000 miles on it and still under warranty. Running 87 octane does not void the warranty. I have the pearl blue SL, the platinum is a very nice choice.
@@charger3834bbl You are ABSOLUTELY right! It even says that on the fuel cap. Nissan would not advertise this on their fuel door/cap if it voided anything. You are good putting in 87!
I always use "plus" in mine, it gets better mpg than the official numbers !
@@charger3834bbl Just got my pearl blue SL yesterday and loving it so far!!
Khoi Vo I’ve had mine for a year and a few months now. Still loving it. It’s very relaxing driving it home after a stressful day of work. It’s like therapy LOL. What year is yours?
Dude getting paid from the yota
Toyota...
I chose the Avalon over the maxima because it was more comfortable inside and the insurance was cheaper. Also no doubt it will be running much longer without repairs needed. Some care about more than how it looks and the 0-60.
Anyone else get the feeling he’s biased against the maxima?😂
It's obvious he hates Nissan... they should stop sending him vehicles to review
No. Because Avalon really is a higher quality car
He always bags on Nissans.
I think his biggest complaint along with many others is he just doesn't like the CVT in the Maxima, and of course that makes him nag on every little thing on the car that he wouldn't do on other cars....so yes it is bias. He'd never admit though....
Renair Francis I completely agree
DDC ll Still can’t beat a maxima tho!!!
Never thought Itll ever be a day I'd say this but id choose the Avalon
People they like Nissan because is not expensive hhhh Avalon is expensive but I like it I am waiting for 2020 Camry trd
In spite of Sofyan's bias, possibly rooted in his family's Toyota ownership history, which as he admits to:
I GOT A BURGUNDY MAXIMA AND I LOVE IT !!!!!
Do yourselves a favour: BUY A MAXIMA
