Saddest thing nissan did was putting a CVT in the maxima.
sick name my dude
Thats because of the q50
This is why the q50 doesn’t have to clean the house 🏠 on Saturday mornings, and it gets to wake up late and skid dinner in the house of Nissan
@@demetriusjohnson6827.. just picked up the 2023 Q50 AWD . This is the best car I've ever driven so far. I took it slow for the first 1,000 now hitting 8,000 .
There's nothing wrong with the cvt in a Maxima. Have you even driven one? Driven one with it in sport mode? My guess, you haven't. I own a 22' Maxima. I love it.
People will miss the iconic Maxima.😢 I still have hope it’ll come back. Nissan is good at making designs that look good ten years later.
hopefully they will maybe bring it back in the near future
@@carsunlocked Yes.
..they are good at making designs that last 10yrs later but not good at making sound business decisions. I'm currently restoring a 87 300X and a 1993 300ZX NA/5SPDS. Getting much satisfaction in doing so, but I've always hated some of Nissans business decisions.
@@PopsRacer61 Yeah, I can’t agree with some of their strategy, but the cars they make are good.
@@mrgurulittle7000 ..hiring C. Ghosn was both a blessing and a curse. He saved the company from bankruptcy in 1999 but later was charged with a huge misappropriation of funds scandal. A damn crook in other words. The word is currently, as of a yr ago...Nissan has turned things around. We'll see!
My first ever special moment with the Maxima Nissan Experience was when I first laid my eyes on a 2007 Nissan Maxima SE All Black ❤️ with the 7 spoke rims , the quad exhaust, the All black interior, the moon roof , the push button open doors , the stove style push button , the 3.5 Engine , the front grill the back wing IT WAS MENT TO FROM THAT MOMENT ON
ye a that certainly was a impressive model year
@Cars Unlocked bruh I could leave the car running , lock it from the outside, take the key fob with me and have no problem with it AND IT WAS AHEAD OF ITS TIME FOR A 2007 MODEL
I got a 2007 Maxima SL for my first car and not gonna lie it is pretty good for a 07 car got some luxury features i cant live without like the power seats/wheel, heated steering wheel, the door push buttons are amazing and I just repainted it and bought the spoiler and a mesh grille coming soon
NISSAN IS PATHETIC FOR DISCONTINUING THIS ICONIC CAR.
sad to see it go
I love my maxima platinum. Wouldn't want an altama. No comparison in the two.
thanks for watching
100% correct!! We have both and the Maxima is faster, handles better, interior space is nicer and its feels more substantial. Way nicer car!!
You couldn't give me an Altima, the Maxima is tops.
I hate that they are dropping the Maxima... I just traded my 2017 Maxima for a new 2023. I do not like driving a 4 cylinder automobile!
thanks for watching
You always see people complain about the cvt on these cars who have never deiven them but i have hever seen someone who owns or driven them especially the newer knes complai. About the cvt. Im convinced most kf the complaints on the internet are from kids who done even drive. I have a 2013 maxima with cvt and have had 0 problems.
thats awesome thanks for watching and yes hard to gauge whether the complaints are warranted
I just bought this exact car two weeks ago and, holy shit, do I love it...sleek and sexy and drives amazingly! Sport mode is great on back roads too...had to have one since this is the last year, sad to see it go...but so glad I'll have it for years to come....
Say what you want about this car but I think this car is solid.
it sure is!
It is for sure, it's a fantastic car.
As someone who has owned the 22 Maxima SR in super black for about 18 months now, I must say I still love the car the same I did the day I got it. I sold Nissans for 4 years & sold it to myself. As far as the CVT talk, I get it, but I love the power & drive. I’ve beaten quite a few vehicles on the road I honestly didn’t expect to beat 😂 all in all the luxury,style & power still makes me excited to drive it daily. But most importantly…THE BOSE SOUND SYSTEM with BOSE center stage IS INCREDIBLE! I have sat in almost every model & trim or vehicle in the industry (that isn’t exotic) & I don’t know of any vehicle that’s stock sound system BEATS it. Some stock systems come close & are similar, but all in all I love my Maxima, if you’re considering it, DO IT!
thats awesome great input
I was looking into this vehicle. Torn between getting this one or wait for the 2024 Camry or Sonata. The CVT thing is all I hear about when it comes to Nissan that’s why I haven’t bought one yet lol
Buick cadillacs I'm sure have better
Don't even hesitate to buy one, they are awesome trannies.@@415alkeez
If the Nissan Maxima came with AWD, I would definitely buy one. I love a sedan with a V6 engine and I like the AWD for the Winter time. Beautiful car.
I totally agree!
Yes they are making a mistake , the Max sales were declining because they have built the same car for 7 years only changes front lights , back lights , android auto that is it . Nissan should put the 2023 and 9 speed from the Pathfinder and Awd 55-58 k price point refresh the design inside and out a little slight tech tweaks and it would sell like hotcakes on a cold rainy morning and for GOD'S sake set the speed limiter to 155 mph owned a 2017 SV and a 2019 SL no issues love them both . The Altima is no match in anyway to the MAX ! The 2016 body to this day turns heads , its a work of art . Owning one never gets old ! you will look for a reason to drive.
Bought one just like that in September 23. Love it. Fun to drive and very well put together
congrats on your purchase
Good choice!
My wife had a 2018 platinum with 130 thousand trouble free miles and loved it so much we just traded it for a new 2023 SR, these cars are very underrated. We have had a lot of different cars and these have been our favorite by far.
great insight thanks so much for watching!
the 2016 sr max with 75k it is a clean title but the body paint of the car isn't it great shape due to the island surrounded with salt water. it was from Honolulu Hawaii and shipped to a dealer here in Miami so it hasn't had a owner since. but am just skeptical about the problems ppl say they have with cvt overall they are asking for 18k after taxes
@@forestdezore1728 That sounds like a pretty good deal, I just don't care for white. The two I have had are grey.
We used to own a Maxima and we loved it, the new design is very nice, but since we live in Chicago we decided to go with two Rogues. Nice review!
Thanks for sharing! glad you are happy with the Nissan Rogue!
For me, the best versions of the Maxima as far as design and driving were the 3rd and 4th generations in the 90's. Those were the 4DSC. And once they started with the CVT from the 6th gen, I feel they just lost that special something. But I do think the current 8th and last generation will age well.
hey thanks for commenting
CAP
Old maxima is like the coolest fucking car just got a 99
I'm sorry, but I liked the maxima SR way better. New altima design looks decent
thanks for watching
I grew up with Nissans from the 80s and 90s. They were built in Japan in those days and really dependable. I will always have love for the Maxima. I wish Nissan sent the car out with a bang, AWD and 9 speed auto
they are rumors to redesigned it into an ev
They should come out with one Maxima Maximas has been around for a long time
that would be nice just one trim
I held on to my 2004 maxima, thinking nissan would eventually do a significant upgrade/redo. Instead, they reduced the headroom to exclude taller drivers (like me), kept the 80s power train, and tried to cover a lack of real improvement with gimmicky boltons. For the altima to replace their "halo sedan, altima would have to dump its sentra interior and commit to a modern, powerful drive train. (All wheel drive hybrid, 300+ hp turbo or even powerful ev). Picture a powerful awd modern (techy) ev sedan shared with an infinity version that had headroom (maxima problem), and had rear seat foot room (g50 problem). Nissan, you nailed the Rogue. Do it this time with game changer sport sedan!
thats actually a great idea the altimas just not quite there
Nissan maxima is best sedan midsize
thanks for watching
Definitely not.
Biggest mistake with the Maxima goes to Nissan's decision to go CVT only. Ruins an otherwise good family/sports sedan.
and now its no longer
I've had two and the cvt in the Maxima is rock solid.
Always a great review. I'm not sure I would use the term "dead bodies" ;) I always use Golf bags but that's just me.
thanks for the advice kev its just a joke
I think Nissan is making a big mistake by discontinuing the gas powered maxima and replacing it with an electric maxima or Altima! I have owned both the Altima and Maxima and they both have their perks. As a retired Salesman from Nissan, I sold a lot more Altimas simply because of its price point and fuel economy. But I feel if you give a good walk around demonstration of the features and benefits of the maxima along with its performance on the test drive will justify its
price point allowing you to close more deals.
There are still customers out there who prefer performance over fuel economy but shy away from the price. “That’s where you step in to demonstrate and justify that price”!!
your certainly right hopefully they come to their senses
Yes, these have more volume. They need to continue making them for years to come. : )
rumour has it it will be an electric vehicle in 2025
😢 I've owned the Altima Sr from 2011. Found out Altima is only making 2.5 with Turbo. I personally like the CVT Giddy Up and Go. And I'm out hunting and looking for a Maxima to be comparable❤
Ive made a video just for you czcams.com/video/_VbT-bTvAvE/video.html&lc=Ugz_FBjTRfEP9S6AdFZ4AaABAg
I've heard that The Maxima will disappear for the 2025-6 model years and come back as an EV sedan.
Nice looking Uber/Lyft
be pretty sweet
Hey, just bought this car!
Love it!
Question, is the emblem supposed to light up when the headlights are on?
Thanks in advance!
hello no it does not
Still comes with the cheesy leather half stitched seats. For the price tag I prefer full leather. Pano roof is a real nice touch tho.
thanks for watching
if maxima did like awd & also like nismo tuned version of the sr...
i have the 2019 SR same interior same wheels i was surprised to see that !
that would be so sick
Can u only do your own shifting w the paddles or can u use the lever knob too?
you can use the shifter as well
Wow the new 2015 Maxima
lol yur not wrong
I WILL MISS THE NISSAN MAXIMA RIP 1981 TO 2023. I DON'T LIKE THE CVT THEY SHOULDNT PUT NO CVT IN THE MAXIMAS AND ALTIMAS. I HAD A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA SE I LOVE THEM CARS. THEY SHOULD KEPT THEM MAXIMA AND REDESIGN AND MORE THAN 300 HORSEPOWER
rip is right
Hello Maxima is better then Altima big mistake Maxima has move power just Redesign it more tech
thanks for watching
❤ the 2021 Maxima SR...20000 MILES...not for sale 😂
keep er going!!!!
sad its coming to an end... I have a 1993 gold se maxima
5 speed
That's awesome they are bullet proof
The car looks very good and sounds good, but it’s just boring to drive, it’s FWD and the CVT just kills the whole experience
thanks for watching
My car used to have the same engine in this car my 2006 Murano
yes it does
Yeah when they go for 40k... Considering they haven't updated much.... You're not going to get many sales.
thanks for watching
It's Ricky from Trailer Park Boys. The way you guys say house up there.
I have a 17 Maxima and I really enjoy the vehicle. I want my V6 preferably normally aspirated. If not I guess I'm moving on to Infinity, unless they get rid of their v6s then I'll go somewhere where they have a V6. I'm a German auto mechanic for 23 years and I will not purchase a 4-cylinder. I hope they come out with another Maxima and the next few years a hybrid would be nice don't trust the electric vehicles. Would love if they just tweaked this engine a little bit more for some more power. I would definitely buy another one I don't care about the CVT I've had two nissans with cvts and never had any issues other than some minor bucking at slower speeds. I get lots of compliments on my vehicle and some people even ask me what kind of car is that. Nice interior nice-looking exterior. Fairly fun car for a front-wheel drive 4 door.
How is you Max holding up today? I am currently shopping for a 2016 SR what do you think?
@@forestdezore1728 105,000 miles. No issues yet. Ive got a heavy foot and drive pretty aggressive. Gonna change the spark plugs soon. Hopefully the car holds up well. I get lots of compliments on the look of the car and the performance for what it is. Smooth good power delivery. Get A few thumbs up occasionally from random people. Paint is gun metal gray and I never run it through a brush car wash..keeps the car looking shiny all the time. Only wash by hand or a touchless car wash. Ive installed stillen exhaust on it. Just enough rumble for me.
@@ymmij1973 what you think about the 2016 Sr they are asking for 18k after taxes with 74k miles I'm on the edge since the car was owned by someone in Hawaii
@@forestdezore1728 I'm very skeptical buying used cars especially since I'm a mechanic..gotta be CAREFUL with flood damaged cars or cars that were "city" cars.
Get a carfax if possible. Dealer serviced cars are maybe a little more safe.

Maybe this is not a fact, but just something I have mentally accepted as fact... Isn't the Altima smaller on the inside?
bout the same
Is it available with a manual transmission?
no sir
A value added of this type of review might have been a comparative between the top trim levels....eg., .the Platinum does not have sport suspension, but possibly it is a smoother more compliant ride especially on irregular pavement, expansion strips, etc. We've owned Maximas in our 50's, 60's, and now over 70 age period. We're not the target demographic, but we like to drive, and the choices are fewer and fewer with this EV nonsense and climate narrative. The SR suspension tightens things up, but going over bumps, train tracks, potholes is hazardous to the male's prostate, kidneys, bladder and his wallet. I owned the last generation SV-SR trim (sport suspension standard). Even on interstates, hit a bump, and prepare to have your head hit the ceiling liner, and worry about a bent wheel rim or out of alignment repair. However, folks may wish to trade the soft ride for the feedback in steering, cornering agility of the SR, etc. My last generation Maxima SV had the electric steering wheel adjustment and it was nice. Both trims still lack a lot of ergonomic refinement that one would assume as standard, but it isn't. Heated seats, yes; cooled seats....I don't think so. The headliner grip handle above all doors is missing above the driver door, a fundamental mistake that shows the manufacturer wanted to save a few bucks at the expense of the driver's ease of ingress and extrication.....no grab handles for stability. Nissan uses faux styling cues to suggest performance or more potent exhaust but it's all for show. The car has basically looked the same for 7 straight years and over that time period, the flaws or missing refinement touches were not addressed. A couple of different color choices and the SR more aggressive trim/black out touches/19 inch wheel/tire package, not a lot to show for 7 years. Arguably, Nissan didn't invest in keeping their top of the line passenger car line state of the art or competitive with higher end sport sedans......they opted to invigorate and update the Altima. Not sure they did their Maxima customer base any favors......we now have another obsolete ICE passenger sedan. At this late model year stage, I'm more interested in learning of residual value trends associated with the Maxima. Does it holds it value on the used market? How is it in terms of routine maintenance, intervals, costs, etc. Is there any enhanced warranty protection? I offer these thoughts as informed and constructive input. Hope they can help embellish future car reviews.
thanks for much we are always looking to improve and appreciate your advice
How is you Max holding up today? I am currently shopping for a 2016 SR
My '93 maxima was a great car. My 2003 maxima was a great car. Both were manual transmission and fun to drive. Not like everything else on the road. This looks... like nothing special at all. I'd dump this too.

Nissan is making A Mistake keep the Maxima.

Could you manual swap one of these?
Very doubtful
Do I see a cd player🤯

You need the NISMO
They should have put a awd drive.. and took the cvt out!! They should just stop it!!
Coming to LAX tomorrow and I can't decide between Dodge Challanger and Nissan Maxima... from one of the most popular car rentals...
well at least your just renting
What did you end up getting?
@@supertrooper73 Ford Edge ST AWD 335 bhp😅
Sad such an iconic name returning as an EV sport sedan and the other putting a CVT in it
remember when,,,before lexus and infinity,,,,the maxima was the japanese luxury car,,,then lexus,,,infinity,,,,and honda up their game with the accord,,,and the maxima kinda faded

Love the car except that damn CVT. Effing awful!!

For the most part yes. But it could be so much more with an 8 speed or 10 speed automatic
Get rid of Bose speakers and cvt

Hahaha, imagine paying $46,790 for a Nissan 😂. You can get a brand new Mercedes GLB, GLC and a GLA. You can also get a brand new Genesis GV70 , the new Mazda CX-90, a brand new Lexus NX, UX, add two grand more and you can get the new Lexus RX. Who exactly are the people paying that kind of money for this car.
theres always a cheaper car my friend
Same here, no contest.@@JordanPeele-go7dr
