A CVT is a transmission which can change steplessly through an infinite number of effective gear ratios between maximum and minimum values. This contrasts with other mechanical transmissions that only allow a few different distinct gear ratios to be selected. The flexibility of a CVT allows the driving shaft to maintain a constant angular velocity over a range of output velocities.
My Dad got a red 2005 rental Maxima from Enterprise once. I borrowed it for the day. What a car! Throttle was touchy as heck, barely touch it and you were flying. Great brakes, handling, sound, looks, power, etc. Loved it! No way can I afford one right now though...
The fact a 2007 Maxima shares the identical keyfob to a 2017 Maxima is kind of sad really. Still the facelifted 07 Maxima looks a lot better than the early 04-06 versions. Above all, the interior center stack felt significantly more upscale instead of a giant slab of plastic, something the 09-14 Maxima reverted to.
Very nice, my girlfriend and I just purchased this car for her yesterday, sort of almost on point with my infiniti. Great car, same color and everything.
It is a nice car. I personally rather have a traditional moonroof than that glass piece going down the center. And I feel like Nissans reliability and durability’s average to above average. Not as good as Some cars but also better than so some cars.
Yes i had an 05 Maxima. The one thing about these is the transmission (04-06). And their camshaft sensors need to be bought from Nissan. The 07-08 where the most reliable ones imo. For this gen
I like my 2004 maxima se, an I'm not scared of repair work, ebay an you tube definitely helps, so if you get your hands on one, it's do able, if you just don't want that car note
@jsnevels2 Part 5 TL has Standard hill start assist. Better suspension (Technology). Larger stabilizer bar. Larger wheels. ACE body structure. More advanced Traction and power control systems. Tl is 5 inches Longer then maxima. An inch wider then maxima, TL has a larger passenger volume, Larger tow capacity. Tl has more Leg room, Shoulder room, And headroom! And Lastly, The TL 6Speed does 0-60 in 5.2 Seconds. :)
When it was new, it was a nice car. Now at 10 years old, I wouldn't be surprised if it's completely trashed. 22 inch rims, slipping transmission, and probably has a title loan on it
James Amona not really the 5 speed were the problematic transmissions. Cvts didnt really have this problem a few rare cases. I have a 2005 but i want a 2007 or 8 they look sharper and the interior is a lot better too
Nice vid, as usual. While you were driving did you have it in manumatic? Love the sound of the Q series V6 though :D lots of power too! Would be sweet in black with a stick haha
@jsnevels2 Part4 The TL Has a telematics system. XM nav weather. XM nav traffic. 10 Way power seat. 8 way pass. seat! Standard automatic memory seats. Standard heated seats. 10 Speakers. Dvd player. Usb port standard. Standard HID headlights (Xenon)... Programmable Perimeter Lighting. Auto tilt mirrors. Auto fold in mirrors. privacy glass. Multifunction Smart Key with more features. More Torque. ULEV 2. (Maxima has ULEV 1even with a smaller motor -_-) Standard Paddles... STILL GOING>
Nice car. My 2009 Mazda CX-9 has the same key setup. If the key is within the car then you can turn the car in with the knob by the steering wheel. It has BOSE too.
@jsnevels2 Part3 Now lets crunch some numbers. TL AWD... 42 Grand fully loaded... Maxima SV 40 Grand fully loaded.... But here is the thing, The TL Has more power. It has an optional 6 speed, Gets the same MPG as the Nissan. The TL has a better residual value. Better warranty. More memory adjustments. Better voice recognition. Standard rear view Camera with guidance. 12.4 GB's of free space to rip music, and it still has a 6 disk changer optional. Not done yet...
Wooow! El mio es igualito, gris, vestiduras en velour y con ese raro strip sky view roof. (I thought I was watching mine imported from Texas!) Una compra de oportunidad. Todavía se maneja muy bien en 2021.
my sister just bought a 2010 Sentra SR, nice little car. Definitely best thing under $20k. I love the older Maxima's, but I'm not too sure about the brand new ones =\
@Zumoffj The altima 3.5 has more hp and trq . But when it's a cvt it's runs the same 1/4 and 0-60 as this maxima! Both do the 1/4 in 14.8 sec and do 0-60 in 6.3
@jsnevels2 Part 6 Your WHP numbers are way wrong. I just did some research and found out that the accord EX makes 152 to the wheels. I dont know about the Altima, but numorious websites are suggesting About 133.2 WHP for the CVT, About a 26 % loss is what is happening down there. That number would make sense for the Altima doing slower 0-60's then the accord EX. Hmm :D
@jsnevels2 UM YES! At some point in your life (Once your old enough to drive in 3 years) You WILL indeed have to tow something.. And the towing capacity of the TL shows that it has a stronger more willing power train then the maxima.
Forr some reason i like this car. I have a 2006 jeep srt8,1986 mustang gt and.a 2004 range rover and im kind of looking for another car to drive bk and forth and this car seems nice to me. it shouldnt, but it does.
No it does not it just beeps 3x and will remain on until you turn it off. Also, if you leave the car on in accessory and walk away, someone can start the car and drive off.
Not really. A CVT's merits are based more on opinion than fact, because there really isn't much of a benefit of one over the other. You may think it's a nice transmission, but my preference is for distinguishable gear changes.
@jsnevels2 PART2 Noooo... The 190 HP K24 Makes the SAME mpg as the 177. And torque has nothing to do with MPG estimates. A car can be tourqey and get great mileage (EcoBoost) Higher redline? Its not much longer then the Altimas. And that still should not make a difference in efficiency. Now about the maxima. Nice! He has a fully loaded maxima. Maxima is not comparable to the accord as it is obviously in a different class...
@jsnevels2 Heres the thing. Have you driven a honda with a V6? It sounds like you have not? The J35 in the Accord V6 makes 85% of its torque at 1500 RPM. All J series motors do that. I would just like to point out that Nissan does not race anymore. Honda does, and when nissan did race... They only used the VQ35 in the 350Z from 04 to 07. Thats what i know about VQ racing.
@jsnevels2 Lol, What did i say on this video that would imply that i like them? The Altima V6 6Speed is a good car... As is a maxima with real gears. :D
I had one of these cars back in 2020 and sadly it was the worst car I’ve owned so far. It gave me nothing but problems the entire time I owned it. I went to go get it registered and the 02 sensor failed and the check engine light came on. After that there was a bubble in the coolant system so my temp gauge was all over the place, I got stuck in snow and one of the coolant hoses broke, after that the flex pipe was clogged so the car would feel like it was going to stall especially going up hill.
@jsnevels2 Dictionary - Mechanics . something that produces or tends to produce torsion or rotation; the moment of a force or system of forces tending to cause rotation. Torques is the only plural word for torque. Have you ever watched top gear? Or the speed channel? They say torques. LEARNING IS GOOD FOR YOU
@jsnevels2 PART3 Now let me ask you a question... Your dads maxima costed him 40 Grand correct? 9 Grand more then a fully loaded accord with most of the same features, And bassically the SAME price as a brand new 305 HP Acura TL SH-awd correct? Now please dont tell me that the maxima is a better car then the TL. Because you would clearly be lying to yourself. Now, a fully loaded SV maxima weighs 3750 lbs A fully loaded accord Weighs 3559... I thought the accord was fat?
I'm getting this car in a couple of weeks! Thanks for the video it helps knowing what I'm getting! 😄
How has it been?
Did you ever get it? If so, do you still have it?
Update?
I've never understood the weird sunroof strip in the middle of the car
it was a weird option: it was a fixed moonroof.
That was stupid wasn't it
One of the cleanest Maximas I've ever seen

Great video. Thanks for taking time to give us a good intro.
This generation looks ok, but the new ones look better. My grandpa used to have a 2000 Maxima. It was a nice car.

Best sport sedan .i have same car color full loaded..i love my car ...
There's a key in the bottom to unlock the door. Once inside, there is a slot that you put the dead remote in that allows the car to start.
i like this keyless start better than the push button cause you can still use the key if u wanted
because many people likes to hear and feal every gear ,..the power of the engine

its a really good looking car
Intensified Gaming ^
We're all in the same boat haha
5:24 I like that startup
it detects how close the remote key is and judging by that, allows you to open the door
Lyrics:
Ride my heart holder head in the car, Ride a love song it makes you proud, Then turn right around
That's my dream car I love it :)
you make the best car tour videos
With that keyless entry system on on the door wouldnt it be just a walk in the park for a car theif and press the button?
When it was new, it was a nice car. Now at 10 years old, I wouldn't be surprised if it's completely trashed. 22 inch rims, slipping transmission, and probably has a title loan on it
Cruzing 93 well mine has 20 inch rims, no title loan, in great condition, no transmission or engine problems....seem to be doing good so far lol
SeanM335i hey how many miles do you have? I hear the cvts are notorious for slipping and powerloss
James Amona not really the 5 speed were the problematic transmissions. Cvts didnt really have this problem a few rare cases. I have a 2005 but i want a 2007 or 8 they look sharper and the interior is a lot better too
Nissan maxima 2006-2008 or honda accord 2006-2008??
prays 101 2006-2008 maxima but i might get the next generation up like. 2009 or 2010
Nonono. the new models are absolutely beautiful. Do not say it's a bad car.
Oh how much I miss the 03 Maxima.
i have that same car. and I love my gray ghost
I have this car man beast
Good review & great Nissan.
Boutta get this beast 😍dark gray tho hella exciteddddd
Did ya get it?
@@Punicia hell no. Lmao I got a dodge charger instead 🤣🤣🤣
@hehh543 I've drive the Maxima and there's nothing wrong with the transmission. I guess that's because Nissan makes the best CVTs on the market IMO
5:00 I like that song
CVT stands for continuously variable transmission,think of it as a transmission that can shift to infinity
Nice vid, as usual. While you were driving did you have it in manumatic? Love the sound of the Q series V6 though :D lots of power too! Would be sweet in black with a stick haha

This car has so many similar little points as my old 06 teana, i think there are based as the same car
I actually had to look that up to make sure right before I posted that. For a split second I actually thought it was just stuck in gear...
hope they still have this car in 2013 when i buy my first car
10 years later did you ever end up getting it
@@angelaguilera6100 Some questions need answers.
It's a nice car but I don't like the glass going down the middle of the roof, I'd rather gave a traditional moonroof.
Nice car. My 2009 Mazda CX-9 has the same key setup. If the key is within the car then you can turn the car in with the knob by the steering wheel. It has BOSE too.
They put them in the Maxima starting in 2007. They also got rid of the manual model that year.
This can provide better fuel economy than other transmissions by enabling the engine to run at its most efficient (RPM) for a range of vehicle speeds.
My friend's grandma's 2009 Murano has the same thumb sensor program.
im getting this car for my birthday february . thanks for the video

im almost positive there is a sunroof and there are ones like that which is the moonroof

Looks like a big car
I THANK HE SHOULD DO A LONGER TEST DRIVIN
i didnt even know it has heated seats, in mine there both covered by this plastic thing. do i just use a screw driver to remove the pieces?
I don't really like the 6th gen Maximas. I prefer the 4th, 5th, and 7th but this one was amazing.
I'm thinking of purchasing my first car. I want it too be a 2004 nissan maxima 3.5 se. I heard they were really fast.
The only thing I hate about his reviews after detailing is that he doesn't actually start the actual review until like the middle of the video
Do you have to step on the break before you start it?
pretty sure thats every car lol
What the mileage and cost
