  Fun Ride but Painful Seat - 2006 Nissan Maxima
  By Houston Commuter - December 19 - 7:40 am

  I commute over an hour each way every day and liked the performance, mileage and range of this car. It has lots of zip in traffic and motors along at 80 with no problem. The exterior styling is distictive and the interior is big enough for a family of 5 on the rare occasions when the family comes along. My only serious complaint is the width and rigidity of the front bucket seats. I find that the little wings on the side of the seat are rock hard and they are putting my leg to sleep, especially on the right side. The problem didnt show itself until I had been driving for about a month and now Im regretting the purchase.

  Very Nice Car - 2006 Nissan Maxima
  By Nice Nissan - September 4 - 9:33 am

  I bought this car brand new in April 2006 and it has been solid mechanically. The only feature I dislike is that my electric controlled passenger side mirror had to be replaced due to the adjustment not resetting correctly after placing the car in reverse, which still did not correct the problem.

  Great Car - 2006 Nissan Maxima
  By cclobbyist - September 2 - 5:13 pm

  I did alot of research, even tried to look at the American cars, but it everyone in America has the 300m. Thus I decided to break it down to two final cars. I Looked at the Avalon before I purchased the Maxima SL, got the Onyx exterior and black interior. The Maxima was a far better choice than the Avalon. Got the SL with the drivers pref.pkg. The car rides great, and yes I did notice the turning radius issue that was discussed on this site and yes it begs for improvement. But hey I have yet to find the perfect car that will make everyone perfectly happy. I like the car a whole lot, and was happy to trade in my 04 Camry for it. The heated steering wheel is perfect for the cold Chicago winter

  Love my maxima - 2006 Nissan Maxima
  By chiller - July 9 - 8:43 am

  There are so many things I love about this car. Ive owned many different makes and models over the years, but this is my favorite car. It looks great, drives great, and is super comfortable. One of my favorite features - a heated steering wheel. (I live in the Midwest.) Ive had just regular maintenance and no mechanical issues at all. I usually trade my vehicles in after three years, but Im actually thinking of keeping this one for awhile. Well, maybe Ill trade it for a new Maxima. I would like remote start.

  I really like this car - 2006 Nissan Maxima
  By 7thnissan - May 27 - 1:46 pm

  I got this car for my wife, but I got to drive it on a 600 mile trip. We averaged 27 mpg city and highway. The Maxima was very comfortable and roomy, trunk space was unbeliveable. The two kids had enough room in the back to make their own little nest without touching each other. I drive a 95 Q45 and the Maxima has nearly all the same features except for the V8, didnt miss it.

  Fun Car - 2006 Nissan Maxima
  By Di Wills - April 11 - 2:20 pm

  I love my car. All it need is the Bluetooth audio feature and Ill be happier. I even take my car on road trips with no issues. I bought it with 86k miles in November 2016 and right now Im at 110k in June 2017. This car does suck on making tight U-turns. Thats my only issue with the car.

  Loving it! - 2006 Nissan Maxima
  By Joy - March 25 - 3:53 pm

  My husband and I are preparing for our first child so we needed a family car. I still have my Mitz 3000GT but you cant drive kids around it that. Anyway, my husband is 65 and he loves the room the car offers. He does not feel boxed in at all. I like that fact that it handles like my 3000 but gives me more room. We were debating between this car and the Chrylser 300 but for the price and features the Maxima came out on top. Great car!!!!!!

  By jacob - March 1 - 12:40 am

  not only was this car more affordable than its competitors, but the quality was outstanding. this car can really get up and go. i would consider this is you want more out of a vehicle than just a daily commuter. it will instill a passion for driving

  I really wanted to like this car! - 2006 Nissan Maxima
  By mhn - February 11 - 9:33 am

  This car is so much fun to drive. With that said, we have had so many problems with it. The sunroof took 7 tries to repair, the A/C went out, struts replaced, paint is chipping off rear view mirror on the garage door button, rotors are shot, front dash rattles, steering column gets stuck in the upright position, and today my check engine soon light came on. I baby this car and I am a very mild driver. Maybe I just got a lemon, but we are trading it for an Infiniti G35x because they seem to be getting much better reviews. Good luck if you purchase this this vehicle. Hope yours wont be a lemon. I loved driving it, too bad it spends just as much time in the shop as it does on the road. :-(

  Will Miss IT! - 2006 Nissan Maxima
  By Stephanie E - February 11 - 7:13 am

  I owned my Nissan for 4 yrs. ABSOLUTELY loved it! I purchased a LOADED SE model & cant complain too much about it. The only down side is the turning radius sucked. As far as reliability, ride, comfort, & performance it was awesome. It set standards that spoiled me that other manufactures dont include in options (heated steering wheel). Although window sticker stated 27 MPG, mine got 25-26 MPG (not too bad - and I dont putt putt around). I recently totaled it, so SAFETY was GREAT! When side air bags deployed no smell or gas filled the interior like others do. This was one of my favorite make/models to own. I will definitely miss this car!
