This Year's Model Updates:

After a full redesign last year, the Nissan Maxima heads into 2010 pretty much unchanged. Nissan has simplified the sedan's options packaging by offering one unified Technology package rather than three. Also debuting is a Monitor package, which allows customers to enjoy a 7-inch color monitor without having to first purchase the Technology package. Bluetooth is now standard across all models.

Pros:
  • Precise steering, strong V6, high-quality interior craftsmanship, plenty of high-tech features, excellent iPod integration.
Cons:
  • Lacks the brand cachet its price tag might imply, compromised middle rear seat with Sport or Premium packages, equipment stuffed into expensive packages.

    The initial experience of renting a Maxima two months ago influenced my reason for buying one; albeit the exhilaration of driving what can only be described as a solid and sophisticated machine. The cabin aesthetics is reminiscent of my previous luxury car. I havent a single concern regarding what has been one the best car ownership experiences thus far! The redesigned Maxima is a finely tuned, attractive automobile that will likely cater to those with refined tastes.

  • 2010 Nissan Maxima Engine knocking - 2010 Nissan Maxima

    I bought a 2010 Nissan maxima and every time I fill up the gas tank, the engine start making a knocking noise. But once the tank gets to 3/4 the knocking goes away. I have been putting shell V-Power in my car since the day I got it.

  • 6 month report, 6,000 miles - 2010 Nissan Maxima
    By -

    Actually, weve had the car almost 7 months now. For the past 25 years Ive been a huge Honda/Accura fan. When I 1st saw this car I fell in love. White with glass roof and tan interior, simply gorgeous! It truely drives like a 4 door sports car as promoted. Had it up to 100mph on the turnpike the other day and it rode as smooth as glass. Havent had any service issues. The CVT does feel somewhat unorthodox. Feels like a 4 cylinder at low speeds. I could have bought another TL, but bought this and saved well over $15k! No regrets.

    I bought my Maxima last week and Im loving it so far. Its just so fun to drive. Im still getting used to the CVT but Im liking it. Lots of power when I need it, plenty of space (passenger and trunk), and sexiness doesnt hurt it either. My only regret is not getting the Premium package.

    Great car....... I had a 09 maxima and had to get the 10.. Bluetooth AUDIO is amazing. Love the way it handles. I got the one with the sports suspense, leather premuim, cold pack... ECT.... I got a great deal and 2.9%.. The car handles very well under both cond. wet or dry.. Audio system is okay, they use to many speakers for base.. Only the front speaks play sound.. Front door and rear are for the subs... :( We recommend it.

    One nice car for under $36,000. Drives like a much more expensive car. Nissan put together a winner.

  • I love my 2010 Maxima!!!! - 2010 Nissan Maxima

    I just traded in my 04Altima 3.5 with 89k on it. I did not have one problem with this car, just one reason I purchased a Maxima. I LOVE this Maxima, the new design is so sleek, sporty yet classy. I love the CVT transmission, and my god does this thing fly, you gotta love 290hp!!! Im breaking her in easy though. But cant wait to really drive her! I bought it in the Tuscan sun (deep red) love the two tone interior! I got a base. Love that a moonroof and 6disc cd is standard and with 290hp? great price!!!!!!

    I have had this car a couple of months. I was concerned about the CVT trans but am delighted to report that it is smooth and a good fit for the Maxima. It is a 290 horse engine that snaps and still gets almost 24 MPG on my routes . I am a long time Nissan owner but this is the first NEW Maxima and I couldnt be happier. This thing turns heads everywhere I go. I traded an 06 Altima that I also bought new. Its not even close.I love the new body design and everything about the car. If your looking, stop now and own the Maxima. You wont be sorry.........

  • One Sexy Beast - 2010 Nissan Maxima
    By -

    During the 3 weeks it took for my insurance company to finalize the payoff of my Honda, I drove a rented 09 Maxima. I loved it so much I HAD to buy one. I love it! Im depressed NO More! Its beautiful inside and out. The seating is extremely comfortable. The ride is very smooth. I dont have the BOSE sound system, but my 8 speakers still sound excellent. I use the bluetooth with my cell phone constantly, its very convenient and much safer than reaching for your phone while driving. Every time I step on the gas pedal, the powerful 3.5 V6 engine just roars. My 2010 Maxima in Tuscan Sun, now named "The Maxi Beast" is so stunning, it demands attention everywhere we go.

  • 15K Miles & 7 Months Later - GREAT! - 2010 Nissan Maxima

    See my previous posts for more info under Third Timer. Just want to clarify this car does not require Ester type oil which some dealers are charging over $90 to replace at oil change time. Nissan recommends this type oil, but any synthetic 5W30 oil will suffice. You can also use NON-synthetic oil as long as you change it every 3000 miles. Do not waste your money for $100 oil changes! Ester is a component of synthetic oil formulas, not some mystical oil type only Nissan makes! Dont be fooled! Also, premium gas is recommended but not required! Need a minimum of 87 octane. Reference Nissan Owner Man. I highly recommend this vehicle...a fantastic value!
