  • Cramped - 2017 Nissan Maxima
    By -

    Looking for a car that had some space. Trunk is small. Front seats comfy but, felt like confined space wise. Ride was nice. Bought an Impala. A car with a huge trunk and more cabin space. In your review the breakdown in each category would only register GREAT OR POOR. OK would not register in the survey. Big difference in describing the customers view points. Fix it or delete it.

  • lemon law , two recalls one oil seal - 2017 Nissan Maxima
    By -

    this car is my wifes dream car. she loves body style and and the over-all performance . but on a recent road trip we encountered some snow and patches of ice on interstate 80 in Nebraska, and each time we hit a patch of ice, the car seemed to want to bring the rear-end forward. we were the slowest car on the road and had no clue as to why this was happening. tire pressures were sufficient , the wind was trailing, and we were carrying ample weight. after talking to a service manager and hearing of no probable causes, we have since learned of other customers with similar experiences. I would suggest that anyone considering buying this model or an Altima look into this problem. I am thoroughly disappointed with the handling of this car and will be looking at other means of transportation.

  • Maxima should be Minima. - 2017 Nissan Maxima

    Drive an Audi, Mercedes, Lexus, or BMW and you wont even consider a Maxima. I drive professionally and this car is simply lethal. Terrible roadholding especially if roads are wet, useless in snow even with 4 snows, wonderful engine but simply overpowered when considering its inept chassis, the CVT is atrocious, lazy, and then overwhelming. Hang on if you need to pass quickly on a narrow road, torque steer will send you off into the weeds. Regarding the transmission it failed yesterday and needs to be replaced...20,000 miles! Front seats are exceptional, especially the drivers side as it is fully adjustable. The front passenger seat does not have a height adjustment so your passenger will be sitting on the floor. $40,000 and the power seat doesnt raise? The interior is spacious and of high quality. Exterior styling is quite unusual, Nissan needs to hire new engineers and stylists. The paint work and finish is terrible. My car is the poster car for orange peel. Goodbye Nissan, good luck to you if you purchase one.
