Overview & Reviews

Improved manual transmission shift feel (thanks to a shorter shift stroke), black-tone brake calipers, additional chrome accents inside and new softer leather upholstery. Auto-dimming outside mirrors are now available, and a new 12-volt power point resides at the base of the center stack.

• Roomy interior, lots of upscale options, sweet V6, available with a manual transmission.

• So-so center stack ergonomics, premium price without the premium nameplate.

  Sports Car Feel - 2005 Nissan Maxima
  By BEAR - September 27 - 11:13 pm

  A lot of thought went into the design of this car. Large trunk, excellent legroom and good seating. It is comfortable, has an extremely responsive V6 and handles like a sports sedan should, build quality is first class.

  BEST SEDAN ON THE MARKET - 2005 Nissan Maxima
  By MICHELE STEPHENSON - September 26 - 9:30 am

  This is the ultimate car, its the leader of the pack. The space in the back is very spacious. The 18 inch wheels makes the handling of the curves a breeze. The dual climate control actually works out great because my husband & I both enjoy different temperatures. The space in the trunk is unbelievable. Over-all this is a great car to own.

  Best Maxima Ever - 2005 Nissan Maxima
  By Bruce - September 5 - 11:06 pm

  Absolutely the best Maxima Nissan has built! I have owned 10 Nissan/Datsuns, this being the 4th Max and I love it. Its got luxury, sport, speed, handling and style. I could afford the higher end nameplates (I looked at a Jag S- type & E-class Benz), but choose to stick with the Maxima. Not only did I save a little money, but in my opinion, got a better car. I will continue to buy Nissan (maybe Infiniti, too) for many years. I recommend Nissan to anyone who is in the market for a new or used vehicle.

  Problem with frontend - 2005 Nissan Maxima
  By Val - September 1 - 3:13 pm

  Fun car to drive and has a great pick up and go but keep having problems with the front end. I have replaced both wheel bears, brakes & tires with only have 58K. still making a noise like the brakes are low when I stop but when I replace the bearings it stopped the steering wheel from shaking.

  lots of fun - 2005 Nissan Maxima
  By Tom - August 23 - 5:53 pm

  Great quality for the money. This car has so many bells and whitles that tech lovers such as I should keep themselves occupies. Lots of little, thoughtful touches from stereo controls to design details and customization abilities makes this a well thought out car. Although thirsty for gas, the rocket ability of this car makes it worth the cost. Feels like it could take off if it had wings. At high speeds though I could sence some instability in the rear (in the SL) especially when changing lanes but we shouldnt be driving that fast anyway. I bought this at the beginning of winter so I cant wait to roll down the windows and open the sunroof this summer. So far I love it!

  05 MAX - 2005 Nissan Maxima
  By Justin from Jersey - August 15 - 11:00 am

  Black exterior with Burnt Orange Interior gets tons of attention. People always comment on how nice of a car the Maxima is. Performance is good. This car gives you a high feature content, and is a step above the everyday family car.

  Very Pleased - 2005 Nissan Maxima
  By Danv23 - August 6 - 2:50 am

  After driving a 1997 GLE (bought new in 96) for the last 101600 miles I decided it was time for a new Maxima. No other car can match the features coupled with the reliability of these cars. I originally wanted to stay with the luxury edition SL, but the 18" tires on the SE were too much of a draw to ignore. To compromise I upgraded the SE to SL form, including the navigation system.

  Beautiful Max Very Safe - 2005 Nissan Maxima
  By saxguyck - July 19 - 6:36 am

  I purchased my beautiful 05 maxima sl in early January and unfortunately got in an accident in the snow a month later and totaled it. The back end fishtailed going around a curve, I did a 360 and I hit the gaurdrail twice, once in the front and once in the back. Unfortunately, the car was totaled, but I was perfectly fine. The airbags didnt go off, I was able to drive the car for another week after the accident, but it would cost too much to fix. Car was amazing, roomy, had all features including a heated steering wheel! Fast too! I will purchase one again when I get my check from ins. Buy this car, just be careful in the snow. Very safe and tough. High quality.

  The Best!!! - 2005 Nissan Maxima
  By josh37 - June 20 - 11:00 am

  I love my 2005 Nissan Maxima SL. I had a 2003 Maxima SE and i loved it but instead of going for another maxima i got a explorer and hated it. but then I got a BMW hated it so gave it to my daughter and got another Maxima and LOVE IT!!!! I bought the car with 81000 Miles on it and now has about 83000 on it. No Squeaks or rattles ( that ive heard) ride is perfect, and is very fun to drive. Engine is quiet and QUICK!!! Very roomy and BOSE sound system is GREAT. LOVE the xenon lights and the heated steering wheel. The Traction control came in handy during a bad thunderstorm the other day.
