Overview & Reviews

After receiving a midcycle refresh last year, the Nissan Maxima heads into 2008 with only mild package adjustments. Last year's Elite Package has been largely replaced by the Platinum Edition Package, though the Elite's more comfortable two-person backseat arrangement has been dropped.

• Ample interior space, standard V6 engine, suspension well balanced for both handling and comfort.

  I LOVE, LOVE THIS CAR!! - 2008 Nissan Maxima
  By Laurie - August 28 - 1:16 pm

  I traded a Nissan Quest for the Maxima in the fall of 2007 and I couldnt be happier! My parents owned Datsun products when I was a kid--anyone remember the 280Z? This car is fun to drive, handles beautifully, lots of power, and extremely reliable. Not one problem since the purchase.

  Performance/Luxury Sedan - 2008 Nissan Maxima
  By Ken Harris - December 8 - 6:13 am

  The Maxima is an excellent choice in this price range fully loaded. I purchased the SE model fully loaded except for navigation. The 3.5 liter Nissan v6 is one of the best in the market. The CVT has extremely smooth operation with no feel of any downshifting or lag time. The ride is fairly smooth and road noise is minimal. The interior design is well constructed and overall I am very happy with the purchase. I have owned 3 Maximas previously, 1990, 1999 and 2001. Nissan has come a long way over the years. I plan to keep the 2008 Maxima for a very long time!!

  Fun car, HORRIBLE turn ratio! - 2008 Nissan Maxima
  By Sarry - November 9 - 10:00 am

  I have always driven Hondas. Decided to turn in my Honda Civic for a 2008 Nissan Maxima. Totally FUN to drive! Blow by people while barely pushing in the accelerator! Overall a really nice car. Gas mileage not great but its a souped up V6 sports car, I expected that. The one MAJOR complaint I have is the turn ratio! I have to practically make a three-point turn to get into a parking space. Trading it in because of those two things. Cant stand it anymore. I can barely get through a coffee drive through! Put good tires on it and its actually pretty good in the snow for a CAR. Traction control.

  Maxima SE - 2008 Nissan Maxima
  By steve - October 24 - 9:53 am

  I looked at just about every entry level luxury car there was out there. 328xi, lexus 350, infiniti g35, saab 9.3, audi a4, mercedes c300. All had the same thing in common, did not offer anything more than the Maxima except AWD, most looked nearly identical! All the same features for less money. I cannot see why people would pay thousands more for a car that is so close to the Maxima. I am a former Cadillac, Lincoln and BMW owner. I chose the SE, this is more sporty without the wood accent. This is an entry luxury car without the price tag. Without the name plate either but I can say one statement. I saw all the other cars and could have bought them instead, I love my new Maxima.

  Fun, Fun, and more Fun!!! - 2008 Nissan Maxima
  By kitkat - February 29 - 6:36 pm

  This car is very roomy for a family of four but yet sporty enough to satisfy the desires of most sports car enthusiast. I am very impressed with the power and agility of this car. I considered the Honda Accord, but overwhelmingly chose the Maxima due to its interior room, comfortable seats, and power. This car is fun to drive!!
