  250 miles into it and loving it! - 2011 Nissan Maxima
  By tmac4718 - September 22 - 6:09 pm

  3.5 SV silver premium package. Fun to drive but babying it through break in period. It was this or a 2011 Charger AWD max, tough choice for me. Loved the charger but just found the maxima more refined and comfortable for 20k miles a year and concerned with dodge reliability. But I gave up the Hemi and AWD for the maxima. Love the car more everyday Im in it. I get alot of looks because maximas are a rare care now, which I love. The hood and the bulges make the car pop from inside and out. I had an 08 altima 2.5SL lease before and loved it as well. Maxima is twice as much fun to drive so i bought this one. Getting 20mpg around town so far, no highway trips yet. Torque steer is present but ok

  2011 Maxiima 3.5 SV--fully loaded - 2011 Nissan Maxima

  The short list was between Genesys V6, Infinity G37 and the Maxima. The $ value proposition favored the Maxima hands down and the test drives sealed the deal. Perf & Tech packages were added as I wanted all the bells & whistles. My three month ownership experience vs. expectation align well. The V6 is more than enough @ 290hp with a responsive power train. The suspension is smooth without being cushy. The interior while below the Infinity does not leave one lacking. Visibility & ride quality are tops. Driving this car is pure fun. Thanks to the DVD tool grasping the all the technology was simplified. Premium Fuel is a downer and something Nissan should address especially @ 26 mph highway

  Most things to like; some to not - 2011 Nissan Maxima
  By flyer10 - February 10 - 7:08 am

  I traded an 06 Maxima SE for the 11 S. I love the styling, inside and out. Very classy in black. Power is great, although there is some torque steer. Comfort is great, and the inside controls are much more user friendly than on the 06. Trunk space is less, which could be an issue. The radio is much better quality than the 06. Its fun to drive, and it handles well. Now for what I dont like. Under heavy acceleration the engine is very noisy, almost irritatingly so. Also, there is significant wind noise starting about 40 mph on up. The ride isnt as smooth as my 06 either. Maybe its the Goodyear Eagles---my other one had Bridgestones. On windy days, the car is buffeted.
