  Just traded mine in with transmission problems!! Only had it 2 years. The first gear no longer worked. Highly dissapointed in the nissan name. Powertrain warranty ended at 60000. Transmission went at 65000. I am still upset

  Mighty Maxima - 2006 Nissan Maxima
  By J.C. - July 20 - 11:56 am

  Im new to the Maxima scene, but I now understand all the "hoopla" behind it. When I bought this car I had no idea about the power behind it (even though I test drove). This machine is sweet, decent on the petro too! A lot of features on the SL, including BT, sunroof and wood trimming.

  Not so excited about this car anymore - 2006 Nissan Maxima
  By TZ - July 18 - 6:30 am

  I bought this car brand new thinking that like my last vehicle it would less me at least 140,000 miles without fixing anything major, so in 2 years my air condition went down, following winter something happened with my unt brakes, and now my transmission start acting up dont know whats the problem, i hope this car will get a recall it seems a lot of people have the same problem and after spending a good buck for this car i expect also a better performance I would never buy Nissan again unless there is a 100,000 warrant since i dont trust them anymore,

  Try One - 2006 Nissan Maxima
  By Anthony - July 3 - 2:46 am

  All you have to do is drive one. I read about Hondas, Toyotas, whatever... I never get tired of pulling away from VTECs (4s and 6s). I have had NO ISSUES. The gas mileage isnt fabulous, but for a car with this much zip, its quite good. Yeah, the turning radius isnt great, and there is some torque steer, but what car doesnt have one thing worth changing. I wanted a performance sedan and I got one. I have friends with 10 Hemi (390 HP) Rams that cant pull away from me. What more can you want in a 4 DOOR SEDAN. Dont forget, its a family car!

  Sweeeeeet ride!! - 2006 Nissan Maxima
  By NYPHIL - July 1 - 7:56 pm

  Everyone says "What a Sweet Ride!" and they are right. I just bought a Spirited Bronze SL with black interior loaded (no Nav) with everything including Sirius, a wing, wheel locks, floor mats, slash guards for $29,000! What a truly wonderful vehicle. Based on some critics reviews I was a little skeptical about purchasing this car. The complaints about interior design, torque steer and turning radius are baloney. What an underrated luxury vehicle. I had a 1995 Avalon for 11 yrs and loved it. When I compared/test drove the 2006 Touring Avalon against the Maxima I found it was lacking so many of my Favorites Features listed below (also lacked side molding) that we had to have the MAX!!

  By Jay - June 30 - 11:13 pm

  Like most guys I know we love our cars so much,and spend endless hours keeping them that we end up spending more time with our car than our wives/girlfriends. So we end up naming them. My cars name is Maxeen. She is my first foreign car and I absolutely love her and Nissan dealership.

  Good "Sport Sedan" - 2006 Nissan Maxima
  By Red Thunder - May 19 - 8:40 am

  On the day of the delivery I experienced steering wheel "shimmy" or vibration at all speeds and despite 5 trips to the dealership, some improvement but not complete elimination of the problem. I love the car, the room, the VQ engine (plenty of upgrades...), reliability and this is my 3 maxima. My first is still on the road (a friend drives it now) with over 300000 miles. I really dislike the service I experienced though. And they still promise to fix the issue and Im still waiting...

  LOVE MY MAXIMA - 2006 Nissan Maxima
  By buttrnut - March 24 - 2:06 am

  I bought this car off of the showroom floor in Jan of 2008. I love, love, love my Maxima! Exceptional handling (can take a 30 MPH exit ramp at 70 MPH), acceleration is comparable to a V8, sometimes a bit scary... the power is underestimated. The exterior of the car screams "HOT". Sporty, low profile high performance ride. I took an 11 hour trip in this car and really enjoyed the ride, I averaged 29 MPG with a fully loaded trunk. I love the body style and was a little sad to see Nissan succumb to a Camry look for 2009. Hope the new body style grows on me because I would really like to be a Maxima-lifer!

  Too Bad - 2006 Nissan Maxima
  By apps10 - January 4 - 3:37 pm

  Have the manual transmission and have just loved this car for 7 years. Unfortunately Nissan had some major transmission issues. My car had the entire engine, transmission and cats replaced under warrantee just before it expired. Time to get rid of the car cause I anticipate the issues resurfacing. It has been a great sport sedan with the power and acceleration being the best features. The engine is silky smooth.
