  • I love this car! - 2009 Nissan Maxima
    By -

    I must admit. I was a little compulsive when buying this car but I do not regret it. After reading all the reviews and having owned it for a few days now I can say that this car is fantastic. It handles with such precision and the ride is fantastic. I can not see anyone disappointed. The rear seats have a lot of room. This is a great car and I highly recommend it to anyone that wants serious sport in a classy looking mid size sedan.

  • dont buy if you havent - 2009 Nissan Maxima

    I bought this car over the lexus and geniness because I liked the looks of it, well the car runs rough to say the least It started off making a flapping sound when I first started it at about 20 miles p/hr. then after a while it added the sound of something braking free to engage.I finally took it to the dealer and they didnt know what to make of it finally they told me they think its the alternator they will start by replacing that and work form there. For the money I paid and the problems Im having with it I would not recommend to anyone to buy it. my car only has 3000 miles on it. I wish I would have bought that Lexus. for peace.

  • The Problem Car - 2009 Nissan Maxima
    By -

    My car was making a roaring noise so I took it to the dealer. The just about replaced the whole front it. The problems with the air condition was exhausting they had to replace the compressor, condenser and found out it was the intake sensor. Now the car is making a squeaking in the back which now it means it need shocks. This car has to many kinks in it that wasnt worked out.

  • The first fouor months.... - 2009 Nissan Maxima

    The New Maxima is performing as well as any vehicle at this point. The biggest flaw at this time is the MPGs. After taking the car on a several hundred mile trip, the mpg only reached 21.6( highway) This was at an average speed of about 70 mph and very little use of the brake. The sticker touts a 26 mpg rating.(highway) 21.6 represents about 17% less then promised return. OK we are in a recession and everybody is lying about something but I leased this vehicle for the fuel aspect and commuting purposes. I guess even Nissan is involved in their own type of fraud, that being posting unobtainable gas mileage. It still beats the hell out of the 12 mpg I was getting with the Jeep Commander.

  • 2009 Max - 2009 Nissan Maxima

    I currently have a 2008 max SL and wanted to see whats all the talk about the 2009. Well, people let me tell you that I took this car for a weekend road test and was extremely impressed. I tested the sv premium package w/o Navi. This car has loads of features that you will not find in any acura TL. The room of this car remains the same and the interior quality seem to have improved over my 2008. Only time will tell if I will be willing to spend 37k on a Nissan Maxima.
