  I love this car - 2012 Nissan Maxima
  By mseals528 - December 26 - 1:17 pm

  I have had this car for 4 weeks now, and all I can say is, this is a KILLER bargain for what you get. Dont be scared away by the sticker price on these cars, especially if you are leasing. These cards can be had for thousands off the sticker price which in turn makes them a fantastic deal. The sticker on my SV premium with mats, mud guards, and trunk organizer was $39,400. I got it for $7000 less! The amenties are second to none, heated seats, cooled driver seat, double moonroof, large color backup camera. The car has plenty of power and I am still getting 24MPG.

  Couldnt be happier! - 2012 Nissan Maxima
  By kc16 - September 13 - 4:25 pm

  My husband and I looked at and test drove many high-end sedans from Lexus ES 350, Audi A4, Infinity to C Class Mercedes Benz. The designer cars didnt impress us. Seriously. It all came down to personal preference and what would work best for our family. We did narrow it down to the ES and Maxima, but the ES has really short head space. We are tall people. My hubby is over 6 ft. and Im 5 ft. 7. And each time we test drove an ES, I kept thinking "old man car". Plus the breaking wasnt smooth and it was downright boring to drive and we were worried about the Toyota/Lexus recalls. We purchased a black 2012 Maxima with gray interior with red stitching and couldnt be happier. We got a great deal on a SV Premium Package with rear spoiler. With its ample headspace, heated steering wheel, heated and air conditioned seats, Bose stereo, nav system, and double moon roof, we got all the perks we wanted and then some. Its a good-looking car thats a blast to drive. Looks and drives like a sports car. The manufacturer recommends premium gas, but the dealership said we could use regular with no problem. The only thing we dont like is the effortless acceleration. If we’re not careful, we’ll be racking up some serious speeding tickets, yall. This is our favorite car weve owned yet. LOVE LOVE LOVE it!"

  3rd Maxima - 2012 Nissan Maxima
  By jspagna1 - January 21 - 6:54 am

  Like the title says this our 3rd Maxima. Just picked it up 2 weeks ago. Car only has 400+ miles. Traded in a loaded 2010 Acura TL SH-AWD and wife just never liked that car and now somes home every day asying she loves her new Maxima. This is our 3rd Maxima. Owned a 92 and still own an 03. You just get a lot of car for the money. Now hopefully it will be as reliable as the first one was. Keep you posted.
