  My Maxima is the MAX. - 2016 Nissan Maxima
  By Joe Dvorsky - March 21 - 9:29 am

  The Maxima is a great car. I only have 660 miles on my Maxima SL, and already love it. It is a great value considering the equipment included. The SL is so well equipped, that there are no option packages. Everything that is optional are individual items. The fit and finish is something you would expect to see in a Lexus, Acura, Cadillac, etc. If I were to say anything negative, I would say the Maxima never quite lived up to the 4DSC label, and the new 2016 is no exception. Despite this, the car is fast (well composed at high speeds), handles very well, and is a great driving experience. I have had my Maxima on two road trips, and hoped neither would come to an end.

  Great machine 2016 SL - 2016 Nissan Maxima
  By Dick - March 3 - 1:05 pm

  This is my first maxima and I am very much impressed by its performance and fuel economy. After reading some of these negative reviews I am at a loss at how they came to say they got poor gas mileage or there was inadequate power, etc. Obviously these people either dont know how to drive their machines or are never satisfied with anything. If they were rating a Rolls Royce it would obviously have a multitude of faults!

  Cool & Gorgeous! - 2016 Nissan Maxima
  By Deborah - November 9 - 2:21 pm

  If you want a 4 door sedan thats cool, yet chic, yet practical, yet sporty & fun to drive ... you should test drive the 2016 Maxima! If you dont necessarily want a convertible, the SL has the double panoramic sunroof! It really is the 4 door sports car they say it is! Love it! I did have to learn to duck my head a little to get in (Im tall & wear heels!), and it does not get the great gas mileage as my Altima but its not a deal breaker because its still good. (Believe me, I dont buy gas guzzlers no matter how much I like the car!) Try it out!

  So glad I waited for the 2016 - 2016 Nissan Maxima
  By James Craven - November 2 - 5:46 pm

  Over the years, I have purchased Maximas in 2007 and 2011. I had been waiting for the 2016 Maxima for a while and when the car began appearing on local Nissan lots, I was immediately contacted by the dealerships since I had been bothering them wanting to know when the 2016s would arrive. When I first test drove the one Maxima they had on the lot, I was not impressed. It might have had something to do with the fact that they would not let me take it out on the road. Anyway, I left to return when they had more of a selection to choose from. I was able to test drive an SL and was blown away by the acceleration, handling and style. I was able to take it on mountain roads as well as the interstate. I could not have been happier. I was all set to purchase the SL but saw the Platinum version and that was all I needed. Took the Platinum home 2 hours later. I have had this car since July 4, 2015 and couldnt be more satisfied. This is a great car. I have actually had people stop me in parking lots wanting to see the interior and talk about the car. Do yourself a huge favor and get this car. It is really fun to drive and it will definitely turn heads.

Once u put your foot on gas pedal u will see what I mean!!! Get compliments all the time. Deep Blue Pearl baby!!!

  Great premium level sporty family sedan - 2016 Nissan Maxima
  By Kevin L - July 7 - 7:11 pm

  If youre looking for a premium family sedan with cabin space that can fit 5 people comfortably, look elsewhere. If youre looking for a premium family sedan with performance, sporty feel, AND fits 4 people comfortably, this is THE CAR! Materials used and the technologies included with the Platinum trim in this car are top-notch with this price tag. When you sit inside the car, it really feels more like a sports car than a traditional sedan because of the interior design, this is probably why Nissan wants to label it as a 4DSC (4 doors sports car). Handling is great for a car thats between mid-full size. Acceleration is plenty with 300HP and 261lb-ft torque. Some people complain about the CVT installed in this car, however those are also enthusiasts who should be driving sticks instead of auto if they really want that "feel" of the engine. IMO, CVT in this car is not bad at all and Id say 95% of the population wont even notice the difference if they werent told about the CVT. With the CVT, my best fuel economy so far is 34mpg highway and averaging 24mpg in city. Safety features that come with this car and especially in Platinum trim are great to have. My car insurance went down 40% switching from a 2011 Camry to this car. Insurance agent told me thats probably because of the safety features and safety ratings from the new Maxima. If youre considering this car, Id suggest watching some review and comparison videos on Youtube.

  If you love to drive - 2016 Nissan Maxima
  By Terry Tedford - March 6 - 8:18 am

  This is a drivers car. Great pickup and engine growl in sport mode. Its a heavy car so handling is good but not great. During a 4 hour drive the seats stayed wonderfully comfortable. Firm and supportive. While at a stop light, several people have told me how great the car looks. So far very satisfied.

  Fun Driving!! - 2016 Nissan Maxima
  By My Max - February 21 - 10:19 pm

  I was considering the 2016 BMW 328xi. Who wouldnt its a BMW. After doing some serious research the 328xi base model didnt match up to the 2016 Maxima SR. After adding all the bells and whistles I wanted to the 328xi the price tag went from sub 40k to mid 50k. The 2016 Maxima SR was my choice. All those bells and whistles I wanted came standard for a price tag of sub 40k. Navigation, premium sound system, back up camera, sonar sensors, heated seats, heated steering wheel, really cool 19" wheels oh dont forget the 300 horses that make those 19s look even better on the road. Thats just to name a few. Im super excited I decide to go with the Maxima it has everything I wanted plus a few extras. If your looking for more BANG for your BUCK consider the Maxima. Cuddos to Nissan on a job well done!!!

  Traded my 2014 Mustang for the all new Maxima!!! - 2016 Nissan Maxima
  By Gina - July 19 - 10:43 pm

  This car is awesome inside and out! I wasnt really looking to trade out of my beloved 2014 Mustang until I saw this car online. Then I went for a test drive and was blown away. I had to have it! Nissan has done a superior job with redesigning the 2016 Maxima! For those of you in need of a sedan at a great price that comes well equipped in all models and yet still gives a sporty look and feel, this is the one to buy!
