Overview & Reviews

Improved manual transmission shift feel (thanks to a shorter shift stroke), black-tone brake calipers, additional chrome accents inside and new softer leather upholstery. Auto-dimming outside mirrors are now available, and a new 12-volt power point resides at the base of the center stack.

• Roomy interior, lots of upscale options, sweet V6, available with a manual transmission.

• So-so center stack ergonomics, premium price without the premium nameplate.

  Avoid this 2005 Maxima - 2005 Nissan Maxima
  By rcs26 - March 26 - 4:11 pm

  I have bought all new cars Malibu(150k), Camry(225K) & donated both cars while running good. Then I bought new Toyota sienna ( 252K & running good), I decided to buy new & different car & I bought brand new design Maxima "Nissans Flagship Car" with so much hope. It ran good for 2 yrs & then started breaking down. Dealer fixed whatever was under warranty. After all warranties expired major things started breaking. I replaced all Camshaft sensors. A/C was fixed twice still leaking. Struts and tie-rods were replaced. Within last year timing chain guides & transmission broke, estimate ~$7000. Now I was told it leaks oil. Havent decide whether to repair/resale. I still love to buy new Nissan.

  Best Car I have Ever Owned - 2005 Nissan Maxima
  By Christene - March 20 - 11:13 pm

  Smooth ride with ample horsepower. Interior design is beautiful, comfortable, with spacious leg and head room. The Bose system delivers high quality sound with no distortion. This is my second Nissan and I never have any maintenance problems. Reliable car and a head turner. Great price for a car with a lot of extras.

  fun with $$ - 2005 Nissan Maxima
  By scotto - February 23 - 7:43 pm

  had the maxima 2 weeks and its performed beyond my expectations. opted for the cloth interior SE and my only problem is with the velcro like seats that really hold you in place even at really slow speeds. seats are comfortable though and the engine is so sweet.

  This car turns heads... - 2005 Nissan Maxima
  By Danté D. - January 28 - 5:16 am

  I have an 04 Onxy Drivers preferred package SE. I love everything about it. I looked at an Audi, Lexus, Acura, etc. and this wins hands down. For the money its one of the best cars on the road. I see myself driving this car for many, many years. They could have put a little more thought into some of the cheap plastic parts in the interior but the performance and styling more than make up for it. Overall grade - A+.

  2004 Maxma - 2005 Nissan Maxima
  By Car Buff - January 18 - 5:16 am

  I have driven Cadillacs and Jags for the past fifteen years. I got tired of the high maintenance costs and decided to try a Japanese profuct. I settled on the Maxima. By far it is the best automobile I have ever owned. Not a single warrantee issue, where after three mnths I would have been to the Cadillac dealer several times to fix annoying rattles or mechanical problems.

  Unhappy Owner - 2005 Nissan Maxima
  By Danny - January 15 - 7:30 am

  Car has shimmy in front wheels, dealer says they cant fix it. A/C works intermittently, chrome is coming off all 4 wheels, rattles in front and rear of car. Every time I take it in for repair, dealer says no problem found. Car had a rattle underneath it, I found a nut missing off of the tailpipe hangar. Not the dealers problem, but had to replace the tires at 15k because of cracking in sidewalls. This is the first and last Nissan I will own, because of poor build quality and lousy customer service from dealer.

  Great Car - 2005 Nissan Maxima
  By paw - December 20 - 11:00 pm

  It is a very snappy car. Holds the road very well. It is a very stylish looking Car. I went from a Yukon xl to car and thought the room would be a big factor, but it acutally is quite roomy. Stopping is excellent. I love the telescope steering wheel. So far I love it. My daughter likes the fact that we are riding on 18 inch wheels.

  Mixed feelings... - 2005 Nissan Maxima
  By luckygrl1121 - December 18 - 7:46 pm

  I purchased my 2005 Maxima SE (used) about 6 mths ago. Loved it at first, but over time Ive noticed some neg things. Sharp exterior though the chrome on the front grille is starting to peel off. Ive noticed this is a common problem in these cars. It has a lot of get up and go, but the steering is a little unstable with acceleration. Also, rattling noise with accel. Handles terribly in the snow! I expected more from this car. Interior is roomy and comfortable, but kinda cheap & confusing. Defaults to A/C when you change the mode. Also, gas mileage is not as good as I thought itd be. Turning radius is awful! Parking is more difficult than a car this size should be. Not sure Ill buy another.

  Flawless Acceleration - 2005 Nissan Maxima
  By Ultritium - November 15 - 11:03 am

  I test drove other mid-size cars in similar price ranges; Camry, Accord Ex, Mustang GT 4.0 and none accelerated like the Maxima. I do a lot of highway driving, and hate not being able to pull out and away from a bunch of slow pokes, who love riding each others bumpers.
