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.

  Buyer Beware - 2005 Nissan Maxima
  By Robin - February 29 - 10:16 pm

  The sunroof leaks in the car wash. After 3 attempts to have the problem fixed, I received a copy of the Nissan work instruction stating If water leaks occur only when using an automatic car wash or high pressure water spray, no repair is necessary. All the positive aspects of the car are overshadowed by the leaking sunroof. Buyer Beware -- Nissan does not warranty the sunroof in a car wash and this information is not available to consumers prior to purchase. If you never use an automatic car wash, this is the car for you. Otherwise, buy a Toyota.

  So impressed, bought two of them!!!! - 2005 Nissan Maxima
  By jinsatx - February 27 - 11:40 pm

  Dont know where to start. Always liked the Max, bought my first one in 86 (yes, the one with the talking voice) and have liked them ever since. Bought the wife one on Saturday and drove it all weekend. Woke up Monday morning and had to drive my Sebring Convertible to work (different, but not a Max). Woke up on Tuesday morning and decided I had to have one of my own. Tuesday afternoon bought mine. Twins, DPP, sunroof, only mine has the VDC package. Hers, Coral Sand, mine Liquid Silver. In my mind best car for the money Ive ever seen. Traded a 2000 Accord EXL v6 on my wifes car. Dont care what they say, liked the Accord for 5 years, but this Max puts the new Accord to shame.

  Worse vehicle I have ever purchased... - 2005 Nissan Maxima
  By 1traviesa - February 19 - 6:48 pm

  This car has been nothing but problems since I purchased. Mainly the transmission. Shoddy build from the start. Defective valve body used in this year model causes the transmission to falter and high cost to repair. Manufacturer will not repair or recall. Trusted the name Nissan but now will never again buy a car from this manufacturer

  WOW - 2005 Nissan Maxima
  By Melissa Middlebrooks - January 28 - 7:26 pm

  Our Maxima is dark blue on the outside and heaven on the inside. never before have i seen a car like this! I cant beleive it was only $30K. The other day on my way home i was listening to music not realy paying attention. i started to notice the cars around me going realy slow; curiously i started looking around until i noticed that everybody was not going slow, I was going 115MPH. 115MPH in a full size sedan...hints the name of the reveiw. This car also has the best excelleration i have ever seen. My son drives a 1996 honda delsol turbo which he has fixed up for racing, he passed me on the way home one day and just for fun, i tried to catch up. Needless to say, I passed him like he was stil

  Love My Maxima! - 2005 Nissan Maxima
  By SidneyS - January 20 - 5:50 pm

  I have been privileged to drive some wonderful vehicles including the 5 series BMW. However, this is, by far, the BEST sedan Ive enjoyed. Its quiet, comfortable, safe and above all, reliable. The owners manual is most helpful in detailing what needs to be done regarding services. Following the manufacturers recommendations, this car will last forever. I highly recommend the Maxima if you want luxury and sensibility combined!

  Great Car - 2005 Nissan Maxima
  By JD - January 16 - 2:40 am

  Awesome car, drives great, no problems so far. Gas mileage 23.5 city 28.0 hwy with regular fuel, premium fuel doesnt do anything that I notice the mileage and the power are the same, all you do is give the oil companies more money.

  mone pit - 2005 Nissan Maxima
  By redfur1977 - January 7 - 9:01 pm

  This has been the best and worst I have ever owned. The car handles great. Gets 30 mpg at 70mph. Wasnt expensive. Beautiful to look at. But it has been the most un reliable piece I have ever had the displease of owning. Bought the car with 100k. Two weeks after buying it transmision rebuild($4400). Then broke the cv joints because the transmission stressed them slamming into gear before the rebuild. Them a complete suspension rebuild. Now it need timing chain guides. Memory seats never worked. I have had over $8000 in repairs to this car and now..... The transmission is goin out again at 160k. Cant wait to get me an american car. FIrst and last Jap car I will own.

  Great car - 2005 Nissan Maxima
  By ll - January 1 - 8:53 pm

  Bought preowned sl / nav. with 7,000 miles. Have had mercedes and lexus, and this car is comparable for the price. Lots of luxury features. Great handling. Nissan really is competing with higher end cars. So far, VERY satisfied.
