Overview & Reviews

The Maxima has been fully redesigned for 2004. It now rides on the same underpinnings as the well-received Nissan Altima. This year's Maxima is longer, wider and more powerful than the previous version.

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

• Some small, oddly arranged controls.

  Fantastic Maxima - Best in the Market - 2004 Nissan Maxima
  By MAX2004 - November 5 - 11:33 pm

  Usually I do not give review unless I like the vehicle 100%. The 6th generation maxima is best in the industry. I purchased the vehicle in Aug, 2004 since then I put on around 18500 miles. No major problems. Only problem I had initially was with balancing. That was resolved with in 2 months after I purchased. Since then till today, I have no other issues. I always use premium fuel and getting consistent 25 miles per gal. Till today my car looks beautiful as new. Excellent performance and very comfortable. Before I used maxima, I used Toyota and Honda vehicles. They never come closer to the 6th generation maxima. I love my maxima. Thanks to Nissan

  "Smooth Car" - 2004 Nissan Maxima
  By TomB03 - November 4 - 1:43 pm

  This car is smooth. Abundant torque, loads of space, plenty of amenities and four doors make for a very fun ride indeed.

  A car that will shorten your trips - 2004 Nissan Maxima
  By MOHSpearhead - November 1 - 2:00 am

  After 3 months ownership I am more impressed with the car now than when I purchased it. Excellent ride and performance. Very comfortable, two hour drives seem short. Great fuel mileage of 22 mpg around town and 25 mpg on the road. Chose this car over 2004 Infiniti G35. Maxima is larger and more roomy. Maximas retain better resale value after 4 years than Infiniti (wife has 2000 Infiniti I30 and 2000 maximas bluebook for more.

  Wouldnt buy it again - 2004 Nissan Maxima
  By Rachel - October 13 - 11:03 am

  Bought this car after owning an Acura and a Camry. Both the Acura and Camry which are now 15 years old have had less problems than this Maxima. Had to have transmission replaced after warranty ran out. AC compressor had to be replaced. Motor went out on the driver seat and it will not move- not worth the expense ($250) to replace it. There is a constant rattle in the back panel. Nissan has not helped one bit with any of this or with the poor service and the run around I got at a particular Nissan dealership. Lastly the interior design with the radio, temp control, etc. is terrible and difficult to use while driving with all those buttons. I will never buy another Nissan. Get a Camry!

  To the Max - 2004 Nissan Maxima
  By Lenny B - October 8 - 10:00 am

  After five years in a Volvo, its a true pleasure to be back in a Maxima. Everywhere I go someone is looking at and complementing this car. I continue to be suprised at the available performance when I need to use the accelerator. After driving the SE model and the Infinity G35 sedan I selected the SL for its quietluxurious ride and standard features. With the 320 w Bose audio system playing my favorite CD I become lost in the spacious cabin and the idea of "Road Rage" is a thing of the past. Several switches located on the dash and in the center console could be relocated to allow the operator to see them.

  Thin line between love and hate - 2004 Nissan Maxima
  By E.Zinn - September 29 - 4:16 am

  Having bought this car as a demo with 5000 miles on it I attributed many of its brake, strut, rotor problems to being abused by the dealer. After reading many of these reviews now I realize they are design issues. Despite its flaws (see suggested improvements), overall I am happy with the car. I get about 430 miles per tank for the type of driving I do which is a hybrid of mostly highway/city driving. The car has plenty of room for 4 adults. Acceleration is excellent, just be prepared for the torque steering when you punch it. Car pulls when stopping and steering wheel shimmies on highway. Replaced horrible goodyear tires with Michelin Pilot MXM4 and have been 100% happy with them.

  I am so Happy! - 2004 Nissan Maxima
  By CarlyT - September 26 - 10:00 am

  I have always had SUVs - this is my first car and my first foreign vehicle. I am loving it. The price was a little high, but I am definitely reaping the benefits. I actually had someone tell me it looks like a one hundred thousand dollar car. The sleekness of it is so gorgeous.
