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

• Some small, oddly arranged controls.

  This Car Will Always Be Golden - 2004 Nissan Maxima
  By SuperMax - June 10 - 10:00 am

  This car has never been better. Nice quiet ride with very aggressive and responsive pulls at hard acceleration. Its a 2005 so it doesnt have too many bugs, but thats yet to be witnessed. An overall good value.

  Have 9000 miles and no warranty issues. Will try to adjust doors on right side to see if road noise goes away. Great on long trips, very comfortable

  Every Max I get is better - 2004 Nissan Maxima
  By Mitiwanga - May 14 - 2:00 am

  Ive owned Nissans since 1971. This one is by far the best. Lots of power, and although Im somewhat disappointed in the gas mileage (about 22.5), I expect it to get better. The Bose is great, and I like the computer in the middle of the dash. I opted for the sun roof instead of those faux pax sun screens, and I think I like the sun roof better.

  Beautiful. Waste of money - 2004 Nissan Maxima
  By ataylor13 - May 13 - 1:07 pm

  I purchased this car due to how beautiful it is and powerful, got a great deal on it but now I know why it was so cheap. After a week of having this car at 111,400 miles I realized it is having minor transmission issues. Going fast and staying at a consistent shift it drives like a dream. Stop and go traffic however; a nightmare. Wasted my time and money, currently looking for a new commuter due to me going to college and working.

  2004 SE - 2004 Nissan Maxima
  By Stephen Napolitano - May 9 - 2:00 am

  My Maxima now has 6,000 miles on it and I have experienced absolutely no problems with it. It runs and handles better than the (now old) BMW 5 series. The skylight is a little different but the kids like it. The trunk swallows golf bags and the back seat is actually comfortable.

  Deceptively Quick - 2004 Nissan Maxima
  By cndrdan - May 4 - 10:00 am

  Ive owned a half a dozen Nissans, and have been pleased with them all, but my 2004 Maxima stands head and shoulders above its predecessors. A real attention getter style-wise and very fast off the line (especially for an automatic transmission). I LOVE IT !!

  Awesome! - 2004 Nissan Maxima
  By Vrhodes - April 29 - 11:50 am

  Love it! love it! love it! Ive owned mine for two years. The only thing I would change is the cup holders in the back should be larger. they only accommodate a cup the size of a soda can. bummer for the kids. other than that...LOVE IT!

  Better than a Beemer - 2004 Nissan Maxima
  By JPG - April 28 - 10:00 am

  Its a great car, the engine performance is all I had hoped for. I love that there is a lot of space inside and compared to both the 3 and new 5 series BMW, I feel you get a lot more bang for your buck, especially when you consider maintenance costs. The navigation system is a big plus for me and although it took some time to figure out it has some great features!

  a look back - 2004 Nissan Maxima
  By ew - April 21 - 2:00 am

  The Maxima has been a pleasure to drive. The handling is excellent and the car is quick! Many people have stopped me to ask questions. It looks good. I have two friends that have riden and driven my Maxima and both have ordered the 2005 model. This is the 3rd Nisson Ive had and all have had incredible reliability. I will probably trade my 2000 SUV in on a 2005 Pathfinder.
