This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Roomy interior, lots of upscale options, sweet V6, available with a manual transmission.
Cons:
  • Some small, oddly arranged controls.

    my driving experience has been pleaserable in this car. it has plenty of room for five adults and the engine sounds great.owning the car has been less of a fun factor, the brakes are less than perfect on the car it can benefit from better performance brakes as an option on the car.

  • This car gets lots of looks - 2004 Nissan Maxima
    By -

    This car has been perfect for us. No problems at all. Great looking, rides great, no wind noise, controls in the right places, good performance, excellent sound system. Dropped our 15 y/o son off at a party and the other boys said wow cool car. My 21 y/o daughter that drives Celica took two hours to go get milk. Get the sun roof not those silly roof windows. In Wisconsin, the heated steering wheel is awesome.

  • Great looks. Fun to drive. - 2004 Nissan Maxima
    By -

    After years of buying Toyota Camrys, I switched to the Nissan Maxima this year because of its much sharper styling and quality features -- such as the DVD Navigation System -- not available in the Camry. The car is solid, quiet, quick, fun to drive, and looks great.

  • One Great Car - 2004 Nissan Maxima
    By -

    Ive bought cars from the "Big 3" for the past 30 years. This is our first Nissan. Have had no initial problems with the car with 10k on it now. Time will tell for the future. The car is a blast to drive and have had no negative comments.The only recommendation is to get the traction control. I bought mine without and regretted it. The car is perfect otherwise.

  • Love My Car! - 2004 Nissan Maxima
    By -

    Driving my new Maxima SL is a joy! I love the smooth feel of the car. It handles like a MUCH more expensive car. Everywhere I go people stop and comment about how beautiful it is. Also, I cant believe the gas mileage I am getting! I have been waiting to buy a new car that I loved to look at and loved to drive. I have finally found it!

  • Runs like new @ 75K - 2004 Nissan Maxima
    By -

    I bought the car brand new in 2004. Now have 75K miles. Still drives like new and still having fun driving it. Great Bose sound system (not sure why it has a tape player, never used it). Does not drive well in Wisconsin weather. Low pro tire needs replacement every 40K and pricey. Replaced by front grill b/c of peeling (common issue). Nissan great about fixing recalls. Overall pretty satisfied.
