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.

  Good bang for the buck - 2004 Nissan Maxima
  By Fraser - July 1 - 10:00 am

  Looked long and hard right across the board from accura to volvo there was good and bad for all for me the Max was it, large inside I got the four seat car and it came with alot more than the is300 . the motor has been out for years and has good power the 5 speed auto is smooth and works well (did not drive the 6 speed) I keep my cars for years did not want to be driving a 6 speed when Im 65 . Have not been able to get the 35 mpg clamed but the car will get 31mpg all day at 110>120 kph and I have recived 900km out of a tank of gas out of a 75 ltr tank with left over. Over all very happy with the car can not go wrong with this one.

  Best Deal for $$$ - 2004 Nissan Maxima
  By STEELDOG - June 25 - 10:00 am

  Traded in 95 VW Passat. Bought SE model with cloth seats used with 7600 miles. Dealers wouldnt budge much on sticker price on new. Love the care. But needs minor improvements. Test drove SAAB 9-3, Honda Accord, Acura TSX, Mazda6, Volvo S60. Best deal for money.

  DONT BUY A 2004 MAXIMA - 2004 Nissan Maxima
  By lynnfrct - June 18 - 10:40 pm

  Bought it with 19K - now have 86K. 3rd set of brakes and 4th set of tires. Now replacing the tranny & timing belt for over $5K. Before the ext warranty expired I told dealer I was having transmission issues. They said it was the motor mount which they repaired. Once out of warranty the tranny went completely. Appealed to Nissan NA - no success. Asked local service manager why I should put in another Nissan tranny and he said "Dont worry they fixed the problem" admitting there were issues with the 2004 trannys. There is a class action suit for the trans if anyone is interested. Last car payment is next month. Tears. No more car payments but a huge charge bill for repairs.

  Too Big, Too Expensive, Too Much like.. - 2004 Nissan Maxima
  By comparo - May 20 - 10:00 am

  The Altima!! Looks like an oversized Altima. Even though it has 10 more hp its slower than the 2002/2003 model because it gained 150+ pounds! $35K for a FWD V6 Nissan Maxima??? The G35 would make more sense. 2004 Maxima lost its uniqueness as a flagship. For less, you can get an Altima, for the same price, get the G35

  Expected more punch - 2004 Nissan Maxima
  By crepit - April 6 - 10:00 am

  From a styling point of view the car is very appealing {to most people).You get alot of positive comments from passers by and freinds.Very comfortable and roomy. Very well put together with few quality flaws.I am somewhat dissappointed with the responsiveness of the engine\transmission combo.For 265 horses I thought the car would pull stronger.I am very demanding and critical with respect to acceleration and would have expected more out of this engine.As well the tipronic upshifts to soon for my liking,shifting well above redline.The ride is firm,and the car handles very well for its size.Overall good value for your dollar

  Maxima to the maximum! - 2004 Nissan Maxima
  By Nomad10 - April 1 - 10:00 am

  This car has pure adrenaline written on it. Horsepower is tops for a "family" sedan/sports car. The styling is elegant and a definite head-turner to all it passes along the way.Interior desing is like a cockpit with comfort that makes even the longest drives easy to make. Roomy and intersting to the eye also describe the interior. Nissan has stepped up the game on their sedans.
