  Best car I have ever owned - 2004 Nissan Maxima
  By RonSteinbach - October 17 - 10:00 am

  This car has it all! It is a hotrod, i.e., faster than most cars on the street. It is a luxury car. It is totally fun to drive, and it is an economy car (27 to 31 mpg on the highway). You can pay up to twice as much for very little more, but why? At 90 mph the car is rock solid in feel. I would highly recommend buying the SE model with the 5-speed automatic transmission. This transmission can shift much faster than any human can. If you insist on shifting, the automatic transmission has a manual shift mode. This car will place a perpetual smile on any enthusiasts face!

  Best performance for the money. - 2004 Nissan Maxima
  By littlesue - October 17 - 2:00 am

  I drove the acura TL-type S and it could not compete. This thing is phenominal. It drives like a sports car with the comfort of a sedan and the ourstanding reliability that is synonumus with Nissan. And much cheaper than type-S. Nothing out there competes with it.

  Fantastic Value - 2004 Nissan Maxima
  By gen6lover - October 17 - 2:00 am

  Nissan hit it on the money with this one. The design and performance sold me on this car. I was looking at an Altima and Im glad I waited. For a price difference of less than $1,500 you get a much better interior and many more features than a similiarly equipped Altima 3.5SE. Skyview roof is perfect for us 63" tall drivers who cant loose the headroom of a conventional sunroof.

  2004 Maxima- OH NO - 2004 Nissan Maxima
  By Jan - October 2 - 3:43 am

  The worst turn radius ever imaginable, it turns like a bus. After hearing about its safety, I see why its equipped with so many air bags. Reports say that it has the worst safety rating in its class. My car was hit by a shopping cart in a parking lot and sustained unbelievable damage. A SHOPPING CART!! Its a comfortable, beautiful car. I cant get over the fact that it dents so easily, which is backed up by the safety rating, In an accident you are probably totalled out. For this reason after only 9000 miles, Im looking for another car. And the deal I received at Victory Nissan is a whole different story. Avoid them at all costs. BUYER BEWARE.I should have listened to others.

  Lovin it so far! - 2004 Nissan Maxima
  By bbfan97 - September 30 - 2:00 am

  I use to own a Lexus GS 300 and the lease ran out so rather than purchase that car at $22k I looked into buying a new mid size car. Im sure glad I did because my new Maxima has greater acceleration and more front and rear leg room. I had bought my lexus new back in 1999 and remember had great I thought that car was fun to drive but this car will pin you to the seat if you hit the gas. I did have great luck from a quality stand point from my Lexus so Im extremely interested in how this Nissan will hold up. If it holds up over time I think I will have made a great decision. I will have also saved a ton of money.

  The Very Best - 2004 Nissan Maxima

  Buy it if you can the right PRICE - 2004 Nissan Maxima
  By rasyoyo - September 13 - 10:00 am

  I found this vehichle to be outstanding in the off the line department, car really gives you some white knuckle driving while its doing it thing to get you out on the expressway and down the expressway. On tight backroads it a little soft in the turns and needs serious attention from the driver to accomplish fast left to right turning while braking. My wipers dont clean so well, driving in the rain is a pain, but that could be my fault for not asking for new ones after purchase. Car draws alot of attention even while sitting. Interior needs an extreme upgrade on materials used, the finish looks cheap but can be corrected with aftermarket parts.

  Always somthing wrong - 2004 Nissan Maxima
  By Harry - September 1 - 1:30 am

  Whats next? It started with fuel leaks on the fuel rail. Two in fact. Then wheel bearings. Then brake rotors warping continually. Next came the A/C leaks. Now the A/C compressor is making a noise. The struts are shot and bottoming out and the engine is whining. Clear coat peeling of chrome grill. Whats next? Im not hanging on to find out! Its out of here!

  Excellent Car - 2004 Nissan Maxima
  By DNM - August 30 - 10:00 am

  Love the car. Have had it for about a month and a half. No problems aside from having to have the tires rebalanced for a slight vibration a 60mph. Excellent power, though handling isnt like a sportscar since it is quite a large car. 18" rims are great, style is modern, and the value is there as long as you dont load up on the options..specifically the Nav system. Much better value than a 5 Series BMW at an astonishing $45k.
