Overview & Reviews
After a full redesign last year, the Nissan Maxima heads into 2010 pretty much unchanged. Nissan has simplified the sedan's options packaging by offering one unified Technology package rather than three. Also debuting is a Monitor package, which allows customers to enjoy a 7-inch color monitor without having to first purchase the Technology package. Bluetooth is now standard across all models.
- Precise steering, strong V6, high-quality interior craftsmanship, plenty of high-tech features, excellent iPod integration.
- Lacks the brand cachet its price tag might imply, compromised middle rear seat with Sport or Premium packages, equipment stuffed into expensive packages.

Bad Transmission - 2010 Nissan Maxima
By Dave - December 20 - 3:03 amI really like this car however the CVT transmission has a flaw. It sometimes will not take off from a stop and the main problem with that is it just happens no warning signs or anything. Could be very dangerous if you pull out in traffic expecting your car to move and it decides not to! Car is at the dealership now with them trying to figure what is wrong. This car scares me and I only hope Nissan can assure me they have it fixed! It seems that this is a problem Nissan has had with the CVT for a while. I would not buy one until Nissan can prove the problem has been solved!

Outstanding Machine - 2010 Nissan Maxima
By Tupdog12 - December 13 - 7:50 amThis is one heck of an automobile. I purchased an 09 Maxima in May of 09 and put 18,000 miles on it in 6 months (all pleasure). My ego & love for this automobile got the best of me so I purchased a new 2010 Maxima equipped the same way (Nav & Sport pkg.)and even maintained the same white color. The performance is fantastic and despite other comments, I love the CVT. Boy!! It is smooth. The engine has just enough growl and fuel mileage is acceptable considering what you are driving.(22/23 overall) Based upon my experience with a 2009 Murano dual moonroof, I do not recommend the premium package (dual moonroof) until Nissan is able to develop a moonroof wind deflector. Too much wind noise.

9 months later - 2010 Nissan Maxima
By Michael - November 26 - 10:00 amI still love this car as much as the day I bought it. Over 7,000 miles now and there is only one small issue I have noticed. I tend to always drive in sport mode because the engine seems to shift better and is more responsive. When driving in automatic, especially if you floor it, the engine will stay at a high rpm as if it will not shift into the next gear. It gets annoying although the car is more fuel efficient in automatic mode than sport mode. So, that being said the car is definitely more fun to drive in sport mode. I would rate the gas mileage at or a little above average. I like to drive fast and accelerate hard, plus I always use 93 octane. It can be expensive sometimes to fill up.

Hands Down Best Car Ive Ever Owned - 2010 Nissan Maxima
By mjg - April 21 - 10:00 amI have owned three Maximas prior to the 2010 and this is by far my favorite. The features are comparable to that of a $50,000 luxury sedan. If you are on the fence, go with the Nissan. Best buy for the money!

Move over BMW! - 2010 Nissan Maxima
By Greatone - March 20 - 9:13 pmI just leased a 2010 Maxima SV with the monitor and cold package. This car flies! I mean you put the petal to the metal and you get on the highway real quick. This is a car that will make others turn their heads. I also got the new color, crimson black, which looks very luxurious. I have had two previous versions of the Maxima, and this by far is the best.

A better G - 2010 Nissan Maxima
By paul - March 16 - 9:33 amJust leased a SV with premium and tech packages. Got a super deal. Coming out of a G35x. The drivers seat on the Maxima is more comfortable with the heated seat also warming your back. Cannot wait to try the ac in the seat. You can reach the seat power adjusters easier on this car. Performance is very near the Infinity but slightly improved gas economy.The nav system is very easy to ues. The bluetooth works just as in the G, Nissan parts commonality at work. I drive more than 20,000 miles a year and this car has enough tech stuff to make that a a pleasure. I think is a great value compared to most entry level luxury competitors.

Better get the 100,000 mile warranty - 2010 Nissan Maxima
By All good - January 28 - 7:46 pmSport model is fantastic to drive if you like hugging corners and quick acceleration. Feels like a German car but 20k less. Needs more sound dampening around the fender wells.Drove many other cars with similar power and handling. Best car in class for the money. And yes I do own a German car. Nissan stepped up to the German counterparts with the electronic controls.

2nd Maxima - 2010 Nissan Maxima
By 2010 Maxima SV-Sport - December 21 - 8:36 pmThis is my second Maxima, previously I had a 2007. No mechanical problems with the previous one, but at least they have improved the turning radius. I love the look of the new one and the performance.

Love this Car!! - 2010 Nissan Maxima
By Lynn - August 11 - 5:56 pmI love this car! I previously owned an 08 CTS and an 09 Acura TL and the 2010 Nissan Maxima is my favorite by far. I love the way it drives, quick pickup and smooth. It looks great inside and out, has all the technology items I could want and I just enjoy driving it. I got the SV Sport with the sport technology and monitor pkg. This is the car I have been looking for.

I like it! - 2010 Nissan Maxima
By Ron A - August 8 - 1:33 pmPurchased the last day of 2009 to take advantage of government tax breaks. I bought the Nissan with the Performance package. So far so good. Im averaging over 25 mpg. Plenty of power. Havent really used the paddle shifters as yet. I looked at the Acura TL, Infiniti 37Gx. I liked the G37 but it was too loud for my wifes tastes. The TL had less front head and leg room and Im 64". My previous Nissan Maxima had automatic folding mirrors. That really the only thing I miss. Im anxious to try out the air cooled drivers seat
