My 2009 Nissan Maxima Review with Pictures

[michaelle8885]

I absolutely love this car, it is still surreal to me that I own this vehicle. I upgraded from my 96 Honda Accord 4 Dr LX to a 09 Nissan Maxima SV SP. Of course there is a huge difference and my 96 Accord can't compare to this but I'm being honest that this car is amazing. Although I liked the new design of the Maxima, I was hesitant with the design of the rear but when I went to the dealership and saw this car in person it looks so much better, especially with the rear spoiler on it. I got the Sport Package that has the 19in alloy rims and spoiler upgrade and it's is so beautiful. I am one of the few, if not the only, person to have this car in my area so far, I see a lot of eyes and heads turning when I'm driving. The standard features are great and convienent to use, the seating is comfortable and so is the ride, A LOT of space in the rear for passengers (leg room), more than you think. The BOSE sound system is amazing and sounds great, steering is smooth as well as the handling. One of my favorite things about the car is when you push the start button and the engine starts it sounds so "aggressive" and when you punch the gas the thing sounds mean, but don't get me wrong, it's not loud and annoying, it's just... sporty. The only thing I do not like about the car is that the rear windows do not go down all the way into the door frame, when you put the windows down at it's lowest, the window is still 3-4 inches visible.

GOOD: powerful, comfortable, smooth, aggressive looking, beautiful, great features, BOSE sound system, new design

BAD: when you put the rear windows down they do not go all the way into the door frame, MPG is poor, listed as 19/26 but I think it's really 17/24, and when I fill up it doesn't seem like a 20 gallon tank

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CAR

Please feel free to ask me anything about the car, I'll try my best to answer it with accuracy, keeping in mind it is my personal opinion.

no mods, i'm really just gonna keep it clean. I was gonna add tint but the dealership already put it on and I was thinking about changing the mood light but the ambiance light inside the car is already orange so I'm just gonna keep the mood light orange as well. Thanks for reading. I took a few pictures tonight but only a few came out good, I'll post those and Ill take more later.

Good review!! I really like the new dash!!

[AcMav]

I like i like, But i cringe to see what you paid for that

Why didnt you decide to go G35 if I may ask? They're the same price range (We got our G35s for around 36k).

[michaelle8885]

actually I got it for $33k drive out price and it came with the tint and 2 year free maintenance (oil change and tire rotation), and no one has this Maxima yet and a couple of my friends have the G35 4 door so I definately didn't want to get one.

it look so good i want one more everytime i see one. i hope they bring them out to aus!

are they the stock floor mats? and if they are 19's that car must be able to fit som massive wheels on it.
