Is Maxima a sports car ?

Not a sports car at all, garbage
I'm on Maxima 2, never again. The CVT is ok to drive, but this one will need a replacement soon. God forbid you're out of warranty...

It's kinda quick for a boat, but JEEEEEZUS Nissan must be using the springs and struts off a Sentra... Rear sags like a mofo with 200lbs in the rear, and if you go over any bump, that áss goes up and down like the struts are shot, even though they're fine...

Oh, about the quickness. The Maxima only allows for 80% throttle 0-40, then 100% 40-80, and over 80MPH, you go back to 80% throttle, to help save the "CVT BOOM"... The Maxima guys tune it to give 100% all the time and damn it makes it an actual "quick" car, but then tranny life goes to shít.

I'm very anti-Nissan now, moreso against the Maxima, it's like the Lexus ES, they really haven't changed the underpinnings in 10-ish years, too bad Nissan doesn't learn from their mistakes in previous gens, they change the body, leave almost everything else the same
