Nissan Maxima

SalA · 10-20-2010, 09:25 AM

I recently rented a 2010 Maxima and it is really a nice vehicle. The ride is a little soft for me, but if you order the SE model or a sport suspension if available, it would be fine.

Anyone here own one or know someone that has one? "newer one of course"

Some may be asking why not a z? Simply put I can not afford the z. For my civic last year for full coverage was almost 610 but with two accidents coming off this winter this will help my insurance rates. But with a sports car they would almsot be in the 600 mark again. Plus the passenger room and the style of the front lights is like a z which I like. I will be getting the sports package for the suspension the HID's and rear led tail lights alos the leather.

I bought my 2010 Maxima SV in April this year and love it. 290hp VQ35DE-K absolutely screams. The CVT takes some getting used to, but after a few weeks you barely notice it. Manual mode via the console shifter or paddles in the SV Sport model are lightning quick.

The front seats are phenomenal. Huge side bolsters, tons of leg room in the front and rear seats, and lots of head room even with the sun roof. I'm 6'5" and I have more than enough room. The Bose 9 speaker stereo sounds great as well.

Honestly, I got my car for a steal. Sticker price on the SV with cold weather pkg was about 35K and I was able to get them down to 28,800. If you're looking to do some mods, the aftermarket is a bit small for the 7th gen Max at this point. Feel free to PM me if you want and I can give you some more details.

I agree...the car can definitely move. Great Nissan Motor

Shifts are quick because in a CVT there are no gears so there really isn't any shifting

Exactly. They give you 6 fake cogs to row through with preset ratios.

Thanks for that opinion, I am defiantly getting the sport package.

I agree when I saw a video on how the car accelerates I had to go test drive one. I understand it now. Also testing shows the manual mode is slower than letting the computers take care of it. But it is more of a real feel. The seats OMG when I got in one the first time I felt small. My legs had so much room and I am 6ft 3in I felt like I finally found a car that fit me.

Thanks for the offer I am thinking exhaust and intake will take me to at least 300hp

i must say, the split second in which there is a maxima coupe, it looks pretty nice. they should replace the altima coupe with that.

GM_Traitor3.5 · 10-20-2010, 11:38 AM

When I saw that commercial I had a good laugh. I agree that the two door version looks pretty good compared to the Altima coupe!

the altima coupe is girly and the front is ugly. If i had to get a sedan and sell the Z, i'd get a g37S sedan. its nice how it basically comes fully loaded.

wow jeff, what a traitor... you dissapoint

lol, matt the maxima is nice, I was set on getting it before the Z. I drove it once and thought its very comfy... it really has everything you need for a great driving experience, very good for the money you pay!

Jeffblue · 10-20-2010, 02:19 PM

how old are you btw? if 25 isn't to far out, your rates will significantly decrease. couple that with a defensive driving class and your rates should be a fair amount lower. and i'm assuming 610 is for 6 months of coverage?

bigaudiofanat · 10-20-2010, 02:23 PM

22 and already did the class
