New Nissan Maxima
Discussion
Hi after buying a couple of Nissans for my wife I decided to take the plunge with one.
I wanted a 4 door sedan with a reasonable turn of pace and a reasonably luxurious interior. I had never seen a Maxima before, let alone the new shape, however after seeing one when dropping my wife's car in I quite liked it and took one out.
I am now the owner of an ex-demo Maxima. 300bhp (3.6l V6) so moves reasonably well and is reasonably luxurious. So far I'm quite pleased with it.

Yes I know what you mean - I reckon the badge reduces its value by about 20k.
Its a nice car but perhaps not one for the image conscious - as you say it has the wrong badge.
I looked at lots of sedans but for the same spec I was buying an 8 yr old 7 series or A8 which can cost a lot to repair out here ! Nissans are pretty cheap to repair and parts are easy to get hold of, plus they gave me a 5 yr warranty with it. The wife has had a X-trail and now has a Pathfinder and they have been superb (reliability and aftercare from Nissan).
