2008 Nissan Maxima User Reviews

Pros

Smooth ride, solid acceleration, lots of extras

Cons

Door guard mounted to low

I've had this car about three weeks and absolutely love it. Nissan has really put a ton of extras into this car: Heated seats, keyless entry (which really comes in handy more often than you might think) automatic rear view mirror dimmer, automatic radio volume adjustment, electric seats with numerous adjustments for the best in comfort, fog lights, turning lights, side air bags (not counting the wife) head air bags, and tire pressure warning lights.

Now about the car itself: It rides as smooth as a much more expensive model and accelerates like a big block V8. The combination of a peppy 3.5 liter V6 with Nissan's CVT (constant variable transmission) add up to one quick little car. For a car that gets 19-25 mpg, this one will really surprise you. And its nice to be able to accelerate without the jaring effect of the transmission shift every few seconds.

If you buy one get the SE model. It has a better suspension and the Goodyear Eagle GT tires. You can add the sensory option if you want leather sets and a Boze sound system (which is awsome) . But, look around. I found a big variation in price by the dealers in the Dallas area.
