Here here to that, U.S. built Maximas (2004-2008) are terrible in materials, craftsmanship, fit and finish, and overall reliability. If anyone has one or sees one, look at the panel gaps around the trunk, the left front fender gap with the front left door is large enough to see the bolts holding the door in place and in addition the top of the left fender sticks out ...

... and build in US. Interesting observation. My 1995 Maxima was the last generation (4th) to be built in Japan. And, according to my Nissan service manager, was the best Maxima ever in terms of solid reliability and durability. Brake pads lasted 90k+ miles, rotors were not replaced until 150k, original clutch, driving chain never needs replacement, etc. And, ... Read More...

I bought a brand new 2000 Maxima when they first hit and didn't have any problems out of the ordinary so I am not too worried about the new model being a problem The 2000's came out in US after they have been around for two years in Japan as Nissan Cifiaro (Spelling??). Hence it was not a TRUE first model year. I too bought first model year 2000 I30 and have been happy...but ... Read More...

Nissan Maxima Lease Questions

Re: September Lease Rates [ucjjg]

Written by: Car_man on Sep 29, 2008 06:10 PM

Hi ucjjg. Kcbny is right. NMAC's current buy rate lease money factor for the 2008 Maxima is a terrible .00280 right now. That's the bad news. The good news is that this lack of lease support means that the $4,000 customer cash that Nissan is currently providing on the '08 Maxima can be used on leases. Still, if I was personally interested in leasing something right ... Read More...

Nissan Maxima Bluetooth

Bluetooth

Written by: jenjtd on Sep 28, 2008 11:26 AM

I have a Blackberry with AT&T service and my husband has a Motorola Q with Verizon service. We both have excellent connectivity in our 2008 Maxima. Our one problem is that the sound only comes out of the passenger side speakers. When the car is moving, it is very hard to hear the person you are talking to. When we inquired about this at the dealer, they said that this ... Read More...

2009 Nissan Maxima

Re: What's wrong with the CVT? [cyberpunk]

Written by: spiritinthesky on Sep 12, 2008 06:18 AM

The Maxima's loss of sales was symptomatic of its overall transition into a very boring car. Sure - those that would only buy a car with a manual tranmission were part of the many that jumped ship. But no matter how you look at it - that segment of the Maxima's customer base had little impact on Nissan's overall decline in sales. You can't possibly blame the loss of ... Read More...

Written by: habitat1 on Sep 11, 2008 08:06 PM

I think I can sum up your beef against the '09 Maxima as being that a) there is no manual tranmission available and b) Nissan's marketing spin refers to it as a 4DSC. That's pretty close. I also have issues with the Maxima's weight bloating 20% from 1995 to 2009, but the dichotomy of calling it a 4DSC and not offering a manual transimission is my bigger "beef". any lost ...

Dilema

Written by: out4cat on Sep 13, 2008 11:48 AM

Ok so everyone or almost everyone has some criticism of Nissan for the design of the outgoing 2008 Maxima body style, and I am sure we remember the controversial comments made about the front grill when the car hit the streets in 2004 (looked like bugs bunny's front teeth in the middle of the grille, also reminiscent of prior Oldsmobile models of the 80s). Now the ... Read More...
