Well, I have to say that the interior finish is what I expect from an eastern import after coming out of a euro car. Just not quite up to par. However the power is very nice, I have no control issues, and amazingly enough the CVT auto stick still allows a nice 6.75 second 0-60 time (Data from a friends Garmin smiley

I currently own a 2004 Nissan Maxima SE (Gold). Prior to this vehichle, I owned the 2001 Nissan Maxima (grey). When I test-drove my current vehichle, I immediately fell in love with it! I also have the skyview model. It is awesome!! I get so much attention when I am crusing along (smile). I feel sexy and alive. Keep up the good work...

I am in my 2nd month of a 24 month lease on a 2007 Nissan Maxima and can’t wait for my lease to end. The steering is horrendous!!! The car pulls either which way and refuses to stay on the road. It’s like walking a disobedient dog. If I look off the road for a second, the car flies off the road. I drive the car with 2 hands focusing on the road like an 80 year old lady. Both wrists absolutely kill me after I take a trip of more than 20-25 miles. Anyone who drives the car (except the dealership) concurs. The dealer tells me there is nothing wrong with my vehicle. If the dealer is correct, shame on Nissan for putting out such an utterly disgraceful vehicle.

Power in the Maxima wasn’t decreased. SAE horsepower and torque measurement methods were changed, thus prompting a decrease in power, albeit the engine has remained completely unchanged (energy generation-wise). Your Maxima’s engine is essentially no different from the new Maxima’s engine.

The 02-06 Altima’s I-4 was producing MUCH lower figures on dynos than it was rated by Nissan for. For 07, the figures remain the same, but they’re MUCH more accurate if you put the car on a dyno. Intake and exhaust modification are the two main things that caused a change.

Sometimes, changing numbers (or a lack thereof) can be slightly misleading.

I must say that after test driving an ’07 Maxima I put my foot in my mouth. I was so anti CVT when I heard about it. After I gave the ’07 Maxima a chance I instantly fell in love with the car. It is amazingly comfortable and very quick. Granted that it may not be as quick as a 5-speed auto Maxima but it comes extremely close. The CVT also toned down the torque steer substantially in the Maxima. I currently own a 2003 Infiniti I35 Sport, and while the car attracts a lot of looks I need a car that will entice me to take long trips. My back is just moaning in pain from driving the I35 for almost 8 months now. I am itching to get into one of these ’07 Maximas. This just goes to show you that Nissan has some of the world’s best engineers. I thought they took a shot in the dark at putting the CVT in the Maxima but they knew EXACTLY what they were doing because I am absolutely going crazy waiting until I can buy one for myself.

This car is a great buy for anyone..go check it out!

Just bought a new 2007 Maxima SL. The CVT transmission is awesome. It makes the car feel like one of the high torque luxury sedans like a Jaguar XJ or BMW 7 series. It’s very fast and extremely smooth. We also have a 2002 Maxima SE with 110,000 miles that we are keeping. Big differences between the two. The 2007 is larger, high detail on interior appointments. We absolutely love it.

I own a 2004 Maxima. It has a 265 hp V6 which performs very well. I can’t understand why Nissan would choose to decrease the horsepower on the new Maxima. I do however, like the new front fascia.

I think the idea of the new CVT transmission in the SE model will kill sales. People are gonna want the shift shock of a manual transmission or the smooth shifting 5 speed automatic. The CVT might be good as an option but not standard, The six speed manual in the Maxima can offer the performance and raw power of the 350 Z, but with 4 doors not two. I think Maxima sales will drop, when i get my next one it won’t be brand new due to the fact i dont like the idea of the CVT as the transmission in the new maxima. My Maxima will be either a 2004-2006
