OK, Who Bought One? What do you think?

Just got mine last week--2009 SV, pearl white w/ premium package--and I LOVE IT!!!! MAn, what a difference from the 2004 SE I had! Out of 8 very nice cars, the 09 Maxima is by far the nicest I've own!

Do your research because you can pick one up cheap if you know how to haggle. Got mine, MSRP 37800, cash price 32000 with a 120k 8yr Nissan B-2-B warranty, plus maintenance, seals, gasket coverage. Opted for the 0% interest too. Cant beat it!

I wanted to writeup a followup to my original review in January 09 when I first bought my 2009 Maxima SV with SportTech, White exterior, Black Interior.

I had a opportunity to drive my new ride quite a bit so far this year. Thanks to multiple road trips, I have put on 25,000 miles since January 2009 (majority highway miles), and I have enjoyed every minute of it.

With the exception of a weird thumping noise that recentlly appeared from the front drivers side wheel (likley a wheel hub bearing problem), that is being taken care of under warranty, I have had no reliability issues or complaints, whatsoever.

I love this car as if I just took delivery of it. Every time I go to the store and park in the parking lot (far far from other cars ) I still find my self looking back over my shoulder at it, admiring and staring. I think this is one of the hottest looking cars on the road today, I am constantly complemented on it.

I cant say enough about the performance on the road, with its sheer seemingly endless power, explosive acceleration from any starting speed, precise handling and very fun manual transmission mode, I routinely embarrass BMW's, Mercedes, & the likes on the express way as they try to keep up or prevent me from passing them, to no avail.

The fantastic audio system gets quite a work out, I have several hundred songs on the hard drive, and the Navigation System is awesome and easy to use. I particularly like that I can speak my destination to the system while I am driving down the road.

In short, it is by far the best car I have owned in the last 10 years and I highly recommend it.

Thanks for reading.

Absolutely.

It is sort of normal to just casually peruse this board until a problem crops up, then post the problem here. That makes it seem like we are all having lots of problems with this 7th gen. But many of us have had nothing but thousands of very pleasurable miles, and are totally enjoying this beautiful 7th gen Maxima.

Thanks for the good words, g_jammer.

I bought my Maxima, SV with Sport & Tech packages and think it's the best car I have ever owned.

I have owned many Nissan's over the years, I used to work as a Consultant at NNA in Gardena here in L.A. I have used or owned the following working for Nissan and since over the last 7 years:-

3 Nissan Altima's (2002 - 2005)
2 Nissan Murano's (both 2005)
2 Nissan Maxima's (2005 & my current 2009)
1 Infiniti G20 (2003)
1 Infiniti G35 Coupe (I owned that from June 2005 until June 2009)

The 2009 is by far the finest Nissan I have ever driven. I absolutely hated my G35 Coupe and couldn't wait to get out of it. The Maxima's a superior car in so many ways.
