2006 Nissan Maxima Review:
I have driven Nissan's for 15 years....Pathfinders, 300ZX, Altima, and now a new Maxima..what a dream. Handles like a sportscar, but appointed and comfortable like a luxury sedan. While I miss a manual shift, the tip-tonic is fun, although it is easier just to use the drive selection in auto. Decent mileage, large tank and regular gas make it very affordable to run for this type of car.

2006 Nissan Maxima Review:
I had a Toyota and wanted something little more sytlish and fun. I purchased the 2006 Nissan SL Maxima. It's not only a family car, but it's also sexy and fun without the kids.

2006 Nissan Maxima Review:
My husband and I are preparing for our first child so we needed a family car. I still have my Mitz 3000GT but you can't drive kids around it that. Anyway, my husband is 6'5 and he loves the room the car offers. He does not feel boxed in at all. I like that fact that it handles like my 3000 but gives me more room. We were debating between this car and the Chrylser 300 but for the price and features the Maxima came out on top. Great car!!!!!!

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Nissan Maxima?
Nice list of features for the money- Bluetooth,heated seats and wheel, memory settings,sound system, and LOVE THE POWER! Sterring wheel controls are nice. Great, fun car to drive.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Nissan Maxima?
Turning radius is too wide. Torque steer, although not much an issue for me. Omit tape decks and add MP3.Garage controls should be lighted. Seats should be softer on the bottom area; they are too firm and can cause some discomfort over time. Improve color selection & change color of dash display.

2006 Nissan Maxima Review:
This is the 4th Maxima I have owned. It is by far the the most sporty. I compared all the other cars (TL, Accord, Camry, Avalon, G35) and came back to the Maxima. It has the best engine and features for the money. My last Maxima, I had to replace the oxygen sensor and alternator although it had low miles. Even with a couple of repairs factored in I come out ahead of the other cars. I've had no problems with my 2006 SL and really like all the features including Bluetooth, which comes with the driver preferred pkg. This car drives excellent with great power and a nice little growl from the engine! Steve Hipshin with Tom Peacock in Houston is the best salesperson- great price and service.

2006 Nissan Maxima Review:
My new maxima is wonderful! The minute I test drove a Maxima I knew I had to have it. Its quiet engine and smooth ride is just the beginning. The power is incredible. I've loved the look of these cars ever since they came out in 2004. Then I test drove it and It was love! Thanks

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Nissan Maxima?

Dash color options(like the new mustang). Built in Radar detector (the car loves to drive fast).

2006 Nissan Maxima Review:
I traded my 2004 Chrysler 300 touring on a new Maxima. Although the 300 drove nice. It had bad blind spots and every time I drove it I felt like an old man(not to mention 3 repair trips already). On one nice Saturday I stopped at the Nissan dealer and drove The Maxima. I didn't want to give the keys back. One week later I had a new car in my driveway and am enjoying it. I bought the 300 because it was the "in" car. That was a big expensive mistake. The Maxima is the true 4 door sports car.

2006 Nissan Maxima Review:
We have driven Chevrolets for 50 yrs. and went for a test drive in the Altima and my wife liked it, just as we were leaving we spotted the Maxima and drove it away. We have 11,000 miles on it now and are averaging 27mpg. Nissan has been great with their service..

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Nissan Maxima?
The style, the engine zip, the roominess.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Nissan Maxima?
Better controls for the heating and cooling. A better placement for the odometer; it can be difficult to read. Radio controls on the steering wheel should not have rocker switches unless they are recessed. I turn a corner and end up changing the station.

2006 Nissan Maxima Review:
The car is attractive and roomy. The engine is very peppy. But there are some things that disappoint me. The Owner's Manual is not well written and is confusing in places. The controls for heating and cooling are a total mystery. Things happen that I would not want to happen such as the AC turing on ecven though it's 30 degrees outside. The big possible problem is that sometimes on braking the car swerves. I feel the steering wheel twist in my hands. The service advisor at the dealership says this is due to the 18" wheels and is uncorrectable. I cannot accept that proposition.
