NISSAN MAXIMA review in detail:
This car is the result of the partnership between the French Renault and Japanese Nissan companies and is a six-cylinder family car with attractive styling.The bold, almost futuristic lines of the Maxima's exterior are carried through to the cabin that features a full-width sweep of the dashboard which adds elegance to the modern shape.
Interior space is good because this is not only a large car, it also comes with a tall roof as well as a long cabin, the latter courtesy of Maxima using front-wheel drive.
The front seats aren't really sporting in their nature but are large and well padded, and many like it that way, although a little more side support would have been appreciated on winding roads.
Legroom in the back is impressive, however the Maxima isn't quite as wide as the Commodore/Falcon, so try if for size if you want to carry large adults in the rear.
The large boot has a ski port to let it cater for extra-long loads, and is well-shaped and reasonably easy to load.
The big Nissan feels positively sporty in the engine department, which comes as no surprise when you realise the powerplant is a modified version of the 3.5-litre V6 used in the 350Z sports model.
The Maxima has that slightly firm feel that may not appeal to all, but overall ride comfort is good.
