Summary
Nissan's totally new Maxima is a great car for enthusiasts who need a few concessions toward practicality and budget. It's a lot of fun to drive, yet offers roomy, comfortable accommodations for four and a big trunk. This is a car for people who want performance and functionality with reasonable monthly payments.More powerful, more agile, more practical, this fifth-generation Maxima has a lot to offer. It should be on every mid-size shopping list.
