2004 Nissan Maxima 3.5 SE - POV Test Drive | 0-60

[@jish8681]

i love how the most amount of cutting up in traffic and street racing ive seen in any of your videos is for a 20 year old nissan maxima, it is just perfect 😂

[@DMCarReviews]

Thank you for watching! It was a fun ride.

[@occckid123]

​@@DMCarReviewsI miss my maxima of this generation with the cvt. Super responsive...

[@MrKillRoy14]

@@occckid123 Hell I still drive one every day and I love it. Mines Maroon though not silver and I added the OEM spoiler on it. Little thing gives me hell with the ageing parts and me being broke but it's a good little car and fun to drive!

[@RC-117]

@@occckid123 before I got my Lexus. I had a 2010 Maxima with a 290 hp CVT V6 VQ engine. I was used to the CVT transmission because I owned a Subaru before and it had a CVT but for me personally a CVT in the six cylinder was much more fun and I loved my Maxima, but I got into a lot of trouble with it because it is a sports car. I loved it for the two years I had it. It is a handsome beefy looking car.

[@vietnamrebel]

My friends' mom had one of these when we were in high school, and they often got to drive it. Thing was a rocket back in its day. Always surprised people how quickly it would get up and go when the 3 of us were out in it. And that goofy moonroof strip was definitely unique.

[@DMCarReviews]

It's a great car!

[@jonlosito2004]

I applaud you for reviewing normal "boring" cars!! Would rather watch these videos instead of high end expensive cars.

[@DMCarReviews]

Thank you for watching! This was definitely not a boring car at all😂 It was really fun to drive.

Back when Nissan had character. Love the amber gauge cluster which was also used in the Infiniti line-up around this same year.

[@DMCarReviews]

Yes, those were my favorite Nissans.

[@RenNakamura20]

This is my favorite gen maxima and probably the last most reliable, the newer ones were also very nice but they were prone to having a lot of cvt problems. My friend had a 2010 maxima and the cvt would slip sometimes, that was the only issue with a lot of nissan cvt vehicles. I had an 04 nissan maxima sl, so it had the heated leather, heated steering wheel with auto tilt...gosh that was a really nice car to drive. I miss it a lot, one of my personal favorite luxury sport sedans!

[@DMCarReviews]

They were great!

[@QUINTENSMUSICCHANNEL]

Bro this thing moves very well great car definetly a sleeper and also fantastic sound

[@DMCarReviews]

It's an awesome car!

[@automotivetv9861]

Oh gosh this car is so underrated, i had it for a year, its a highway freak! Delete the spare wheel, passenger seat and add lighter wheels and you've got a 0-60 in 5.99 second and under car Don't forget all this on regular gas!

[@DMCarReviews]

5.99 may be a stretch, but low-mid 6s for sure :)

[@DMCarReviews]

Facts! I agree.

[@chrisiztheman1618]

My first car was an 04 with a manual…. Orange paint orange leather, 4 seater(rear centre console). Had it from 2013-2016…. Miss it.

[@DMCarReviews]

Beautiful combination!

[@issavibez394]

At least is not with the junkkk cvt

[@EricFortuneJr.]

They offered these things with a manual too, same with the 02-06 Altima. You could get the manual with both 2.5 and 3.5 Altimas. I think the Maxima SE was the only trim that offered the manual and I’ve seen some insanely modded Maximas of this generation with Turbos, intake and full exhaust upgrade gutted interiors. Nissan offered these in a beautiful dark orange.

[@DMCarReviews]

Correct! That orange exterior with the orange interior was my favorite combination.

[@unofish]

been waiting for this thank you

[@DMCarReviews]

Thank you for watching!

[@AyoBrownKid]

My cousin had one of these in 2006. These things got up and outta the way. I drove it once and I couldn’t believe how much tip in power it had. Who knew Nissan would put a nasty CVT in all of its vehicles. This things was definitely a sleeper back in the day.

[@DMCarReviews]

My CVT Maxima moved super good!

[@DaytonaBlu]

I had the 2005 Maxima SE with the regular sunroof I had bought it for 5k but ended up putting 7k intoo it too bring it back too my reliability standards... From the transmission slipping and kicking and the catalytic converters all 3 and Timing Chanin Guides and 5 alternators I knew this car inside and out and yeah the car knows its being loved and it delivers...
