2023 Nissan Maxima Platinum: Start Up, Walkaround, POV, Test Drive and Review

[@mitchlu]

Have my SV since I bought it new in 2016. I now have 133,000 miles. Still pulls like a train. Not one issue with this car. Not one. I change the CVT fluid every 60,000 miles. I'm a Mechanical Engineer, so nothing gets overlooked (I also change that "long-life" antifreeze every 2-3 yrs; not 5).

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Nice to hear! Solid choice!

[@supertrooper73]

I have a '21 so thanks for the maintenance tips.

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

This will be my first sedan to own in 2023.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Oh nice! Great first car!

[@maceharris7656]

Should I purchase the Maxima or the 10th Gen Honda Accord ?hmmm🤔

[@Sikh1.5Accord]

@@maceharris7656 10th gen accord I’ve purchased 21 Honda accord sport se best decision I’ve ever made no doubt best car for the money

[@kjk4795]

​@@maceharris7656 if you want REAL power, go for maxima, if not, then accord.

[@supertrooper73]

You'll love it!

[@robertnelson4071]

I have owned 4 maximas and have to say thay have been the most reliable, fun and easy to work on vehicles I have owned. Quality has always been a strength of Nissan. My first was a 1990, after that We owned a 2000. We purchased a 08 Honda Accord and only had it 10 months before realizing what a mistake we had made. We had nothing but problems with that car. From the brakes to the motor with cheap fit and finish we had to get rid of it. That lead me back to the next maxima which was a 09 SV. That was my all time favorite year. We just traded that in on a 2019 platinum with all the bells and whistles. The motor has stade the same which has Been rated one of the ten best motors of all time. Oil injected, chain driven timing belt which your sure to get 200000 miles out of it with regular maintenances. You really can't go wrong with this car. I'll be sad to see it go.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Oh cool! Seems like a pretty solid car overall!

[@kbw.rvwhntr]

My most memorable Maxima was the 87-88 models and I had a 95 back in the day. This car was in a class by itself for many years until sales started to plummet and I dont think switching to the CVT helped much. What's sad is that I hear that after 42 years that this is the last year for this car. We'll have to wait and see what Nissan has up their sleeve.

[@ramoncarter6585]

Still a beautiful car it's worth the money better get one now before all be gone.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah be interesting to see if a new version comes or not

[@TZone671]

Thanks for reviewing Nissan vehicles, despite the criticism (although needed). I got a '16 Altima 3.5 SR. Miles 42,000 maintained well. However, been looking to upgrade either to the VCT Altima, Max or the Z. After exploring finance, of course. Lol.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Oh very cool! Z is definitely the most fun way to go! Hopefully mine comes in the next month or so. But the new Altima Turbo is a cool option for a normal car lol

[@loitersquadX]

Dude the new vc tube is amazing I just wish they would go with a 300hp option. For that reason I might buy the vw arteon , or this maxima I don't care for speed much I want it to be nice and have power

[@mehrdadt.90212]

although I am a fan of Nissan with prior ownership of both Altima and Maxima, and currently own a 2022 Nissan Rogue Platinium, I must say that for current Maxima need to have major surgery by removing and redesigning the entire interior with display remodeled if not this vehicle is not worth more than $3,6000 for the top trim.

[@che2335]

I was gonna get an A5 sportback then read about the timing chain tensioner lawsuit and probs w the 2.0t then i looked at Infinity Q50 and read about rear diff bushing crossmember probs so Im back to Maxima shopping and get a 100k powertrain warranty. I love my 17 Altima SV

[@issavibez394]

Q50 Is way better ND anything German is terribly unreliable they love finding issues especially audi and bmw

[@Thebuscommunityleader]

Still my 1st car by Nissan I got to hurry & buy.

[@oni9966]

I got the 2020 SV in Gun Metal Paint ( Grey ) with Chrome delete kit + Stillen Exhaust the Car is Great !

[@razvandobos9759]

The only Nissan sedan I see myself in. Same exact design as the 2016 model inside and out but still holds well today. Just got discontinued too.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah not a bad option! However I think it's pretty over priced. Nearly $50k for this? You can buy a very nice Audi or BMW thats way more premium and fun to drive for this money. Especially a god CPO. And you won't get hit with depreciating

[@JuwanTV]

I wish these came with the auto brake hold, auto stop/start functions

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah that'd be nice!

[@BrokenAdam770]

A Nissan Maxima Platinum FWD V6 looks so glorious! I would prefer the SR trim level with alcantara goodness, orange stitching and name the Maxima SR as Izzy Edwards.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah that's cool spec with Alcantara. Not a bad car

[@PHope-sl4nj]

Very Nice Vehicle.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

It sure is! Thanks :)

[@juniormint1369]

I swear I have a 21 Sentra and I’m jealous I don’t have this model lol

[@alyssamap7519]

I noticed the gas door doesn't lock when the doors lock on the 2023. 2019 has the feature but It makes no sense as to why they removed that feature when the generation hasn't changed.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Oh weird. Yo sure there isnt a lock in it? Most cars seem to have one

[@stephenthompson439]

My 2020 SR doesn't lock..

[@alyssamap7519]

They must've removed the feature after the 2019 @@stephenthompson439

[@Therealpeter10]

Is this car reliable? Cvt ???

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Should be pretty decent overall

[@AntLive29]

This a good buy if you can get a $0 downlease for $300 per month with 12k yearly

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah that's be cheap to get into for sure

[@c05l24]

Who is cross-shopping this with a "used BMW"... This, in its category of "New" sedans on offer is quite competitive.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Probably a lot. $46k is a lot of money for a car. You can get a nice used Audi or BMW for this money

[@c05l24]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed Sorry not buying it. People looking at this are looking for reliability and low maintenance cost mixed with some fun. They are cross-shopping this with Acura TL with a tech package or A-spec, Loaded Accord, former Avalon buyers who are now forced into a Lexus ES etc. These people have homes and families most likely and are not interested in the M340i nearing the end of its warranty and whose regular service costs are similar to braces for their little Bros for speeders.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@@c05l24 yeah I can see that. But a buyer who’s willing to spend $50k OTD, for sure has looked at used luxury cars. Just look at the comments. Many people have made that same comment that you can buy a used luxury car at this price. If I was buying a sedan for this price. I’d go S4. Honestly just as reliable and way nice interior and performance. And better resale. You’ll spend more money buying this

[@c05l24]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed Okay, I give up. Acura, Honda, Toyota, Lexus, Chrysler, Infinity, Nissan and everyone else selling $40k + sedans should pack it in because used sport sedans from Germany just make more sense :) We can agree to disagree.

[@rolandajames8197]

The CVT killed it for me. I’d love to buy one, but nope..

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah I wish they got rid of them. Not a bad CVT for what it is. But I'll stick with gears

[@stevornrichards1380]

Maxima doesn't have an AWD option

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Really? I feel like it needs it for the price tag

[@crow_2k11beatsbydre8]

Sad to see the NISSAN Maxima discontinued after the 2023 model year, hopefully NISSAN brings back the Maxima as an EV in future years ahead........

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I'm sure they will make something to replace it

[@wesleybrake7611]

No bose system

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

And?

[@supertrooper73]

Platinum Maximas do have Bose audio.

[@KhrissyDaDon]

It’s such a shame that long standing names like Maxima, Passat, Impala… have met/is going to meet there demise!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah crazy to see these going away. I think small crossovers are taking over. Much more practical then a sedan

[@ssa.alhasan7977]

What a wonderful car apart of its awful cvt gearbox

[@freequenciesbynell7647]

no real difference than my 2017 Max

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah they didn't really do much with this the last few years

[@jimmydeneus7109]

[@9965621092kjm]

I love it it’s simple

[@Laptops1781]

Sadly alot of new cars have outdated interiors. Just recently shopped a few honda suv's and there's alot of cost cutting happening. Regarding the maxima though, it's still the best driving sedan nissan has

[@drewski1441]

The Maxima became bloated that along with the CVT destroyed what the car was really meant to be. To hear Nissan use the phrase 4 door sports car was laughable. 😒 Nothing sporty about a CVT transmission.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I’ve never heard them call the maxima a sporty sedan, that’s not its purpose by any means.
