You're comparing apples to oranges when you mention the Ford Fusion. The Maxima competes with the Ford Taurus. The Altima competes with the Fusion.
It's a real sleeper of a vehicle. The older models do wallow a bit into corners and that takes a bit of getting used to if you have a AWD to compare it with. They are very fast in a straight line and a lot of car for the money. A lot of luxury kind of appointments inside, and quite a few of the gadgets. If you drive it gently you'll even get decent fuel economy!
I have a 2012 Nissan Altima S with 140K miles on it now and i definitely want to get the 2018 Maxima SV soon. Saving up for a big down payment first though
The great thing about the Maxima is your get the same engine/trans in all trim levels. So the base $32k Maxima S really has no competition as far as family sports sedan at that price. That's where the Maxima is the most attractive... For the same price as a mid to upper level Accord, Camry, Fusion, or Mazda 6 you can score a Maxima S that is on another performance and quality level than those cars. The Charger SXT is on par with performance, but quality and looks wise? I'd take a Maxima all day long.
warlok9 i wouldnt say on another performance level. a v6 camry does the same exact 0-60 time .
I’m 13 but I’ve been wanting this car since my dad bought the limited edition version.... MY DREAM CAR
And I have it but... wanna drive it
Have you purchased your dream car yet?
The 2012 sport package and limited edition sounds good as hell when accelerating on the road.... (sounds like GT-R) and even if you step on a gas a tiny bit,.... loud!
if this car was AWD it would be deadly
It’s deadly still, just bad on a straight start, on a roll I’ve seen them really smack cars around like the accord and Camry v6
Dope car, Nissan outperforms and it shows. I drive a Q50 3.7 (obviously different league of car) and I've raced a few Maxima Platinums with some mods and they're pretty quick.
Lol same size engine of yours..
@@larryz3985 isnt the q50 also more heavy💀💀💀 like bro really thinks hes in a whole other league than a maxima n its hilarious. The q50 is like 10000 or more higher than a maxima msrp for a slight performance boost💀💀
My mom has the same 2017 Nissan maxima well not the same she has charkol interior and she's loves it
I have driven a 93 maxima,a 98 maxima, a2000 maxima,a 2002 maxima, and a 2004 maxima. Yes I love the maxima,and this 8 generation is on my list to own. Gone but not forgotten.
8th gen is incredible, idk how they packed so much into this car with a decent price tag(at least for a ‘17-‘20). i love how unassuming it is until i pull off on 5.0s and beamers lol
"Doesn't have a real transmission"!? = "Doesn't have an old-school transmission".
So at the end you tall about which competitor you'd personally choose and finish with justification of how the Maxima is better than that exact choice? I love that I chose the better of them and a great one in comparison to many others even out the price bracket. Maxima looks of another dimensional when comparing it to what type of vehicle it is and what it actually has. Yes it has a CVT but with that type of transmission it still out handles the "vehicle class" it's in. That torque steer you displayed is easily handled by turning off the VDC (traction control). Anyways, great video and amazing car. In total; you will not be disappointed nor unsatisfied during your driving experience in an 8th Gen Maixma
I will not own another Ford
Good for you going from bad to worst owning a nissan is below me peasants.
I own this Maxima and it out performs cars that are $45k+
Hahaha! It's good that I finished the whole video! I'm impressed at the beginning, I didn't expect the last part.😂
Today prices definitely quickest sedan under 30k. I haven't lost to many races !
Nice review. I am split between this and the fusion as well. Going test driving tommorow.
greyfox999 if you're considering the Fusion Sport then I'd say go with that. Can't beat the 2.7 Twin Turbo V6 and AWD. Although the Maxima is A LOT of fun too!
Well done sir ! I have to agree with your review! Great job! D
He didn’t even speak of the sports mode in the car😂😂😂 he could do a little better with his review to be honest
Or trying to get to 0-60 faster on manual mode
0-60 at 5:48
3.6
6 sec. not impressive at all.
Official times are 5.6 to 5.7 and 14.2 in the quarter. Very good performance for an NA V-6 full size sedan.
Koit Kranig it’s a fwd car...
The front wheel drive helps with better handling. Not to many people know that.
should have a performance awd system
I have a maxima like that and I love it
Any issues with yours, just bought a 2017 sl with 8k and im not sure if i should spend the 1300 for 4 year extended warranty
Well what was the 0 to 60? Dam it..!
Sport mode? Why not review it?
Nissan needed to put the Infinity 3.7L in it for 2017 and boost power to 330hp 277TQ
smoked 3.7 infinity q70 with 3.5 2016 mx :) no need for 3.7. They made it very light and hance you are a bit faster.
Nicolas Rybakov but imagine lighter and faster
or the 3.0t
Got me a 2017 maxima sv recently. Feel comfortable racing some of these base package sports cars. Already beat a camaro and a mustang stock. Gonna try my luck with my neighbours 2017 charger sxt and my brother in laws 2016 cadillac cts. Well see how it goes.
Sant G how’d the SXT go
@@J-Jay29 beat both of em g. But i just seen I put my maxima as the sv when its actually the sl.
I beat a stock Mustang GT with my 2017 Maxima too
@@rdb0819 what year the gt?
@@b58forever 2017 Mustang GT V6
I just finished 3 days with a 2017 sv with 7 spd auto ( tranny was a little goofy and a wee bit annoying, but overall it worked well when flogging it) , I'm surprised how good this thing drives!, I have never been a front drive fan, until this thing, I flogged it for 120 miles on I-84 through Columbia gorge cruising 85- 100 , and pushing it to 130 often, I didn't even think about it being front wheel drive, no torque steer, anywhere, and it sticks ,the handling blew me away, it is remarkably poised in high speed corners, brakes were great, although I did not press them for extended periods of hard braking I love the ride , ,steering wheel initially is a bit hyper sensitive for me, , probably i'm not used to the fairly quick ratio- when cruising, a very small input would or seemed to me, give an exaggerated response , but drive it in deep & I doubt many people would be disappointed, It sure as hell handles a whole lot better than my 05 mustang gt . I had a hard time getting it to smoothly leave from a stop, Engine doesn't seem to make much torque below 2500, smooth starts were annoyingly difficult for me to master, I'd liken it something like a lean condition. But Stand on it ,and drive it hard and it's 3700 lbs of high quality hard diving FUN! Seat was very comfortable for my aging(64) fat ass , I would go as far as to put them in the comfort range of 325 beemer seats , maybe even better. Fun car!, would I buy one, not sure
lol it’s a cvt not a 7 speed. But i bet if you had known it was a cvt you’d have liked it less because placebo
just picked up a ‘17 for about 16k with 90k miles about a month ago and this is spot on! the handling and power at 50+ mph is where this car shines. it’s both the beauty and the beast
Great video
Nissan Maxima=300 horsepower 261 pound feet of torque. Ford Fusion Sport=325 horsepower 380 pound feet of torque. Who do you think would win in a race???
May wanna do some research, that fusion is a damn dud!!! Maxima will eat that heavy all wheel drive shit!!! It also need 93 octane for those numbers and it's still slower 0 to 60!!!! Google and you tube will guide you!!!!!! Plus there over boosting a tiny engine that's not gonna hold up period!!!!
WesleY Miller maximas still need 93+
marcus simmons yhat fast nissan shift though
They do not “need” 93 octane. I ran 93 in mine for 6 months, switched to 87, no difference in performance and avg MPGs is 31.7 over last 1,500 miles.
Mr. C but it helps
I got chills $$$$$$
my dad has the same car and the start up sounds better. Maybe its a higher level? or its just the camera? idk.
so now what is the fastest gas car under 40k (summer 2021)? (non electric bc that would just be a standard model 3 lol)
A Toyota Camry 😭😭😂
How about the Toyota Camry V6 2018?
MackyG haven't driven it yet but it looks sweet. They love to advertise the red seats you can get in it!
Grandma's car.
I just raced a maxima like this with my new 2018 v6 XSE camry and I was pulling pretty easily. I'm assuming it was a v6 maxima but idk if they even had a 4 cylinder option
Jesse Brown the Maxima might not have been racing you. It’s faster
@@jessebrown5315 The Camry has no power! They gave me one at Enterprise and I turned that thing right back around and got a Maxima!
This fellow has literally no idea what he's saying about the car's transmission isn't factual.
It actually sounds the same as all the cars with the DE engine
Thank you
The Maxima would be gold if it were awd and had an available manual...
But what about that CVT transmission though??????
it sucks, test drove the 2018 maxima and 2018 Q50 3.0tt...obviously went with the Q50, the cvt is sluggish and slow compare to the newer automatics that are out there.
What about her emails?
In sport mode the Maxima is anything but sluggish or slow. The CVT is hardly noticeable in sport mode. Normal is a bit sluggish but good for the freeway and keeping gas mileage high.
@Brent Burroughs what do you mean?
I have a 2009 maxima that has pretty much the same engine sound and can go 0-60 to.
Not Worth getting a more recent only increases 10 more horsepower
all cars can go zero to 60
Under 40k you can get a scat pack charger...
And it still does not feel more luxurious than a maxima. The maxima has pano roof, Bose speaks quilted leather seats and it looks more handsome. Yes the scar pack is a little faster but who cares, with the maxima speed alone you will be beating up most cars like the accord, Camry v6 etc. if you really wanted a quick car that’s fast as balls you wouldn’t even bat the maxima way or the scat pack way. You would be looking for M packs, sport q50s and 392s. On the tier the maxima is in it beats damn near all of their competitors, only cars that comes close now is the new accord 2.0 stock chargers and stock q50s oh and Cameros.
Dodge is junk! No we're near as luxury! And scat pack would barely beat this car. Because the chargers are bricks well over 4,000lbs!
The CVT??!!!?!?!?!?!??
I just race one Ford Fusion my Nissan Maxima killed it. End of story now I own a Ford Fusion
I agree about fusion ride
Yeah with the Altima 2.5 I just walked down a fusion yesterday which had a big time head start
fast and furious
CVT!!!!!!!!!!!
Some people said that ford charges too much when it comes to repairs. Any opinion?
Alfonso Derequito I couldn't really say...I have 68k on my Fusion Titanium and no issues. I think turbos will always be more expensive to maintain. That's a definite advantage with this Maxima and having a naturally aspirated engine.
Yesss i agree this maxima is powerful engine..i beat the 2016 charger and challenger v6 in straightline 3times..tihis maxima awesome in the corner and on the track..for sure this car would destroy the 5.7 hemi charger..AND ford fussion is boring car..
I don't know how it would do against the 5.7 Hemi. That's a big difference in horsepower and torque. I think the Maxima is better looking overall than the Fusion. I just wish the Maxima had AWD as an option and a regular trans instead of that CVT. But the Maxima is still an awesome car...so fun to drive.
The Test Drive charger is freakin heavy car they need biger engine because its a large car thats the reason why need torque and horse power..so its power to weight ratio..still fair fight..with the cvt..ive prefer cvt than automatic because theres no hunting gears all the time..like i said i beat the 2016 charger v6 and challenger v6 with 8speed automatic..my maxima destroy them in freeway..
This car is beautiful but it definitely won’t destroy a 5.7 Hemi
Yakabitch B I like the rear end on the 8th Gen. I beat the 8th in my 2010 Maxima SV. Catback exhaust
hahahahahaha, yeah with CVT, go try and later put accurate comment before getting an orgasm about it.
VQ37 and VR30DDTT engine sound way better than the VQ35
You can get them to sound close with an exhaust and almost identical with headers.
Just drove this last night and it was amazing, buutttt I still love the Taurus sho better I think it’s faster
Maybe but way uglier
Love.mine
Yes
why they don't have sunroof?
Black beast E550 the platinum trim does
SL or Platinum
Review? Its just this dude sitting in the car driving and talking. And it kinda sounds like hes reading from a magasin... lol... 1 star. Work on you videos, more showing the car, less talking from you.
I have one, it’s quick, but not faster than a SHO or SS
agentd36 that's what I'm thinking. SHO is 365hp (although quite a bit heavier) and SS is 415hp. Big difference but the Maxima is still so fun to drive.
I had a 2012 Hyundai genesis 5.0 and bought it for $13k. That's 429 horsepower stock and they have tunes that make them quicker than a scatpack or newer mustang gt. Now THAT is the best sleeper money can buy. I love a strong V6 like a Maxima and they are fast but they get smoked by something like a genesis
Dude the car is fast, but how fast? I mean give us real numbers
Merry Christmas well I mentioned in the video it has 300hp/261lb-ft and I did a 0-60 run on camera in 6 seconds flat. What other numbers could you want? 0-100? Quarter mile? Nurburgring time? LOL
Then no, it isnt close to the fastest sedan for under 40k. Ford Fusion Sport and Dodge Charger RT will both leave it in the dust.
@@TheTestDrive how do you get 0-60 this fast? I just bought one can't seem to get under 7 seconds. I don't have premium fuel in but it seems to be slow of the start. Very nice at high speed but I rarely drive high speeds.
That sounds alot like my 12 Chevy Impala LT on startup.
#blackonblack
Kia Stinger is the fastest now, sorry Maxima
This is good...I'm a Nissan fan and they need more competition. They should go back to the rear wheel Cefiro days.
They didn't make a 2015!
Terry Roulhac correct - I meant that it was introduced in 2015, but the model year was 2016
mine i can cut it down to like 3 or 4 seconds in sport mode
Disposable transmissions though
Were do you get that info from? My neighbors altama has 150,000 on his original CVT! It's called proper maintenance! They are good transmissions!
lol nobody wants to buy nissans.....also, they are only fast if you are comparing it to a civic or corolla
this dude is pretty bad at reviewing cars.
Cool, now do a review yourself and stop wasting your time on commenting.
CrazyShock the dude's just giving his opinion on the guys reviews. your comment is completely irrelevant to the subject matter...
I think you’re just jealous you’ve never heard or seen anyone make such impressive review of your car.... and you know why? Prob because your car is heavy, slow, and boring like the people who drive them.
Rene Punzalan that is a fantastic straw man i must say
Their not gonna make the fusions anymore
It’s not the fastest, Ford Fusion is faster
TRack Monstah after owning a Fusion 2.0 and a Maxima SR, my Maxima is faster.
2017/18 Ford Fusion Sport has all wheel drive and a twin turbo 2.7 v6 with 325 hp and 380 pfT.
@Rawkfist1501 so true. This thing with the CVT is freaking impressive I drove a fusion turbo couple days ago and it was freaking Dreadful compared to the Maxima and I'm talking about the acceleration and throttle response
Ford? Lmao half of the miles on a Ford are on the back of a tow truck.
Trc Quina what are you talking about? Ford Fusion is in NO WAY faster.....
Also have a 2014 basic Ford fusion driver seat broke they want 1200 to fix my driver seat um no I gave it to my 6 foot 1 husband why I will never own another fusion..I have a warranty on my maxima
I beg to differ...now, the Honda Accord 2T will smoke it!!
I want to see more video of them racing that arab video is bs
The 2017 Dodge Charger R/T is definitely faster than that, and the fusion sport, and it's under 40k
Johnny Gonzales you're right, the R/T starts in the mid 30s. I'm amazed you can get a V8 for that price. Now when you start adding luxury and tech features it will go well over 40k quickly, but in terms of power for the price the Charger R/T is the best.
But v.8z are heavy compared to v.6z
Des M v8's are heavier, but they put out more power, which makes them faster. I want power, I could care less about weight.
Johnny Gonzales v6 can put out more power.
Brysen Phantharath which v6? Because neither of the v6's mentioned here are more powerful than the 5.7 hemi
This guy's review is fuking hilarious! He's loves the maxima but picks a ford fusion over it. Wat a joke!
All I can say is, "CVT" not a sports car.
CVT piece of CRAP! You can't call it a sports sedan with a CVT. It is not fast, it is heavy and slow.
Camry v6 is faster
You forgot the Fusion Sport....
LOL he said my Ford Fusion @6:43?! LMAO na man, not comparable bro...never will be
Jason Vorhees well they are of comparable size, price, and specs (doesn't that make them comparable?) I was comparing the ride quality which is better in my Fusion Titanium, and the Fusion Sport is actually faster and much more powerful (325hp/380lb-ft vs Maxima's 300hp/261lb-ft) with AWD and a real trans. I still love the Maxima but the powertrain needs a serious update.
The Ford Fusion titanium? Now that's a laugh because the real titanium vehicle was the 2003 maxima titanium which is my other car as well and trust me buddy, I will destroy that fusion in every category with my 2003 6 speed maxima, so for Ford to name a car titanium is copying Nissan already from a labeling standpoint which is wack
The Test Drive SHOULD NOT BE COMPARABLE AT ALL, The fusion is turbo first, maxima is not, (imagine if Nissan put turbo in it!!) it's comparable to the Malibu and accord and Camry and Passat etc. Maxima is a whole other ball game and quality difference not to mention much much sexier looking dosent look like a box like the fusion. And what the hell was Ford thinking when they COPIED Nissan again making a fucking platinum like the new maxima which they didn't have in 2016!!!! Wow not surprising coming from a company that named a sedan for five hundred which takes the legendary MERCEDES 500 name and puts that "500" name to great shame.
The Test Drive to reply without being a dick like the other guy, the maxima is flagship sedan in competition with the Ford Taurus, Kia Cardenas, Toyota Avalon. The nissan Altima would compare to the fusion in terms of price and quality.
Jason Vorhees You know I laughed at that statement too until I looked up the Fusion specs (325hp 380torque]. 😱
