@@Uruieiejust so you know, i'm only talking about the Civic in this video which is a 9th gen Civic Si, it's a sports car. Toyota didn't even offer a sporty competitor (Corolla XRS) to the 9th gen Civic. In fact, Toyota hasnt had a response to the Civic Si in the US after the Corolla XRS until now with the GR Corolla but again I'm talking specifically about the civic in this video and not civics in general, which is what you seemed to assume. Not sure what makes it such an "ass" car and no i'm not a honda fanboy, I think both Toyota and Honda are great obviously. Also nobody cares about a VQ in a CVT maxima lol, NPC car. Not a true enthusiast car and not the true VQ that Nissan is known for
@@ufork lol then maximas be dusting them little boy civics. Toyota has more money than Honda. They could buy Honda today. Check out those net worth. Don’t compare Toyota and honda. BMW even started a partnership with Toyota since 2011. That’s speaks volume it self. As for Nissan they have way better motors than Honda. Honda is last in the pack…
@@Uruieie did you even read my comment? Lol. It's not about which brand is better or has more money, I was specifically comparing one model from one brand to another model from another brand but I guess that went completely over your head, so don't tell me what not to compare 😂 And yeah sure the maxima is faster but that's not really my point. It's just another boring, numb car to drive. I'm sure it's a nice car but it just won't offer the same driving experience that the Civic will. I guess it's not really fair to compare the two cars. Also not really sure what the BMW Toyota collaboration has to do with anything lol. They made one car and enthusiasts were disappointed anyway because it's basically just a rebadged BMW Z4
I've driven Nissan Maximas and always have had a thing for them. Thought I would try the Q50S for the AWD, but the style, technology, space and the overall beauty of the vehicle I may go back!
I have the 21 SR in triple black and I'm already at 106k miles because of my job. I wish Nissan would release a Nismo model giving it the drivetrain from the Q50 Sport, 300 hp and a 7spd automatic with AWD. Just plug and play it. The body is already beautiful. That and add a HUD and they'd sell like hotcakes. And to differentiate it from the Q50, give the Q50 the ZF 9 Speed Auto and keep it RWD/AWD with that configuration.
I have owned many Infinitis in the past. Nissan, at its roots, is an engineering company and their engines are much better than the competition's. I have been driving their 3.5 and 3.7 engines for years and have never had any problems. Nissan was the very first Japanese company to pioneer drive-by-wire, break-by-wire, and CVT transmission. They were unfairly singled out for their CVT transmission issues in the past simply because they sold a lot and were pioneers in this area. Now, almost all the mainline Japanese companies are starting to adopt CVTs. Nissan had its tumultuous period in the past, but I consider it an engineering and conservative Japanese car company. I am glad they moved independently outside of Renault's influence, and I hope they do better.
one thing I love about my 7th gen maxima (and i'm pretty sure its the same with this 8th gen) is not only does it handle amazing (especially since I got CoilOvers) but the car feels like a mid sized coupe when you're driving it...Evn though it's a big car it does not feel or drive that way. It's agile.
One thing I don’t like about dealerships is that people drive this car brand new from 0miles and they put soo much STRESS in the engine ! Don’t you have to break in the engine first before stepping the gas all the way down?!
All these cars are broken in from the factory. When a client test drives a car, virtually everyone floors it to experience the power and to see if it is enough for their needs. Unless we are taking about cars like BMW M3/M5, or a Corvette, which have specific break-in instructions and a 1600 mile service, then I wouldn't worry about it.
@@DMCarReviewsInteresting to see how uninformed you are being a car channel. The owner’s manual for the Maxima literally says, for the first 1,200 miles, to avoid running the engine over 4,000 RPM, to avoid full throttle, and to avoid quick starts, none of which you abided by in your video. Although I understand why you wouldn’t care since you’re not the one buying the car, and someone else will have to deal with the potential issues that pop up down the road because you ran it too hard during its crucial break-in period. Just a bit inconsiderate for someone paying over $40k for a “new” car.
@@hmnieu I don't understand, are you trolling right now, or you're being serious? Many customers who test drive these cars drive them hard and floor them. If a car can't take a simple acceleration, then don't buy such a car. Cars with designated break-in periods self limit rpms and power. Go educate yourself
@@DMCarReviews Not trolling at all. Real car enthusiasts like myself just want to inform wannabe car enthusiasts like you of the proper way of doing things and to prevent the spread of misinformation. It’s true that a lot of people do take brand new cars on hard test drives, but that alone doesn’t mean it’s good for the engine. Once you understand what it takes to rebuild an engine like I have and that extremely close tolerances need time to properly seat will you fully appreciate following the proper break-in procedures for a brand new engine. Plus, it literally says in the Nissan manual that not following proper break-in can result in shortened engine life and reduced engine performance, so I believe it is you that needs to be educated.
Good job capturing that CVT drone. Nissan needs to get the Jetta Aeson Automatic transmission and get it together with this. Hopefully in the Infinity they keep the regular automatic transmission.
I mean aside from refreshers. It’s an almost 10 year old platform. I believe it’s coming back as an all electric but given the suv crave it might not come back at all. The Murano is also almost 10 years old. But sales are decent so they’re keeping it
This is probably just as fast as my 2008 IS350 that I had, but as far as fun goes I think the Lexus was miles ahead. Rear wheel drive with power like this is the best. Also I have a hard time agreeing with a CVT
I personally love the Maxima. I can't help but feel Nissan wants it to fail with the continuous use of the CVT transmission. This is the only reason why I am not driving one now.
I am sure anything "gutted" upwards of 250+hp and sub 3000 lbs can beat a stock family sedan. You can gut a 120hp Civic, and it will be just as fast. What a weird comparison... The new Maxima is faster than every previous generation.
This has a Jatco CVT transmission and they have had MAJOR issues in the past. I do love the Maxima but they are now building the transmissions in Mexico and the engines in the US, so its really not much of a Japanese car anymore.
@@DMCarReviews I won't argue with that, but it doesn't get good ratings overall and is usually ranked near the bottom of most lists for cars in it's category. Like I said, I think the Maxima is a sweet car, but reliability reports say otherwise.
