Nissan’s Flagship, the Maxima is the one car that comes to mind when you think Nissan. It has the body of a sedan but the heart and soul of a sports car. From the powerful V6 to the sporty suspension and fantastic handling, there’s no denying what the Maxima is all about. The Maxima is the original Four Door Sports Car, and remains true to its roots. There is plenty in the way of creature comforts, luxury, and technology though - if that’s your thing. Just a few of the available features are leather seating, keyless starting, heating steering wheel, and the Xtronic CVT - the world’s smartest transmission.
