Maxima was originally a top of the line trim for the 1981 Datsun 810. For 1982, the 810 name was dropped in favor of Maxima. By the 1985 model year, the Datsun name was dropped entirely in favor of the name Nissan, which had been introduced alongside the Datsun moniker. Those of us who are old enough will recall when Datsun named most of it's models with numbers such as the B210

Joe, I tend to agree with you regarding the overall design of the Maxima (soon to be known as the "Minima"), but the blacked-out exterior does tend to hide the quirks of this design. I actually like the monochromatic paint scheme on this particular Maxima. I would have substituted black chrome for the bright metalwork.

I've had 3 Nisan Maxima's (sorta). 2 Maxima's and one I30, same drivetrain as the Maxima. CVT Transmission went out on all 3 of them. Nissan covered 2 and Screwed us (in my opinion) on the 3rd. All 3 went out around 40K-80K miles I believe. Every year Nissan will tell you, "this CVT is new and totally improved." I'll avoid CVT from Nissan 100% of the time now. We were just a couple of thousand over warranty and Nissan would do absolutely nothing about it. Avoid Nissan CVT at all cost. I think it was around $4500. The engine is excellent, but the transmission should be avoided.

With the Altima growing in size, at this point it pretty much fills the Maxima's shoes. So why produce a vehicle with no purpose being served, and no profits being made really? While its sad, with Nissan going through their lineup up down and all around bringing changes and updates, its even sadder that we won't see the Maxima receive these same updates as well.

Maxima originally was the top of the line trim for the 1981 Datsun 810. For 1982, the 810 name was dropped. At this time, Datsun was beginning the changeover to the name Nissan and changing all of their models from number designations such as 210, 310, etc, to names such as Sentra, Stanza, etc, except for the 300zx.

Maxima was originally a top of the line trim for the 1981 Datsun 810. For 1982, the 810 name was dropped in favor of Maxima. By the 1985 model year, the Datsun name was dropped entirely in favor of the name Nissan, which had been introduced alongside the Datsun moniker. Those of us who are old enough will recall when Datsun named most of it's models with numbers such as the B210

Joe, I tend to agree with you regarding the overall design of the Maxima (soon to be known as the "Minima"), but the blacked-out exterior does tend to hide the quirks of this design. I actually like the monochromatic paint scheme on this particular Maxima. I would have substituted black chrome for the bright metalwork.

All 3 went out around 40K-80K miles I believe. Every year Nissan will tell you, "this CVT is new and totally improved." I'll avoid CVT from Nissan 100% of the time now. We were just a couple of thousand over warranty and Nissan would do absolutely nothing about it. Avoid Nissan CVT at all cost. I think it was around $4500. The engine is excellent, but the transmission should be avoided.

I used to own an A32 Cefiro (JDM Maxima) still one of the best cars ive owned. The seats were like armchairs, luxury touches and it just worked. Sad to see this model disappear.

That model that came out in 1995 was a beast. At the time it was the fastest 4 door Japanese sedan in the world. That 3.0 V6 just couldn't be touched when pushed the power wàs there and handled well
I love this car! Thanks for the review Joe!
I love this car no matter wht I drove every generation if you keep them up, they will last a long time. Maintenance is key🤌🏾
The Maxima lost the 4DSC moniker years ago unfortunately and the CVT takes away the driving feel so the Genesis G70 is the better choice!
As I say after so many videos, I will keep my 2023 G70 3.3T. The interior of the Maxima would have been nice ten years ago.

I agree. Too outdated and they fumbled the opportunity to make the final maxima special. Just doesn’t compare to the G70 imo. I’d never choose this over the Genesis. 💯⚡️⚡️⚡️
Bought a 17 a few years ago. Didn't realize there was so much hate on them. I love it.
So far I'm happy with my 3rd Maxima (1991, 2010, 2023).
Really surprised you don’t like how the Maxima looks. I think it’s the best looking Maxima of all time and it’s really held up! I had a 2016 for a full 5 years (longest I’ve ever owned any car) and the car maintained like new, only thing I ever changed was 1 battery right at the end and some oil changes.I sold it to get the TLX Type S in August of 2021. Still have and love the TLX.

@@Darylrb1983 my Favorite Maxima is the 4th gen SE and the 5.5 gen 3.5 SE in the manual…. But it’s hard to argue that the 8th gen wasn’t the best overall. The interior on the 8th gen is pretty great tbh. Only thing that held that car back was the CVT and even that was no where near as bad as the CVT in the 6th and 7th gens. The Xtronic in the Maxima and the CVT in the civics will change a lot of peoples minds about the CVT being that bad… the rubber band feel is pretty much gone from them.

😂got me a 03 too, 4 speed auto tho. That 6speed manual was a beast during it's time back then
If Nissan redesign it with 350 hp and AWD with 9 speed automatic it will be GREAT
i had to get rid of my 16 Maxima Platinum cause it was getting old and the miles where high i tried to get this 23 but they wanted almost $50,000 and that was way out for me.
If I bought one, My license plate would say "GLUTEUS"
Maxima originally was the top of the line trim for the 1981 Datsun 810. For 1982, the 810 name was dropped. At this time, Datsun was beginning the changeover to the name Nissan and changing all of their models from number designations such as 210, 310, etc, to names such as Sentra, Stanza, etc, except for the 300zx.
I got the platinum no Issues with the CVT don’t even notice it’s there drivers that good.
I rented a versa, Sentra then Altima. Was going to rent a maxima then found out it somehow has less room than an Altima even though its exterior is bigger
I have the 2023 Maxima SR...for the money, it's one of the best, sharpest, nicest riding cars out there! I hate small cars; this one has plenty of room, very comfortable (and, still fairly tight) & excellent power in "Sport Mode". Just a pleasure to drive it daily and still turn heads! However, what do I trade it in for next? I've been down the Altima road, great cars, but after driving this beast, I want more...LOL
I think the G70 is in a different league then the maxima and is not a fair comparison lol. I know you’re comparing them probably only because of price point.
I’ll take my G70 3.3 AWD any day. Not even in the same league.
I’ll upgrade my 22 Max when the next gen drops

What up Joe? MAXIMA TIME!!!
The Nissan Maxima Compared with: - BMW 5 Series - Audi A6 - Mercedes E Class - Lexus ES - Infiniti Q50 - Acura TLX - Kia Cadenza/Stinger - Genesis g80 - Toyota Avalon - Honda Accord - Hyundai Azera - Tesla Model S - Ford Taurus - Chevrolet Impala - Volkswagen Arteon - And More
I would go for g70 all the way. No doubt in my mind at all lol, and im not even a fan of Hyundai/genesis
I remember riding in a 3.5 maxima and I was shocked how hard it pulled for a family sedan 🤣
That CVT is a "Party Pooper" for Nissan. They shoot themselves in the foot by using it.
Haven't seen a Maxima in years. Did not realize it was still in production.

You are not the first to say that
Wish I knew about the cvt before I got My 2010 maxima as my first car. Currently it has 230k miles the cvt has been good to me. I just like how the new ones looks
Joe could you co-laborate with The Angry Grandma and do a car review with her. LoL
I would have bought one but that CVT never they screwed up put the transmission in the Nissan pathfinder and the frontier in there I would want one.
Both the Maxima and G70 are being discontinued so neither win.
This is definitely a car you dont want to give to a floridian 😭
45k+?🤯Nissan is putting prices at the level of luxury brands, unjustifiable since the finishes and the technology that the brand has, is still behind to pay so much for a máxima. 
Is this maxima cvt. Cause if they do it the kill it.
You are insane if you take one of these over a G70 😂 Even at $35k this car would still be too expensive.

Bought a 1989 Maxima new, a two valve V6 5-speed manual, sent the new car out to the upholstery and had it done in black leather which was unavailable new, the car hauled azz, torque steer was at a minimum as front-wheel drive, Nissan was unbeatable on the RaceTrack on the GTP circuits, made in Japan, we drove it 245,000 miles, before trading it in on a Dodge minivan for our kids,, never had extended warranty never did any repairs,, never change the timing belt. The Toyo tires gave the smoothest ride. Never burned oil.

Oh wow those were the days!
Since when is a Maxima considered a sport sedan? 😂
I have a 2009 with 290 hp 3.5 v6 and cvt. Nissan has done very little to upgrade the max since then. During that time they could've put the 3.7 from the g37 in it, made it awd or at least rwd and put either the 7 speed or 9 speed automatic from the infinitis and it would've been good to go
I love the Maxima so dang much!!! It’s like one of my favorite sedans out there. I’m sad that it’s going away. Even though I’m not a huge fan of black exterior cars, that black on black looks awesome!!!! Thanks Joe for reviewing the Maxima’s last year!
Love the Maxima. Just got one and the handling, cabin comfort, and power does what it needs to do for my expectations!! It’s a great car!!
The maxima give you so much . Size , roof , leather seats , look etc
