Getting the Maximum from my Maxima
 This is great vehicle for singles or couples.  Not so much for folks who carry backseat passengers regularly.  Its definitely sporty looking and powerful but a traditional trans would have been a great option.  Cant complain about the CVT though.  Its been smooth and trouble free for the two years + that I've owned the car.  I loved the idea of having the panoramic sunroof but living with it has proved to be less than a love affair.  After about of year it began to rattle.  After several trips to the dealer, their solution was to replace the entire roof - under warranty, of course.  Unfortunately the problem has returned and can be nerve wrecking on bumpier roads.  Thankfully the Bose sound system is clear and strong enough to drown it out the rattle.  As time has passed, the gas mileage has improved.  Even under a lead-footed driver like myself, I can squeeze out 25 mpg under mixed driving.  Just be prepared to pay at the pump.  We all know that premium isn't always cheap!  But all in all, as a repeat Maxima owner (this being #4), this one is the best I've owned yet.  Love it and it still looks as fresh as anything else on the road.
