2016 Nissan Maxima Sedan Platinum 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
Lovin' My New 2016 Maxima!
 I'll admit, the Maxima wasn't even one of the cars on my list to consider, since I was so hell-bent on getting a Lexus IS 250, Scion FR-S, or Lexus NX300h.  I really wanted a sportier car that was fun to drive with great gas mileage, as I commute everyday, but needed one that could fit at least 5 people.  The Lexus NX300h was at the top of my list since it could easily fit in 5 people and had all the features I wanted, but was a bit out of my price range.  The Lexus IS250 was a lot more cramped and had a lot less features.. and though I REALLY liked the handling and driving of the Scion, much like the Lexus, it had a lot less features and was even more cramped in the rear seats (leg room was next to zero) and was even worse than the Lexus. As I was looking at the Lexus the dealer had in stock, I noticed a Nissan Maxima, which only had caught my eye because of the beautiful color (Bordeaux Black) I went to test drive the Lexus and Nissan and I was completely blown away by the interior, handling and performance of the Nissan.  I test drove the Nissan first and then the Lexus.  The Nissan had so many features that the Lexus didn't that I was sold after I had finished driving the Lexus.  The interior is amazing, and I love the blind spot indicators, as well as the excellent mpg, and the handling in sport mode is awesome! This car is definitely a head-turner and I always get compliments, especially on the color, styling and interior.  The only downsides to this car:  1.) Does not fit 5 people comfortably 2.) The Bose sound system is a little off, as the music tends to fade out at random times while playing music, without messing with any of the controls, but could just be my system. 3.) Navigation could be a little bit easier to use, since it can be dangerous trying to go and type through all the manual input information in different sections for the city, state etc while driving.  I find it easier to use the nav on my phone than the one in the car, where you can just enter the address easily.**UPDATE -- after a few months of driving it, I AM STILL IN LOVE WITH THIS CAR!  However, I do want to add two issues I have had, is the front and passenger car seats and the moon roof.  The seats can be a bit uncomfortable after a driving a few hours in this car.  They tend to make your shoulder hunch a little forward and might make a long drive feel a bit uncomfortable! Also, I had an issue with the moon roof, and after a couple of uses the motor and the bracket broke.  I was able to take it back to the dealer and was able to get it fixed, but because the makers decided to attach the motor to the roof itself, they had to replace the entire roof, which is completely made of glass! Luckily it was covered under my warranty and didnt have to pay the $4,500 invoice. But just a fair warning, buy this car without the moon roof.. that or just dont use the moon roof at all
