2011 Nissan Maxima Sedan 3.5 SV 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
CVT Technology and the 2011 Maxima SV
 The 2011 Maxima SV is an overall great car.  Not only is the sports sedan great for people with kids who just can't bring themselves to travel around in a minivan, but it handles well, gets great gas mileage, and makes driving less of a chore and more of an adventure.  Really, I love to find an excuse, any excuse, to drive this car.  And it has plenty of room in the trunk for groceries, and for my large dog (who has not quite gotten used to the fact that we no longer have a hatchback vehicle and she can't just ride in there).  I don't know how I survived without a dual sunroof, heated and cooled seats, or a heated steering wheel.  And the pickup...when you press the gas, it GOES.
