2016 Nissan Maxima Sedan Platinum 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
Let's keep it a secret
 After 2 weeks the 2016 is miles ahead of the previous version.  Styling, comfort, tech...it has it all.  Would not really call it a sports car as there is body lean and it is a big car..But it can really go and if your really buying a sports car are you buying a 4 door...maybe the Porsche for 90K. As far as the CVT, unless your a total car enthusiast you will never know the difference...until you check your gas mileage.  My first highway trip of 240 miles I got 33.7MPG.  For a car this size...wow.  Seats are very comfortable....my only complaint about the car...the passenger seat should have 8 way adjustments...for a car that cost 42k?  The controls are easy to read and easy to navigate, the stereo is miles better than the old Maxima, safety additions...blind spot monitor, predictive braking and parking sonar are all a big plus.  The fit and finish are really nice, way better than previous version.  The ride (while not a Mercedes S550) is extremely quiet and comfortable.  The  quilted seats, hand stitched dashboard, diamond patterned wood trim, panoramic roof, heated and cooled seats, flat bottom Heated steering wheel; this all comes together in a car that is 1000's less than you could spend somewhere else.  Obviously beauty is in the eye of the beholder...but this car looks great and drives even better.  It is not the perfect car, but Nissan deals and you won't find more bang for your buck anywhere.  Unless you need to pull up with a nameplate to impress people, this car does it all without the big price....Do yourself a favor and if your looking for a FUN SEDAN...at least test drive the new Maxima, you will not be sorry!!!
