Great car with some minor issues.
 I've had this car for about a month now and have now had sufficient time to judge the Maxima on its merits. Everything is in its right place in the interior and materials (even on the lowly "S" trim) are first rate and very attractive. The cockpit feels like a cocoon designed to envelope the driver and ensure passenger space and comfort. It's not a Maybach inside, but it's big enough and larger than most non-SUV autos these days.  The CVT is surprisingly easy to get used to and acceleration is ample even when you're already going 55mph.  Front wheels could use a limited slip differential, though - as it's really easy to break the tires loose on less than level surfaces, off-camber turns, and when punching the accelerator - either moving or standing still. It would also help with higher speed cornering performance, as there is a vagueness to the steering and lack of a feeling of 'connectedness' to the road in the Maxima.  This is a drive-by-wire/steer-by-wire car if ever there was one and it feels like it...it's not easy to know what the car's actually doing when you're driving at the limit in less than optimal conditions, so best not drive this vehicle like a Porsche Panamera or BMW M3/M5. It's not that kind of car. Otherwise, literally and I mean literally, my only complaints about the Maxima are fuel economy and the sunglass holder above the rearview mirror. I'm getting about 19mpg in city and highway driving, which is not acceptable and the little holder for sunglasses is so tiny, you can really only fit a pair of reading glasses in there. What a waste of an easy to execute item! Again, though, I love this car for what it is and will enjoy driving it while I own it.
