The 2018 Nissan Maxima for buyers
No 2018 Nissan Maxima is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. For anyone shopping for the 2018 Nissan Maxima, here are the facts that matter.
A buyer's checks
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
The numbers in plain words
The engine is the 3.5L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT). It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Plan on about 29 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 9.5 L/100 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $49.89 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who it is for
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
What the Maxima is like
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. The EPA lists 396 litres for luggage, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Try before you buy
A week with the Maxima answers more than any brochure. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Maxima answers the big questions. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Narrowing it down
Within the 2018 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.63 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $166.30 at our price setting.
