Auto loans: the 2016 Nissan Maxima

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2016 Nissan Maxima; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Thinking about the 2016 Nissan Maxima? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.

Before you sign for the Maxima

Owners filed 142 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, electrical system and unknown or other; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA lists 8 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

Reading the spec sheet

Power: the 3.5L 6-cylinder; drive: front-wheel drive. 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.

The EPA rates it at 9.5 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 29 litres. A 300 km weekend costs about $49.89 in energy at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,300 a year for 15,000 miles.

Best uses

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

What the Maxima is like

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. For luggage, 396 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

A longer test drive

Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A test week in the Maxima tells you more than any review. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

Picking a year and a trim

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.

Money matters

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. 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.
