The figures, translated
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
Space, size and seats
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with.
Who the Maxima suits
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Drive it on your own roads
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Maxima answers the big questions. Rent the Maxima for a week and see how it fits your life.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Year and trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
