The 2011 Nissan Maxima: before you buy

Recalls and complaints

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year.

What the figures tell you

It is powered by the 3.5L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

At 10.8 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 32 litres of fuel. Driving 300 km costs roughly $56.70 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Practical details

As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Its 396 litres of luggage space fit about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Good uses for the Maxima

It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

Drive it on your own roads

If the Maxima is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A week with the Maxima answers more than any brochure.

Running costs

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $189 at our price setting.

Choosing the right one

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
