What Our Members Are Saying about the Available Features of the 2008 Nissan Maxima

2008 Nissan Maxima Available Features: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD		 Smooth ride and CVT, while it takes getting used to, is a nice feature to help preserve fuel economy. Interior well made and controls easy to find as a driver. Love the iPod hook-up, sattelite radio, NAV system, touch screen, list goes on and on! see full Nissan Maxima review
2009 4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD		 This car has the Premium Package plus the Nav Package, so is loaded with features I want. Due to poor circulation in my hands, I must have a heated steering wheel the cooler half of the year. This car has that. It also has a rear window sunscreen I keep in use the hotter half of the year. The backup camera is very clear, and I use it every day. I love the separate air conditioning system for the driver's seat. I love the engine compression braking feature Nissan added to the Maxima. Far too many features to name. see full Nissan Maxima review
2008 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD		 Nice comfort features, controls easy to see. Steering wheel controls very convenient. see full Nissan Maxima review
2008 Nissan Maxima Available Features: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD		 I personally feel a car in this class needs power folding outside mirrors. The garages in our current custom home have ten foot wide doors. But many newer homes, especially retirement homes, have garage doors as narrow as eight feet. This leaves only inches between the mirrors and the garage door opening. With eight foot garage doors, these mon-power folding mirrors would be very inconvenient, requiring careful attention and very slow movement entering and leaving. Either that or opening the windows in a downpour to manually fold them. see full Nissan Maxima review

2008 4dr SUV 310-horsepower 5.6L V8
5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD w/low range		 The truck (SE) offered more than the competition for a few thousand less: large V8, rear view camera, Bose audio, sunroof, dual-zone HVAC, automatic AWD, 3rd row seating, etc. Features that were exclusive to higher trim models of other makers. see full Nissan Pathfinder review
