 I like having cars that are relatively unique. When I first saw the Maxima I was taken to the new exterior immediately.  I went to a dealership and test drove the car.  The interior is impressive. The quality of materials used is in line with other Luxury car manufacturers, the zero gravity seats are not as comfortable as I am used to but offer adequate adjustments. The easy entry feature for me is a must. I was surprised to find the Maxima had it. The layout of the dash, including the main display, push button start and the Nissan informant System is in line with my Porsche. The 7 inch display between the instrument cluster limits my need to take my eyes off the road to see my GPS and other important information, again like my Porsche. The quietness of the interior is amazing. The acceleration,and handling of the car exceeded my expectations. The Maxima is not a sports car as Nissan is promoting, but it is a true Luxury car.  Put a Premium name plate on the Maxima and you would easily pay $15,000.00 + more.  This is the best investment in a Luxury car I have ever made, and one of the best values on the market
