I just turned in a 2016 Maxima SL. I was supposed to trade it in for a 2019 Altima to save cash. After test driving the Altima, there wasn’t any other option but to get back into a 2019 Maxima SL. I know that there are comparable cars out there as far as performance goes, but I really enjoy the aggressive styling of the Maxima, inside out.
The exhaust note is great. I hear people complaining about the CVT, but I haven’t had any problems with it yet. It takes some getting used to, but it’s pretty refined and smooth. Bose sound system, panoramic glass sunroof, very clean and smart, driver oriented interior.
Gas mileage is accurate at 20city, 30hwy. It’s just a great car to lease. I recommend it to anyone looking for an athletic daily driver, and anyone bored with the bland styling of an Accord or Camry/Avalon.
