One of the more positive car mag reviews I've seen for a late model Maxima.

"......Once you do, you’re left with a damned good SPMS—a semi-premium midsize sedan. For a front-drive car with a $30,000-$40,000 price range, the quick 2016 Maxima is a high-quality package that should find favor with drivers who prioritize fun over the superior rear-seat and trunk space of Nissan’s competitors. The CVT helps the Maxima stand out in a good way, an interesting turnaround considering we deemed the CVT in our long-term 2009 Maxima a “major killjoy.”

Glad to see that Nissan took the extra time to nail the new CVT in the 8th generation. It was totally worth the wait!

Hold that thought until the car has been out for a while.
