#8937 of 8972 Re: 2006 vs 2007 [autoboy16] by dhamp Mar 12, 2007 (1:55 pm)
Replying to: autoboy16 (Sep 17, 2006 12:00 pm) I drove the '07 CVT to satisfy my own curiosity when they first hit the showroom. It was fresh off the truck with the protective white plastic still stuck all over it. The seat-of-the-pants meter said it was slower than an '87 Sentra. Watching the speedo, however, indicated that it accelerating pretty well. The place where I was forced to do the test drive limited how hard I could get on it. It was smooth as the commercials say, but it felt unexciting to me. The interior on the '07 is so much nicer to me than the '04-'06's though. I mean WAY nicer. If the one I was driving had more than .7 miles on it, and had been broken in, it may have felt stronger. I might go find a used '07 w/more than 10k mi on it and test drive that, then buy a new one if I like the perfermance of the broken-in used one.
#8938 of 8972 2007 Maxima engine breaking by lcm8 Mar 16, 2007 (10:09 am)
My 2007 Maxima exhibits significant engine breaking when I take my foot off the gas at speeds of about 40 or less. Feels a little like driving in neutral. It will pull back for a few seconds and then all of a sudden feel like it is back in normal mode, and almost lurches a little sometimes. Has anyone else expereinced this? I like the CVT in general, but this is annoying. Not sure if this is just a function of the CVT or if I should have it checked out. Replies to this message: maximafan (Oct 13, 2007 9:09 pm)
#8939 of 8972 Foot missing the accerator and missed the brake too. by kackysmom Jun 02, 2007 (5:21 pm)
I've had a problem with my foot missing the accerator when I go from the brake pedal to the accerator. I haven't worried too much but last week I pulled in our driveway and I hit the garage door button I couldn't find the brake pedal. I drove thur the door and ended up hitting the freezer (had to buy another one) I'm about 5'4 with rather small feet so I keep the seat up fairly close and sometimes I feel like my foot is going to slide off the brake pedal. Sorry this is so long but I'm actually scared to drive it very much and I've considered trading This is a 2005 and did look brand new.

Replying to: warrior_pr (Jul 25, 2006 9:07 pm) For the ones that want to know... an update from my new 2006 S40 Volvo, 23K miles trouble free driving experience. Only complain.... orthopedic front seat hard to dominate.... otherwise silence cabin, great MPG numbers, great motor, great MPG , good sport handling, great transmission shift, $0 maintenance charged and great MPG. Yes more than 25MPG average. Honestly I do not miss my old 2005 Nissan Maxima "my worse car deal in my life".

Replying to: warrior_pr (Jun 13, 2007 8:37 pm) Comparing apples to oranges. Full size large sedan compared to compact, overpriced, underpowered and FORD built vehicle? Most turbos in gasoline cars do not last long so my opinion you bought it for a year or 2. I don't know your experience, but in Maxima I get more power, more space for all passengers and luggage, same or higher MPG without any turbo lag. You should compare Sentra to S40. Paying premium for a compact car? If I were you, I will go for BMW instead. 3 Series surely beats s40 in every category. Let me guess, in queens there is dealership which shares floor for Nissan and Volvo. Is this where you got it?
#8943 of 8972 Is it right time to buy 07 maxima now? by cidxie Jun 18, 2007 (5:28 pm)

Replying to: bjornb (Apr 11, 2002 10:09 am) hi, GeorgeD98   Do you mind tell me how often time wise(?monthes) that you change oil for 10K change intervals? Do you have to stick with 3 month peroid? 10k for 3 month is a lot of driving.   Thank you Replies to this message: jdubbs4 (Mar 19, 2008 11:24 am)

Replying to: lcm8 (Mar 16, 2007 10:09 am) Icm8, my 2007 Lexus RX 350 does the same thing. I thought that was a characteristic of Toyota/Lexus transmissions, but after hearing that you're experiencing the same thing in the Maxima, I'm not so sure now why these cars drive like this! P.S. I have the 5-speed automatic, no CVT tranny.
