On today’s edition of Southeast Texas Car Reviews, we focus on the HIGHLY anticipated 2016 Nissan Maxima.

For years, the Maxima has been praised by SETX car buyers as a sporty, comfortable vehicle that competently walked the line between sports car and family friendly luxury.

Boom. The 2016 Nissan Maxima.

There have been rumors among Southeast Texas Nissan fans that BIG changes were coming. The 2016 Maxima would take a bold step up into the luxury sport ranks and actually compete with brands like Jaguar, BMW, Lexus, and Mercedes.

Oh yeah, people are excited about the 2016 Maxima

How did they do?

Early praise from SETX Nissan fanatics is enthusiastic.

The styling of the 2016 Nissan Maxima is a major leap forward. When the Southeast Texas Car Reviews staff first saw the 2016 Nissan Maxima our first thought was “Jaguar”. Nissan calls the design “fighter-jet” inspired, and we can see that, but our first thought was of a panther ready to spring forward.

If you love to drive cars, call Silsbee Nissan to schedule a test drive of the 2016 Nissan Maxima. This is close to having your own race car:

• 300 horse power
• 5 Lister VQ V6
• Drive Mode Selector with “Sport” Setting
• Low, Wide, Aggressive Stance
• Iconic “Floating” Roof Design – really gives beautiful views whether you’re in the Big Thicket, Sam Rayburn, or at your Crystal Beach house.
• Sport Tuned Suspension
• Massive 19” Rims

Essentially the 2016 Nissan Maxima gives Southeast Texas seniors a four door sports car. You can hit “sport mode” and run your Maxima all out when you are on your own, reminding you of your old 55 Chevy or 72 Charger. When you pick up the grandchildren, click “sport mode” off and they are in a safe luxury vehicle that miraculously gets 30 miles per gallon on the highway.

Were you an Air Force or Navy pilot? When SETX Seniors are in the driver’s seat of the 2016 Nissan Maxima, it is easy to see where Nissan gets the “fighter-jet” inspired description from. The driver’s seat of the Nissan Maxima definitely has a “jet cockpit” vibe – the open feel from the floating roof design with lots of futuristic angles and chrome. There is a robust D shaped steering wheel which will add to the race car feel of the 2016 Nissan Maxima for our Southeast Texas seniors. It was inspired by the Nissan GT-R Supercar as was the new center console style, angled 7 degrees toward the driver. This great Southeast Texas sports car places the Driver Mode Selector and the Nissan Display Commander right at your finger tips.

The 2016 Nissan Maxima really amps up the sports car feel and performance for Southeast Texas car buyers, but they also raise the level of luxury at the same time:

• Premium Ascot Leather Appointed Seats
• Diamond Quilted Seat Inserts
• Bose Active Noise Cancellation
• Ambient LED Interior Lighting
• Zero Gravity Front Seats
• Heated AND COOLED Front Seats- a big plus for Southeast Texas car buyers
• Dual Panel Panoramic Moonroof
