2004 Nissan Maxima New Car Buyer's Guide
The 2004 Nissan Maxima is redesigned this year, placed on a stretched Nissan Altima platform for added interior room while simultaneously receiving a bump in engine power and additional sound deadening materials over its mainstream sibling. Nissan claims that the 2004 Maxima represents the official return of the four-door sports car, but several automakers ranging from Acura to Volvo could lay claim to that description today. Yes, the new 2004 Nissan Maxima is a huge improvement over the old car. No, it's not a sports car, but it does make a pretty good sports sedan. Roomy, comfortable, powerful and chic, this is the most desirable Maxima to come along in more than a decade. Styling is more distinctive than the Altima's, with a strong European flair. With its new four-wheel independent suspension, the ride quality and handling limits are vastly improved, though it still suffers from torque steer due to its front-drive layout.

The Inside Story: Dimensionally larger than its predecessors, the 2004 Nissan Maxima won't cramp anyone for space. The up-level SL features a rear-seat console that definitely makes it a 4-seater. The standard Skyroof is a long, narrow glass panel that brings plenty of light inside but you can opt for a conventional sliding sunroof if you wish.
