With all the talk today about hybrids and crossover vehicles, all people are really looking for is a car that is stylish, affordable and economical to operate and the 2012 Nissan Maxima meets all these requirements and then some. With its stylish four-door comfort and 26 MPG on the highway, the 2012 Nissan Maxima offers the best of all worlds.

From the sleek design that some people are calling a “four-door sports car,” to the powerful, yet economical engine, the continuously variable front-wheel drive transmission, and into the roomy and comfortable interior, the 2012 Nissan Maxima is a midsized car with a sports car heart. The Maxima comes standard in a four-door package with a 290 horsepower V6 engine and a front wheel drive automatic transmission.

The interior of the 2012 Nissan Maxima is packed with luxury car features as well. Just using your keyless entry and slipping behind the wheel will show you many features usually found only on cars with much higher price tags, such as Bluetooth, an alarm system, cruise control and keyless start. And if you spend just a bit more to upgrade to the premium package, you get many more options, including a climate-controlled driver’s seat. Heated front seats are also available on the Cold and Sports packages. There is nothing better than heated seats on a cold morning!

Performance is another place in which the 2012 Nissan Maxima excels. With the standard 3.5-liter, 290 horsepower, V6 engine there is power to spare. And the front wheel drive powered by a continuously variable transmission gives it handling that rivals much sportier models.

If you are looking for an upscale midsized car with four-door comfort and sports car performance, look no further than the 2012 Nissan Maxima.
