2008 Nissan Maxima
Full-size Sedan
Nissan offers a unique experience of adding a bit more executive-level luxury than other in its full size sedan class. For example this five-person car is reduced to four people total when optioned with bucket seats for the rear passengers. There is also an option for dual sunroofs. There is quality behind this car, too, as the Maxima has earned a recommendation from Consumer Reports.
