The Maxima engine has instant torque and progresses way more smoothly than the old VQ. Sounds like a luxury car engine with grunt. All that said. The CVT murders all the enhancement with droney fake gear changes in sport mode and an ongoing hum in all other modes.
So basically. The CVT murdered yet another good car. Why Subaru and Nissan are doing this to performance cars is beyond me. Go Nissan!!!
