First post updated.

Just wondering but why do people always film their speedometer, what's interesting about that..

Maybe to watch the speed, since that's what the videos are about.

Well, probably to show the capabilities of the car at low, medium, and high speeds. The difference in acceleration with different speeds.

I understand that the speedometer is important to show, but such a close up is so not necessary

My iPhone mount is close, and the iPhone video camera zooms up as well ! lol can't do anything to that.

Really he doesn't want to show himself doing it on a public road

How many gears do you have, I counted 8!?!?

CVT box, thought the shifts sounded strange

Read about the CVT, it has a belt and two pulleys. The concept of this transmission is the same concept of a bicycle chain transmission. Basically the CVT changes the chain's position on those pulleys to deliver the power needed at each speed. This concept saves fuel and delivers better engine acceleration.

I think it has around 10 to 12 different chain sets, which sound like gear shifts.

Fast for an ugly looking car o.0

My friend's dad drives the same Maxima. I like the car, hate the transmission. No manual transmission for a "four door sports car"? Pfft. Doesn't it have like 360HP?

Nice videos.

My dad drives a Sentra with the same CVT, you only notice a belt change at higher engine speeds, when you're just cruising around town, you hear the ugly whine of the Sentra's MR20 engine just whirring and whirring.

Has a 290HP

I counted 7-8 sec 0-100kmh. Have you timed it properly any time?

And yeah, the gear shifts sounded wierd, like the clutch was slipping for half a second after the shift

Edit: car does look diffrent, but cool

I think that car is beautiful

Tbh I just google searched the car as I can't remember seeing a pic of it.

It looks nice, but a g35/GT-R wannabe . I know I'm one to talk though my golf isn't exactly a pretty site atm.

I would see it more off a four door/family version off the g35/GT-R

Isn't Maxima the flagship of Nissan's family cars?

How it was compared to a GTR is beyond me.

It's like saying a Cygnet is a smaller version of the One-77. They share a badge. That is all.
