Lightly used Maxima is easily the best value in the Luxury car segment.
If they made an AWD variant.... man...
Yup, wish they were RWD instead of fwd, but they did it because of Infiniti I'm guessing.

30k+ on a Maxima? 
I got a 2010 G37 in 2014 for 17k, I think you could have got more luxury on the used market if your budget was 30k
Either way congrats. My G is a tank so I'm assuming the maxima is too. Plus 300hp+ and BOSE speakers
I think I said it on here before but the G/Maxima interiors are so luxurious with the factory sound systems and the performance it'll have you driving it like it's a way better car than it is (perception wise at least).

Other than RWD or AWD, what does a supposed "luxury" car have that a Maxima doesn't have?
A badge to impress your co-workers?
An inflated MSRP?

You answered your own question. Therefore you know what time it is my dude but tell people you got that "luxury" maxima and see the reaction. Oh yeah don't use the they don't got money card either cause you can go around people with money and nobody going for the maxima a "luxury" car either.

Maxima has all the makings of a luxury car to me, breh. If you feel that someone needs to pay a premium on some shyt just for the benefit of calling it "luxury", I don't know what to tell ya.
That's what I thought, but this guy went from an Audi to a Nissan, and everyone in here is cosigning him. For what it's worth the car has great ratings. I might have to test drive one.

Thats good for you but I'm speaking mainstream. Being realistic how many people going to compare a maxima to a real deal luxury car?

I dunno breh. I think there's a way of thinking that equates "luxury car" with "how much stunting can I do" or "how much does it cost" rather than the characteristics of the car itself.
When you consider how broke most Americans are, I'd say if you put most of them in a 40k Maxima (with the badges off), they'd agree it was a luxury car even though it doesn't have the pedigree or price tag of a more expensive car.
Maxima is a great car, breh. You're not gonna make badge whores jealous by any means and it's certainly not a luxury brand, but it's absolutely a luxury car.

Who are we some soccer moms? We don't really care about ratings. I've never bought a car based on ratings. Of course if its some problem with it I'd like to know but outside of that its how it looks, drives (to you), makes you feel when you driving it, etc not some randoms ratings that might differ from you. Again being realistic for those that can and can't afford them who is really like gotta cop that Maxima over the Benz, audi, bmw that you know IRL? Only online do you see such stuff on any type of decent level. I bet if most can afford the cars mentioned above and the maintenance them cars win in a landslide over the maxima and that's all you need to know about its perceived "luxury" when put up against similar competition.

Of course there is a way for thinking about stunting and the like but that's what luxury is about fam. Who argues that but are the dude copping pay less over nike cause they the same thing? fukk no we all like to "stunt" in our own ways and we can't a lot of people like to hit the value play card. Also of course most people that's working 9 to 5 would think a maxima is a luxury car but they wouldn't pick it over the other similar cars if given the choice. I think you know that. If you could get any car in the similar range maxima, eclass, 5 series, audi 6/7 and don't have to worry about maintenance you really think you and most people for whatever reason picking the maxima? That is moreso my view on this issue. I'm not saying the maxima is wack just saying its not a luxury car in the way luxury is looked at here.
