Phil has had his 2010 Nissan Maxima for a full year now, and he’s got another great update for us on his experience with Nissan’s flagship sedan.  If you’ll notice, his MPG calculation is slightly below mine, which can be due to a number of factors – driving distance, style, and gas used – Phil uses regular, while I follow Nissan’s recommendation and use premium.  Read on for Phil’s experience in the last quarter.

Owner’s Log: 2010 Nissan Maxima, Update 5

Well, the miles aren’t exactly piling up any more, and it isn’t the Maxima’s fault.  I moved.  I’m now driving around 1,000 miles less each month, to the tune of around 500 miles.  Last month, I only filled up once.  I’m driving my wife’s Mazda6 on the weekends, as it’s better suited for hauling groceries or loot from the local Home Depot.  During the week, my commute is shorter by a decent margin, which does two things.  One, it lowers my average MPG, and two, it lowers my time and miles spent in the car.  Read on for some notes.

Due to a mix-up, Phil’s 2nd quarter update was never posted, so I’ve combined it with his 3rd quarter update on his 2010 Nissan Maxima.  In the future, we hope to have Phil’s data posted quarterly again.  Now then, while Phil doesn’t drive his Maxima as much as I drive mine, he still has some very nice insights pertaining to the ownership of his car.  Click on past the jump for more details.

Wow, it’s hard to believe I’ve had my 2010 Nissan Maxima for a full year now! A tick over 15,000 miles, several road trips, and lots of seat time have been recorded.  Read my original review first, if you haven’t already, and then click past the jump to see what’s been going on in the past few months and if my first thoughts on the car remain true.

February was a great month for new-car sales, with the total volume up 21.28% over January, and almost 27% over February of 2010.  Those are the overall numbers, but the general trend for February was that American car companies had a good time, while most of their overseas competitors struggled.  Click past the jump for my analysis and graphs.
