Reviews Summary

At this point, calling the Nissan Maxima a 4-door sports car seems like an outright lie. A BMW 335i is 4-door sports car. The Maxima? Not so much. But if you like the way this car looks, you’re probably going to like everything else about it.

Reviews Summary

Rodney Dangerfield was a legendary stand-up comedian, and while his on-stage shtick was all about how he didn’t get any respect, as a comedic talent he was held in the highest esteem. That’s not the case for the 2017 Chevrolet Malibu. The oft-maligned Malibu literally gets no respect, which is too bad because with its most recent redesign for the 2016 model year, the car absolutely deserves it.
