The Best Car Under $40,000

This aggressive, agile brute of a Nissan Maxima can be yours for just $37,670! Yep that's right-the stylish, head turning 2016 Nissan Maxima SR is only $37,670 making it the best car that you can buy for under $40,000.

Let me be clear, I too was surprised that the Nissan Maxima looks this good. With is exaggerated rear haunches and lines that make the Maxima look like a cut-body builder, it just blew my mind. The best part about the design is the blacked out top portion of the car which makes the Nissan look as stealthy as a SR-71 Blackbird.

To get the kids to school in this stealth bomber, make sure you choose the SR Trim which gives you the blacked out top portion, insane 19-inch rims, Bentley inspired Premium Ascot leather, and an engaging racing-like steering wheel. It is an extra $5,000 when compared to the base trim but is so worth it.

Nissan pulled a brilliant move by literally taking the structure and design of a Bentley interior and plopping it into their Maxima. The Honda Accord's pleather can't even compete with the Maxima's diamond quilted leather seats!

The Maxima SR produces 300 HP and gets 22 MPG in the city and 30 MPG on the highway. It has a sporty suspension and the menacing 19-inch rims add to the sports car feel in the corners. Many reviewers say that they never once thought that the 300 HP wasn't enough.

This Nissan Maxima SR features Bose Audio, navigation, noise cancelling technology for the cabin, and ambient lighting that can be controlled (just like in a Mercedes S550) all as standard. Wow, that Honda Accord Touring barely has anything like this! Plus, the Maxima can handle any real world scenarios like the school run, errands, and even long distance road trips.

From the design to the sportiness, the Nissan Maxima SR is the best practical car for under $40,000. It just gets everything right and has made the big Japanese car manufacturers focus more on design. The Maxima is a game changer. Make sure to share and like and I'll see you guys soon!
