High quality car

This is the second Nissan Maxima I've had in the last 16 years. It's a very good car the problem is I've had to do brake work several times and the handling in the snow is not very good but other than those two items it's a very good car.

Most realiable car I've owned for the price I paid

This car met all my needs. Very good acceleration power, V6 engine and will last till over 200,000 miles. That is what I love about Nissan cars, strong, reliable and very long lasting!

My First Car

This was my first car, so I may be a little biased due to sentiment, but it was a solid car. It had a V6 engine, so it got a decent amount of horsepower. It wasn't Mopar, but it still felt like a muscle car. It had a moonroof, a spoiler, power seats, power locks, a decent amount of trunk space. and it had a sporty look to it. It was fairly reliable and would have been even more if the previous owners had taken better care of it. There is one common defect with the car which is the passenger side power window; sometimes, when you roll the window up, it automatically rolls down to halfway on its own. Another common problem with working with a Nissan is that some of the engineerings under the hood can be hard to reach or repair, e.g., changing the spark plugs and ignition coils.

Great CASH car

Manual transmission. Must see. There's nothing wrong with my car. I'm not able to drive it, due to my age and arthritis in my knee.

Best car I,ve ever owned

This car has every option that was available for that model year. Living in northeast the heated steering wheel and heated leather seats are terrific in this cold weather and the power sunroof is great for summer. Runs and dives excellent.
