Fantastic All Around!
I love this car! Not only does it have four doors, but it drives like a sports car!
Fantastic car, I will miss it!
Bought this car in 1997 with 24K miles on it. Had it for 12 years! Drove it to 275K until the tranny finally went out. Best car I have ever owned. Would recommend a Maxima to anyone. I am currently looking for a newer model that hopefully I will get another 10 years out of. No major problems, just regular maintenance. Fun to drive, looked great, still had umph at 15 years old! Performed better than I do! However, the rust issue was a lot to deal with. Luckily, Nissan fixed this issue in 1997 with new runners. We are sad to see it go to the junk yard, we will miss it!
300,000+ And still going........
I purchased this car used in '97 with approximately 70,000 miles on and have have since surpassed the 300,000 miles mark with no major mechanical failures. Other than replacing the battery once I can't account for any other maintenance expenses other than timing belts and brakes. The car still runs like new, doesn't burn any oil and gets nearly 30 mpg!! I haven't driven the new maxima's yet, but given my experience with this vehicle I would highly recommend a Nissan Maxima to anyone.
OK Car
Owned car for over 6 yrs. Had a multitude of problems: brakes (rear wheel cylinder replaced 2x!), manifold (replaced 2x!), transmission (rebuilt @ 177k), constant shimmy at 65 (even after new tires, wheels and struts), window regulator, stereo display doesn't display and keeps shutting off/on at will. Overall, the car has been relatively reliable. Left me stranded twice (once was my fault - needed a tune up at 108k). Total cost of car per mile @ $.25 including gas, maintenance and insurance. NOT TO SHABBY.
One Owner Car
The 114,000 miles are all mine except for 1,200 the dealer put on it. It has been garaged nightly and has been serviced every 4,000 to 4,500 miles. The 30,000, 60,000 and 90,000 services were all performed on schedule. Every year in the Fall - after washing, a paint protection by Nissan has been applied and the surface remains like new. We were retired adults when we bought the car - the interior is undamaged in any way.
