Edmunds' Expert Review

What’s new
Wow, what a beauty. The redesigned Maxima bows with an aerodynamic shape and a lengthened wheelbase. The new Maxima is available as a budget-minded GXE, sporty SE or luxurious GLE. All Maximas get the 190-horsepower engine previously exclusive to the SE.

1995 Nissan Maxima SE 4dr Sedan
I purchased this baby last month. I paid $2,000 and has spent about $1,500 on repairs. I've replaced the radiator, drive belts, valve cover gaskets, one fuel injector, two ignition coils, and all six spark plugs. All failed parts were originals. Avoid the dealership for repairs because it's extremely expensive. The car drives and handles like a charm. The body is solid and paint still … shines. It has power and acceleration that throws you back in your seat. The volume control on radio doesn't work, so it gradually gets louder. A cassette tape is also stuck inside. It's a 5-speed. The original clutch was replaced two years ago. Car has 158,000 miles. Good for at least 150,000 more.

1995 Nissan Maxima GXE 4dr Sedan
If you want a car that can beat any
other stock car at any stop light this
is the one for you. It can do it with
the most comfortable interior, five
speed trans(optional) and a 190hp V6
that comes standard. The only
shortcoming of this car towards the
camry and accord is the suspension. Its
a little stiff, but it makes that up in
the turns. This huge thing can take any …
tight corner with ease, and as every
street racer knows stiffer suspension
means more grip in turns. I've driven
the carmy and accord, those boats have
nothing , no power, no acceleration, no
handling, just a luxirious interior
that makes the car seem more than it
really is.
1995 strong after 20 years

1995 Nissan Maxima GLE 4dr Sedan
I had my 95 maxima for 4 years. Bought from a dealer at incrredible 65K miles in prestine condition.
This is my 5th datsun-nissan. Just change oil regularly at 5k.
Need to replace consumables. Other than that, no major repair needed. Spends aboout $300 for repair/maint.
On my previous 94 maxima, I drove about 300K+ odometer stopped at 230K. I drove 4 more years until the tranny gave … up.
Gas mileage is about 20 mpg on city+highway mix.
Best bet for family car.

1995 Nissan Maxima SE 4dr Sedan
This is my first Nissan. I was able to
obtain an 95 SE with a manual
transmission, which took my several
weeks to find (only about 8% of
Maxima's sold have a manual). This car
is fun to drive. Though it's not a
true sports car, it makes a great
family car!! With the manual this car
is fun on two-lane roads. This car has
more interior room than an
Accord/Camry. Plus, … if you get am
Accord/Camry, you're going to spend a
minimum of $1200 to have a sound
anywhere close to what the Bose
delivers. I considered a Camry and
Accord when I was looking, but the Max
fit the bill. It has more room and it
a lot more fun to drive than a Accord
and Camry (put together).
