The Best Care for The Price Range

Powerful, economical, and reliable. I looked at the Camry, Accord, and Maxima. The first two are very good cars but a little underpowered in my opinion. They also cost more. I feel that the Maxima is the best choice when considering performance and reliability v.s. price.

I have owned my Maxima GXE for 7 years. This is by far the most reliable car I have ever owned. I have never had to have anything major done just normal replacements muffler, tires and brakes. I highly recommend this car to everyone. It's great to drive, comfortable and good on gas. I could go on and on about this car. I will drive it until it falls apart. It drives as if it were brand new and it has 140k miles on it.

Used car best buy

We "traded down" to our 1998 Maxima SE from my wife's dream vechicle- a 4Runner limited so that she could stay home with our child. Originally, she thought it would be a sacrifice, but she has since decided that she likes it more than any car she has ever owned. We looked at several Acuras, Lexuses, etc., but the Maxima offered similar luxury with much better performance. Plus, the car gets 30+ mpg on the highway (at 80mph)! Unbelievable!

I just bought a 98 Maxima SE w/ leather and i must say this car drives like a champion.It's fast, smooth, sharp looking, and can carry a family of 5 rather comfortably. I love everything about it. You can bet that I'll be a Maxima owner for life!!

This car is reliable, quiet, and handles well. A little pricey, but then again you get what you pay for. Love all the options. I've got 'em all. Heated seats, roof, BOSE, leather, etc..
