It was great...what happened

This was a great car for the first two years that I owned it. But as the miles have racked up it really hasn't help up like other Nissan's I've had. There are all sorts of nasty sounds that this car makes when accelerating and the transmission just doesn't like to be driven at anything over half throttle or it'll bang around or not shift at all. Lots of pinging. The stereo has broken. The A/C is noisy. Just stuff I wouldn't expect from a Nissan. Yes...I've had it in and out of the dealer and mechanics. They've replaced things...only for them to break again. Definite disappointment. Should have bought a '99.

00 Maxima SE 5 Speed

Having driven a Jeep Grand Cherokee before, I was looking for a car that tracks well, has the same grunt the 5.2 ltr V8 in the Jeep had, and offers me a manual. Not wanting to spend more than $24k, the list became pretty short quickly. I was not disappointed by the engine. How sweet it is! Lots of grunt, lots of revability. I think teh car looks a little weird from the outside, but I don't have to look at it while I am driving. Build quality and reliability have been excellent, and I am getting about 24 mpg in mixed, somewhat aggressive driving. The tires are almost shot after only 22,000 miles

Fits like a Glove

The size is perfect for me at 5'2". There are no blind spots. I can take passsengers in the back seat without having to worry about their comfort. The best thing about this car, however, is its power. It's wonderful to pull on to the highway without worries - I used to drive a Cavalier. When my lease was up this month, I couldn't bring myself to turn it in - I bought it.

MAXIMA IS TAKING ME FOR A RIDE

ALTHOUGH THIS CAR HAS BEEN FUN TO DRIVE, IT IS STARTING TO BE A NIGHTMARE FOR REPAIRS, BUYERS BEWARE!!!! I BOUGHT THIS NEW AND AT 25,500 MILES THE COILS HAD TO BE REPLACED, WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.OK, NOW, AT 41000K THEY HAVE TO BE REPLACED AGAIN AT A WHOPPING $780.00. I AM CURRENTLY TALKING TO NISSAN, BUT SAID MAYBE THE NEXT TIME THEY GO THEY WILL FOOT THE BILL FOR THE COST OF THE COILS (80.00 EACH).NOT LABOR. I WILL GET RID THE CAR AS SOON AS I CAN!!!!! HEADS UP PEOPLE, THIS CAR HAD FLAWS AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS IS HAPPENING TO!! IT'S NOT THAT FUN TO DRIVE.
