Used 2000 Nissan Maxima Consumer Reviews

Great car which I enjoy driving every day over the past four years
Bang for our buck
I always knew this car was a performer. I have only owned domestic vehicles my whole life because I knew how to work on them with ease. I decided to make a change and try out a foreign vehicle. The Maxima was my first choice. I have not regretted buying this car and have enjoyed everyday commuting in it. It is comfortable with leather seats, fun to drive with a 222 hp engine and sport suspension, and classy enough to drive into any yuppified area of town. This car is a vehicle of all traits and will prove it upon any dare presented. If you need a car that does it all with a budget in mind, this one is for you.
I'll miss my Max....
I can't keep a car longer than 3 years, but my Maxima is a fabulous car and I want to keep driving it! I was impressed with the sporty handling. The trunk space is great, the legroom in the back fabulous and engine, once it's in the powerband, pulls nicely. I do wish it had more torque at the low end..... The tailights are ugly. Wish the doors would automatically lock, when the vehicle starts moving. I was hit and put into a spin at 60 MPH. All I could think, was 1) I'm going to die 2) Wow, this thing's even smooth in a spin 3) "Enjoy the ride!" Best car I've ever owned in 25 years of driving...
New to Nissan
Traded a '96 Olds 88. Of course the Olds was slower and uglier, but more comfortable. The power is surprising and the car is fun to drive. It rides a little hard but handles well, especially braking. The seats could be more comfortable, but are much much better than the Mazda I tried. Nice profile, especially with optional rims. Original tires done at 37,000.
Love the maxima
After driving a Grand Am for 5 years I decided to break down and buy a new car. I can really say I love the Maxima, it has plenty of power for an automatic transmission driven sedan and despite a few minor problems with paint, it has been extremely reliable for me.
