Used 2000 Nissan Maxima Consumer Reviews
My Max...
I never planed on buying a Maxima...Ive always had Grand Cherokees....but once i test drove a Maxima...I was hooked! Overall, my Maxima has been the most reliable car I've ever owned, and is also the most fun to drive! Superb acceleration, & braking, and decent gas mileage. I just miss that high driving position of an SUV....perhaps I should check out the Nissan Murano next year...
Superb aside from hot start
Supremely comfortable and powerful car. Brilliant interior design features. Quiet on the road. Factory fault is loss of one cylinder intermittently on hot start - before buying one make sure you hot start it ten times and drive a short distance each time. The cylinder loss is shown by engine vibration especially up hills or on throttle. It can last up to 30 minutes and is the ONLY fault I have had in 120,000 miles.
Good but not perfect
I bought my Nissan Maxima GLE in 2006 it had 94k. Overall the car is great but it does have some problems. So far I had to replace my starter (which is to be expected), the O2 sensor, had trouble with throttle control motor relay and power windows control switch. The car does not perform as well during cold season. It takes a long time to warm up, engine throttle and transmision do not respond as fast, power windows are slow during cold weather. Rides pretty good but the trunk ratells while driving. Gas mileage could be better.
My new(used) 2000 Maxima SE
My experiebce thus far has been exceptional. I have only had it for a week and already everybody loves it. This is the most fun-to-drive car I have ever known or owned!!
Favorite Ride ever.
I have fallen in love with this car. This is the first car i have owned that i can realistically see myself with 5-7 years down the road, and even longer. I am a tall guy, 6'5 and this car offers me TONS of leg room. Im not a big fan of the Bose, so i replaced that with a juicy 800 watt system, the paint is a little thin, but the engine, the beautiful SE gauge cluster and the Auto Up/down mirror makes this car awesome.
