The '00 Max SE is a great car 'til 42K miles. The SES light came on w/stuttering effect. Dealer diag($100)& suggest:replace not 1 but ALL 6 ignition coils.Why not just 1? Nissan Tech(Vince Peterson): we can't pinpoint the specific coil. So we had all 6 coils replaced. Once done, Nissan called to say that coil #1 was it.Folks, don't get ripped-off by Nissan service. They can diagnose the problem to the specific coil.Also the service mgr. mentioned that Nissan Co. recommends changing all 6 ignition coils for this problem for '00 Maximas.I think this only points to poor quality product(ignition coil) that Nissan isn't admitting and doing nothing about.
great car

Great car, acceleration from a stop is more than adequate, from a roll is excellent. The engine's refinement is amazing, you can't hear or feel the engine at idle at all. Even when flooring it there is no vibration. I now have an intake on it so I can definetly hear a growl! Spacious, comfortable, powerful, refined, reliable, fun to drive, good looking. What else is there to like?

Have had this car for about 2.5 years now, and have been a very happy customer. bought it with 70k, now at 103k. so far, have replaced tires, exhaust rear section, complete rear brake assembly, MAF sensor, plugs. need to have my a/c recharged soon. they say you'll spend about $1000/yr on maintenance of any used car, which is pretty typical. so far, the car has been VERY reliable. it's a stylish people mover, but able to romp with the big boys of GM or Ford (similar domestic sedans don't come close to the maxima power-to-weight ratio). on cold days, she hesitates while accelerating for about a minute. they say i have a small gasket leak somewhere. i get a lot of compliments. good mpg
Reliable Car

I've had this Maxima for almost ten years and have replaced the MAF, an O2 sensor, front axle, and three out of six ignition coils. The coils are easy to replace on your own (especially coils 2, 4, and 6) Anything that's ever broken on it didn't leave me stranded on the road! Overall, this is the most reliable car I've ever owned. It's still quiet as a mouse and rides great. It still gets terrific gas mileage and I run it on 89 octane.

I'm at 151k miles on this 2000 SE model and still love this car. Great speed, comfort, and looks. I just recently encountered the coils issue that will need repair but otherwise it's been a GREAT car. At 6'4" tall, I've had plenty of leg room and good back support on long rides. I don't recommend Z-rating tires on the car though as you can wear them out quickly and at $250 a tire to replace, regular tires will do the trick for this speed and handling.
