During the 8 years I have owned since new, I have put new brakes once, new tires twice, one new radiator at 150000 miles and now the struts need replacing. If this were a ford focus or whatever it would now be around in this good a condition. Also my actual miles per gallon is city 21 highway 27
Love the maxima!

I am on my 2nd maxima, having had a 1998 model for 3 years, I moved to the 20th anniversary SE model. I've never had a problem mechanically with the car. The car has been reliable through two winters. Dealer service has been top notch. The 2001 SE model is quick and agile. It's roomy (fits my 6'3, 240lbs) and comfortable. The trunk is spacious. The leather seats are very comfortable. The audio system sounds great. The car feels safe and powerful on the road, even at speed. If I were to pick one thing to complain about it's that the moon roof was not optional in the SE trim line and that means a loss of an inch or two of head room - something that matters for me.
The top of Nissan and feels like it.

I bought this car new in 2001 due to it's great handling and performance. Unfortunately, I had no way of knowing how cheap Nissan had gone on the parts. O2 sensors, mass airflow sensors, busted muffler, warped door to the gas tank, electrical system issues...I can go on and on. My advice is to stay away!
To the max

I work within the car industry and drive a great deal of cars from various makes and models ranging from all prices. For the price this car blows away all competition.
