My forever love

I bought this car with 165k on it and 10000 later if still runes like a dream and drives better then a lot of new cars out there. Yes I said new. Of course with it being older and me being the third owner of it has its quirks but thisnt as many as you expect and repaires are cheap. Some Ive seen people say its expensive to maintain. You gotta know where to go. Ive had to replace the Iac (idle air control) and the alternater and soon the catalyst converter. But one thing this car is the best at is turning over its hella reliable. When my alternator went I was an hour out where is lived visiting a friend and it got me home safe and sound. The styling isn't for everyone but Im in love with it. the interior of the car is nice done and beautiful quality, the found system rocks awesome after all these years and I have no need to get another since I love Bose products. the acceleration is one thing to be careful cause it could get you into trouble. Luckily never gotten a speeding ticket in my max. Overall is recommend anyone who wants the underdog classic sports sedan.

20th Anniversary Edition Maxima

Brooklynborn, 11/10/2005
2001 Nissan Maxima SE 20th Anniversary 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 5M)

This is my 4th Maxima and I absolutely love this car. I've had it 4 and a half years now. The car rides smooth and quiet. It has a strong 227 Hp engine, the same one found in the 2001 Infinity I30. 4900 miles on it and still performs like new. No problems to report. All I've done to this car is replaced the tires when needed. The reliability of this car is excellent. This is exactly why I buy Maximas and nothing else, it's the best car for the money. I'm about to buy a 2006 Maxima. I've received many great offers on my car to sell.

Since I bought the car off lease have had a series of problems. Catalytic converter went bad, Abs sensor went bad, exhaust pipe went bad, CV joints had to be replaced. Had to invest too much money fixing the car. Will never buy a Nissan product again. Their cars have a nice look but are not reliable.

I've been driving my 20th a.e. maxima for more than two years now and i still feel like racing everytime i'm in the driver seat. It definitely is a four door sports cars as Nissan claims.
