Nissan is Good

2002 Nissan Maxima SE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6M)

The only car I drove that outperformed the Maxima was a 540 6-spd, but it was two years old, had over 30k miles, and was priced about $10k more than the Max I purchased. No other car priced under $35k can match the Maxima's blend of performance, quality, and content. My only major complaint is the paint quality - the car is five months old and has almost a dozen paint chips on the front bumper. Great car - loads of passenger space, good looking, fantastic engine and transmission.

This is the most fun I had to drive a car. It's very powerful with lot of horses and it's got all the comfort of a luxury car...

Best car in it's class

This is really a very good car. I've been driving Maximas since 1995. It's the best car in it's class(Honda Accord, Toyota Camry etc). Has the best V6 engine, very powerfull and very vell balanced. Previous year (2001) was not thet good: very unbalanced (very poor brakes for the power like that-215 hp). But this year -- excellent. Cars like it -- 0 (V6, 255 HP and the funny part -- only $24000 with the sunroof and everything power). ENJOY!!!

I absolutely LOVE this car! We got the SE with cloth interior and a sunroof. It is a fun car to drive and I'm the idiot driving around smiling all the time! The powerful engine is magnificent and it handles really well. This is my first NEW car and first time Maxima owner. I don't think I will ever get another type of vehicle again!

Worth the wait

I have wanted a Nissan Maxima since I was 22, and I am now 27 and finally can afford to own one, and all I can say is it's worth the wait! I love to drive it, I've only had it for a week, and already have 500 miles on it. The power s enough to keep me interested, and I have a 12 second Mustang. The tranny is great, and it is ohh sooo smooth on the hi-way.
