Owning this car has been a generally satisfying experience. I am VERY impressed with my dealer's response to warranty situations. Things to fix iclude: Fix SLIPPERY steering wheel on GLE model ... dangerous!!! Needs more comfortable driver's seat with more secure hip gripping ... tendency to slide around on turns with leather upholstery. Less jouncy suspension option.

Had this car for two months now (2000 miles). Replaced a 1998 Honda Accord EX- V6 Coupe with this car. I am very satisfied with the ride even though is is not as smooth as the Accord Coupe was at high speeds (+70MPH). The clutch motion and engine are extremely smooth. The 6-disc sound system is par at best. The rear deck subwoofer sounds muddy and can only handle half the power without distorting. Wind noise at moderate speeds is noticable but bearable. In short, the Maxima has the ergonomics and all of the comforts that an average commuter is looking for; not exactly a Lexus, but the performance and lower price make this car a great buy.

The GLE Maxima is a well built 4 door sedan. After owning a 99 Maxima and now a 2002 Maxima I'm still concerned that the bose spearkers are to powerful for the doors. There seems to be some vibration coming from the door panels. Also, I was a bit disappointed to see that my Maxima is averaging around 19.7 miles per gallon. Considering the day we live in, this is lousy MPG performance.
Best bang for the buck

I went to town to buy either an Accord or Camry, but ended up coming home with a Nissan Maxima SE. I've had a '97 & '99 Accord, so I know they're good cars. I took a '02 Camry SE for a 10 mile test drive and liked the ride, but wanted to try the Maxima too. It's a great car, lots of power, and very comfortable. The things I don't like are the taillight design and not having the steering wheel controls (cruise, stereo, etc) illuminated at night. I really like the intense headlights and the stereo system. The moonroof and rear spoiler are nice too. For all I got on the Maxima SE, I would have only gotten a 4-cylinder Honda or Toyota.
