Pros: Excellent cheap reliable car, fun to drive, good for the family. Looks Good too.

The Bottom Line: Buy this car, or a newer Maxima if oyu can afford it, I definetly recommend Nissan.

A four door sedan for under $3000. I needed a car since the tranny on my truck had eventually died. I looked around endlessly for a week. As I drove home I remembered about a small used car dealership, pretty much high mileage/low cost. As I passed the ...

by goldenaxe
May 04 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: SE; Stable, decent power, lots of trick extra engineering.
Cons: It's front wheel drive..
The Bottom Line: Excellent value, in a class above Camry V6 and Accord in 1992. Many trick extras, and phenominal performance.

I had an oppurtunity to buy a 1992 Maxima SE from it's original owner two years ago. It was a black on black leather, 5-Speed, sunroof, air, etc..

The reason why I bought it was because it had a problem with the VTC (Variable Timing Control)....

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Power to Spare, Luxuries Galore, Very Reliable
Cons: Reduced Size Since 95

We purchased a brand-new, fresh off the truck Nissan Maxima in 1992. We had been looking for a Pathfinder, but that year saw mountains of snow, and there were no such animals in stock. The dealer steered us to the Maximas, instead.

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: a zippy V6 3.0L, safe, comfortable, durable
Cons: the air bag thing...keep reading

Back in the year 1992, my mom and dad thought that it was about time to get a new car to replace our 1988 Pontiac 6000LE (which, by the way - ate 3 - that's right THREE transmissions), and alas one morning they came home with the 92' Nissan Maxima, much...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Sporty, fun, roomy
Cons: VTCs rattling, auto seat belts
The Bottom Line: I have owned about a dozen cars and this model is probably my favorite.

Pros: Power, Performance, Comfort, Reliability, overall value

Nissan Maximas will always have a place in my heart, because I learned to drive on one. Yes, some call me spoiled, but hey, I liked it. :)
Anyways, my dad had a 92 Maxima. He was continually trying to tell me to watch my speed, because I would...

Pros: reliablity, handling, V-6 engine, overall quality of finish
Cons: brakes

In getting my first car..I can proudly say I made a good decision. I have a 1992 Nissan Maxima with about 110,000 miles on it. They aren't highway miles, but then again, they really aren't city miles either. This car has been a pleasure to drive, own,...

Pros: Lot of car at a good price
Cons: Can't think of any.

Pros: good engine, have had no problems
Cons: can't think of any cons

Ever since I learned to drive, I only wanted the best car for my own. Of coarse my first car wasn't that but my second was the smartest buy I've ever made. It was of coarse the 1992 Nissan Maxima. I bought it used and I've had for about two years now and...

This car is the best car I could hope for! After purchasing mine for 200 dollars with engine problems, I fixed it up and it runs smooth like butter. I was glad for this opportunity, and I got to know my car a lot better. Here's some helpful items ...

Sep 28 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Pretty much everything, handling, looks, power, comfort. Its all here.
Cons: One of the cup holders is to small. Seriously that's all I can think of.
The Bottom Line: I whole heartily recommend this car to anyone. Although I've only driven about 8 different cars, this one has provided the smoothest and most enjoyable ride.

Let¡¯s go back to about a year ago. I had just received my drivers permit and was excited to start driving. My dad let me choose what car I wanted to learn to drive in. A 1984 Mercedes Benz or a 1992 Nissan Maxima. It didn't take me long to decide but the ...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Build-quality, roominess and comfort, power and fuel economy.
Cons: Squeeky brakes
The Bottom Line: A hidden Japanese jewel in the shadow of Accord and Camry.

I've had my SE since 1996, when I found it buried in the back row of the used car lot of a nearby Nissan dealer. It had 21K but it hadn't been cleaned or reconditioned and looked neglected. They'd been steering me toward an SUV but I had a hunch this...
