Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Power, comfortable, fun to drive
Cons: back seat does not fold down
The Bottom Line: Great car. If I didn't need a bigger car, I would keep this one forever.
I needed a different car for my family. We had a 1989 Volvo 740 Turbo. Safe car, built like a tank, but gas mileage and handling like a tank. My Uncle was selling his 1995 Maxima that they had purchased new in 95. It was the base model, so 5 speed ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: good acceleration, reasonable braking, comfortable ride, very spacious, lots of standard options
Cons: starter, slightly mushy cornering, eats air filters, sound system needs work
The Bottom Line: A solidly built car with a touch of performance added in. It's fun to drive and startlingly quick for what it looks to be. Tops the Camry/Accord any day.
The title of this article is set for a reason, that's exactly what the car dealer told me right before I bought this car... and surprised I definately was. Like the review I did on my new car (1997 BMW z3), I'm going to break this down into sections to ... read more

Pros: Responsive engine, comfortable interior, runs well after a decade.
Cons: OD sensors go out and they are expensive, expect to spend $300 on maintenance
The Bottom Line: Love the car and would like to buy another.
5 years ago, after a decade of adolescent dreaming, I test drove a 95' Maxima SE. Today, after half a decade of beloved driving, I am thrilled to Max out daily. Dubbed the G-Ryde(G=Gold), I am still impressed with it's "world class V-6"(picked that up ... read more

Cons: Expensive to fix and a horrible safety record.
The Bottom Line: Premium quality mid-size sedan for a premium price.
The 1995 Nissan Maxima GXE I own is overall a pretty nice car. It's got most of the features I like in a car. Features such as: power windows, locks, and A/C. The Maxima is intended to be a sporty family sedan, so naturally the seats are firmer than ... read more

The Bottom Line: This is my first Nissan and I am sold. The Maxima is a solid, reliable, fun, comfortable car.

The Bottom Line: For reliability, performance and fun at a relatively low cost, Maxima is worth taking a look at.

Fuel Economy

Pros: Bose System, Ride.
Cons: A/C went out.
The Bottom Line: If you want a quiet, smooth ride, get this car.
I owned a 95' Maxima GLE and loved ALMOST everything about it. We have owned the car for 5 years and have NEVER broken down. Little things went out, which is expected after 100K miles. We had to replace the CV Boots, Axle, Serp. Belt, Battery, BOTH O2 ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Acceleration, Bose stereo, comfort, looks
Cons: no cup holders
The Bottom Line: A 95-98 Nissan Maxima is a blast to drive and is very well complemented by the 5-speed manual transmission.
I own a '95 Nissan Maxima with the 5-speed transmission. All 95-98 model year Maximas come with a 190 horsepower (205 ft.lbs. of torque), 24 Valve, Aluminum block V6. This engine has gotten numerous awards for its power, smooth action, and reliability. ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Fast, Furious, Comfortable, Smooth, Reliable, Quiet, Roomy
Cons: Too tall for a sports car ;) swerves a bit when cornered hard
The Bottom Line: This is the car if you get tired of being passed by...and if you want the car going for next 3 years: something you can't say about Mitsubishi/American cars
Being a 21 yr old college kid, reliability and $ meant everything to me. That means: stick with the RELIABLE FOUR--Honda, Toyota, Subaru, Nissan.
Given that Subaru's are not so common, my previous car was 1994 Honda Civic EX, 125 HP VTEC ... read more

The Bottom Line: Great all around vehicle. The engine is quiet and powerful,
the handling and ride are competent with good gas mileage
and a super maintenance record. What else do you want?
I've owned this Maxima for 3 years and 40K miles and I'm still impressed with it. The 3.0 liter/ 190 horse engine is
bulletproof. It's quiet and responsive while getting very
acceptable gas mileage (23/26 MPG). The transmission is smooth as ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: 190 HP
smooth acceleration
feels and looks expensive inside and out
superior handling
Cons: me-too exterior styling; unfortunate rear-end;
standard transmission hard to find
The Bottom Line: The best performing sedan for the money - reliable, sporty and teh insurance rates of a family car w/out the ho-hum drive
The Maxima SE is a great car if you are in the market for a roomy, sporty sedan. I had looked at several cars for around 10,000 - a '98 malibu, a 97' intrepid, and my (previous) dream cars - a '97 wrangler and post '91 300zx. The malibu felt cheap ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Fast, very reliable, great fuel economy, roomy, excellent controls
Cons: no fold-down rear seat, no outside air temperature indicator
The Bottom Line: This is a phenomenal used car bargain. The 5th generation Maxima is very nice, but IMHO not a significant improvement over this 4th generation Maxima.
On August 13th 1994, I took possession of my first new car: a 1995 Nissan Maxima SE. I had it outfitted with every option available, except an automatic transmission and the cold weather package.
Right from the start, I felt I made the right ... read more

95 Nissan Maxima SE, automatic, very good car overall. No extraordinary features, but overall a good all-around car for normal people. The car was bought new, replacing the 91 Maxima SE. The engine has a 30hp increase over the 91 Model, so there was a ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great power, looks good, seems reliable
Cons: So-so shift quality, squealing brakes at start up, a bit rattly
The Bottom Line: As a used car, great! Why buy a cheap new car when you can get a fully equipped, luxurious, fast, reliable used car like this?
I bought this car used from someone at work last year with 78000 km on the clock. It had been backed into by a large truck at some point in it's life and had a very expensive repair bill (no structural damage but new A/C, hood, rad. etc.) which made it ... read more
