Pros: acceleration, handling, great looking, extra options Cons: nothing at all
I just recently bought a 1998 Nissan Maxima SE from a Nissan dealer in Little Rock, Arkansas. We actually went to try and find a 2000 SE program car, but they didn’t have any. So, I started looking at the lease cars that had been turned back in after...

Pros: dependable, low maintenance, roomy, comfortable, everything positioned great within reach Cons: no cup holders in the back, only a tape deck-No CD player The Bottom Line: If you can still find this model around it would be a great buy! This car has been wonderful for us!
How we found ourselves with this car: This car was originally my husband's grandpa's car. After he passed away his aunt acquired the car and it ended up being her mother-in-law's car to use until she passed away. We were in the process of getting ...

Pros: Please refer to review body Cons: Please refer to review body The Bottom Line: If you want Honda Accord/Toyota Camry reliability, but also performance, good looks, and a better price, look no further.
Got my 1998 "Superblack" Nissan Maxima SE from a private dealer for $18,900CDN (Roughly $13,800USD). I thought the price was a little steep but more and more the car keeps growing on me. Basically, the 4th generation Maximas, specifically the 1997-98 m ...

Pros: Style, comfort, power, price Cons: Not for very short or very tall drivers The Bottom Line: Nicest loaded import car you can get for under $20,000- these days
Spotting the car:
Hello
When I was reading gjacks's opinion about the 1998 Nissan Maxima, it made me think. Do I really want a BMW for more with less options, rear wheel drive, high maintenance. This however will not change my mind...

Pros: Handles Beautifully Cons: Trunk Popper Problem
The Nissan Maxima is a wonderful car! I am not normally so blunt, but this is my favorite...maybe because it’s the main car I drive. It has so many wonderful qualities, and so few negative ones. If you like the feel and power of a sports car, with...

Pros: price, power, pizazz Cons: a little skimpy on the convenience extras
If you're looking for a car between $20,000-$30,000 that will excite you and that you can rely on, look no further than the Nissan Maxima. You've read all the same old hype about the Honda Accord and the Toyota Camry, but seriously, just compare the...

Pros: Very wonderful car Cons: Price is a little steep
When I became pregnant in 98 my husband and I soon realized that we would have to trade in my little sports car convertible and find something safer with more room. I had always purchased Hondas and was reluctant to try a Nissan. But I have been so...

Pros: fun to drive, comes with many features Cons: doesn't have an outside temperature option
I purchase a Nissan Maxima in 1998 and I still love it. The car was priced at about 22,000 and well worth the money. The Maxima SE was the sport package that came with a sunroof, CD player, power everything and a tail in the back. This is a sleek and...

Pros: engine, ride, standard equipment, value Cons: all options not available on all models
The nissan maxima se is probably the best car on the market for the money. The car even stripped down, which as base the car pretty much comes with all power equipment, has the best engine and ride in the four door sedan for under thirty thousand...

Pros: great engine, great appearance, very few problems Cons: hard to find- people like to purchase them and keep them until the next maxima comes along
I purchased my first Maxima over 20 years ago. After a lifetime of
observing family and friends purchase vehicles that turned out to be
lemons I decided to do my homework,including research on autos by
CONSUMER REPORTS magazine....

Pros: sporty (se model), stylish, performance Cons: rear seats a little cramped
I leased a 1998 Nissan Maxima SE and this is the BEST car I have ever owned (leased). I plan to buy this car at the end of the lease term.
The 1995 to 1999 model Maxima's are basically the same aside from some minor cosmetic changes. They...

Pros: Engine, handling, reliability, and did I mention the Engine Cons: Kinda of a big car, so acts like one
How can you not like the Maxima? With an outstanding engine, lots of
standard features and Nissan dealers giving huge discounts on the cars,
you can pick up a V6 powered Maxima for around $20k and get alot of
standard features. I've had...

Pros: Torque, reliability, Cons: knock sensor, mileage The Bottom Line: GET IT! If you're considering one, get one! I'm PICKY...trust me!
I bought this car with 69000 miles in 2004, very low miles. It's a fun car to drive, much more so than my 1996 Mustang V6. It has very nice low end power, and you can pass easily while on the highway. It's by no means a race car, but has lot of ...

Pros: Powerful, high-quality, never any major mechanical problems Cons: It's not AWD or 4WD, factory speakers pooped out after 7 years The Bottom Line: I highly recommend this car to anyone looking for quality, reliability, and durability.
This car has served me well while living in the South, the Northeast, and along Colorado's Front Range. While I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for regular mountain driving, it's perfect for city or highway driving. I'm the original owner of a ...
