Pros: Strong engine, solid build, great interior layout, nice style, FWD, and Reliable!
Cons: hard to work on, center thing between seats isnt bolted down good, plastic guarding underneath.
The Bottom Line: Looking at one or compairing to a similer car? choose the maxima, its just that good.
I never stopped loving my GLE maxima, it has great acceleration and handles well for its type of car. The layout of everything inside is just where you would want it to be. I got my maxima with 123,000 miles on it and it runs perfect. Everything ... read more

Leather Seats(optional) very comfortable.Roomy interior.Comfortable ride for long drives.

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Roomy, dead reliable, luxurious, quick, safe, economical
Cons: Stock CD player issues
The Bottom Line: ***While it's pretty hard to go wrong with a Maxima, always have any used car examined thoroughly by a mechanic before you purchase it.***
When you think 'sports car,' I'll bet the first thing that comes to your mind is a red Corvette with a girl in a frilly bikini standing beside it. Or maybe you envision a BMW M6 speeding along a winding mountain road in some foreign country, drifting ... read more

Pros: EVERYTHING from the engine to the trunk
Cons: Handling could have used a little more work
The Bottom Line: I would recommend the Maxima to anybody because it is affordable, fast, RELIABLE, comfortable and luxurious.
The maxima is a genuine automobile. The 1999 maxima includes some great features that the over 4th generation maximas don't have including the ambient air temperature feature and various other goodies. This was my first car and I have to say I love just ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: As good as the salesman said it was!
Cons: tough to get 5 speed. Informed they were "as rare as chicken with teeth"
The Bottom Line: Well worth the price that I paid for it, $24,000. At that price the competition cannot compete. Loaded with extras at $29,000. it may be another story.
A solid, reliable, well made car. The engine is as smooth as everyone said it was, plenty peppy even though the 2000 model saw an extra 30+ horsepower. The automatic transmission with overdrive works well but I really wanted a five speed which I was ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Engine, Interior, Everything works, Value
Cons: Front seats could be more comfortable
The Bottom Line: A great alternative to an entry level BMW, Mercedes-Benz, or other car in the same class that cost much more. This is a great, reliable, well priced car!
My dad had a 1990 Pontiac 6000LE. There was a spring poking into my dad's butt so he had to put a pillow on the seat, the car was rusting, there was loads of paint that got peeled off, and the heater didn't work very well. So needless to say, he decided ... read more

The Bottom Line: Definitely a car to consider if you are looking for a sporty yet comfortable and reliable sedan
I recently had the chance to drive a 1999 Nissan Maxima for a few days. I needed a rental car because my own car was in the shop. I almost rented something less expensive but I'm glad I didn't because I really enjoyed the Maxima.

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Engine, Handling, Comfort, Styling, and Reliability. Fun to drive and easy to accessorize/modify.
Cons: none
The Bottom Line: The Maxima is a smart decision for anyone looking for a nice ride. It's a great family car yet it's referred to as a 4-door sports car. Deservedly so.
The Nissan Maxima represents the most balanced combination of comfort, performance, styling, and reliability I have ever encountered in an automobile under $20,000. It's as simple as that.
Accord, Camry? Step Aside.

I have had this car for almost 2 years with no problems. I would buy it again. The only thing that is kinda of annoying is the delay in shifting from 1st to second gear if I dont come to a complete stop.
Besides that, everything is great.

I purchased a leftover 1999 Nissan Maxima GXE in 2000. It is the greatest car I have ever owned and also a breath of fresh air after driving a FORD for 5 years prior. Purchasing this car was a breeze also. You see the V6 is standard equipment. So I ... read more

Pros: Smooth engine that loves to rev and never gives you a problem. Excellent value too!
Cons: Exterior styling is either love it or hate it, resale not so good.
The Bottom Line: If you are shopping around for a family sedan, the Maxima beats EVERYTHING in its price range, hands down. Read my lengthy review!
Nissan puts out a fine set of automobiles. Unfortunately, Honda and Toyota have brainwashed Americans into thinking that the Accord and Camry are the best mid-size family sedan. If you are in the market for a mid-size Japanese family sedan, I bet you ... read more
