Pros: sporty suspension, mostly reliable, okay mileage Cons: fragile rotors/brakes, not what I wanted to buy The Bottom Line: If buying this used, only do so if the complete service records are available and you've checked them over. I'm recommending this car with reservations.
My first car was a 19
85
Nissan 200SX. My second car was a 1993 Nissan Sentra. My third car (which I had for only three weeks before trading it in on the subject of this review) was a 1999 Nissan Maxima. My fourth car is ...

Pros: Powerful engine, Great interior design, Solid feel, Awesome fit & finish, Quiet ride Cons: Love it or Hate it design, A little pricey, No roadside assistance
FIRST IMPRESSION:
I saw flashes of it in their commercial before they brought it into the Nissan showrooms all across America. It looked sharper on TV than in real life. I was rather disappointed in the design of the rear portion of the...

Pros: Engine, transmission, brake system, quality, performance, value Cons: styling, interior trim material, dealership required for key programming The Bottom Line: Get over the styling and drive one; you will buy it. It feels like $50K grade of mechanicals in a $25-32K car.
I had the opportunity to drive a 2000 Maxima GXE for a few days after having done a few repairs to the car for a friend. The GXE is the base trim but it is well equipped with a power driver’s seat and keyless entry being two of the standout ...

Pros: pickup and handling, roominess Cons: controversial exterior design
(NOTE: the vehicle pictured is a 2000 Maxima SE, not a GXE as stated in the caption.)
When it was time to get rid of our 10-year old Mustang GT, we wanted a 4-door car that was as fun to drive, but more reliable. Although the...

Pros: Safe, smooth, luxurious Cons: None
I just a 2000 Nissan Maxima SE yesterday after much research
and anticipation. I knew the Maxima was THE ONE before
I ever even drove it. Who can resist the 222-horsepower
V6 engine and it's sleek design? The new design is gorgeous ...

Pros: Price/Value, Fun and Useful, Styling, Bose Sound System Cons: Minor interior complaints
The Nissan Maxima has it's work cut out for it. It is competing in a very crowded category, Camry, Accord and Taurus are just a few that come to mind. The Maxima is different. The first clue is it's styling. The Maxima looks different, especially when...

Maxima 2000
I arrived at the National Emerald Aisle lot in New Orleans and eyed the typical selection of minivans, Intrigues (a very fine automobile, incidentally), Buicks, and Chevys. Decisions, decisions...I had my eye on a Grand...

Pros: Powerful Engine, Roomy Interior Cons: A little pricey. Cheap Plastics in certain areas.
I recently leased a new Nissan Maxima 2000 GLE and to say that I'm pleased with the car is an understatement. The Maxima is a 'near-luxury' car which continues to take my breath away with each passing day.
The extremely powerful 222...

Pros: Powerful new engine, luxury interior, smart safety features Cons: Synthetic steering
In purchasing my first new car, I did about as much research and weighed about as many options as were possible in buying a car. It is safe to say that I was confident in my decision to purchase the 2000 Nissan Maxima GLE and that I haven't lamented the...

Pros: Value, real good mix of sportiness and luxury Cons: sytling (esp. in light colors) to some, can't get TC with 5spd
In today's auto market, at least in the USA, what other car out there offers very good performance (acc/handling/braking), with so many amneties, spaciousness with 4 doors and a large trunk, offers a stick shift option, and costs well under $30k?...

Pros: Roomy, quiet, comfortable, good cup holders Cons: Requires premium gas
This car is indeed a "super" car. When it came time to trade in my husband's Infiniti G-20 lease, I have to admit I was hesitant about getting the Maxima. Not as cultured and stylish as the Infiniti G-20, the Maxima had a streamlined, more...

Pros: Spacious interior, powerful engine and suspension meant for performance. Cons: Ugly trunk design.
Sitting and enjoying the view in a Maxima is not that interesting as far as adventurious experiences go, but it did teach me one thing or two about the car. First of all, this vehicle screams luxury. Comfortable leather seats, and an amazingly spacious...

Pros: Provides optimal speed at a low cost. Cons: Not recommended for racing or car shows.
The new 2000 Maxima combines power and performance in a snug sedan. Nissan produced its best sedan with the release of the Maxima. At around 30k with all the options the Maxima provides affordability, performance, luxury, and looks. The Maxima produces...

Pros: price, ride, power Cons: uses premium gas The Bottom Line: Still smooth as silk - no rattles or noises. It starts, runs and gets me there better than any car
>>>>ONE YEAR UPDATE - JANUARY 2001<<<<
Well, after one year and 18,000 miles, other than what I noted below I haven't seen the dealer as I've had ZERO problems. My only maintenance is an oil change every 3,000...

Pros: Power, styling, cost. Cons: Quality, dealer service The Bottom Line: This edition of the maxima is not living up to its name.
I have always wanted a Maxima ever since I got my license. So as soon as I could I bought a new one. I thought it was going to be a great experience. It has been everything but that. Let me list all of the things that have gone wrong with the car and...
