1992 Nissan Maxima SE review from North America
"Quick, stylish, and reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission went after having it for a month, that was my fault though.
Clock never really worked.
Auto Climate control light was dim sometimes.
Blower Motor.
Wheel bearing.
ABS light was always on, but that didn't matter to me.
Daytime lights, and High-beams would switch to only one light at times whenever it wanted.
The worst thing was the door-lock alarm sensor in the driver's door. Key would often times not de-activate the factory alarm and I would have to run to the trunk or passenger door and unlock with the key to shut the alarm off.
VTC tick.
Exhaust manifold stud broke.
2 Window regulators.
Fuel Pump.
General comments?
This car is a true performance machine. The rare VE30DE is an amazing power plant, and even hooked up to an automatic transmission, it was still super quick.
The car is a great combination of sport an luxury and I recommend it to anyone looking for just that.
Every penny I put into it was definitely worth it, and I plan on buying another one. It will not let you down.
