1997 Nissan Maxima SE review from North America
"Nissan is the Best!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 222,000 miles car needed front struts, cv boots, and clutch. During a check up at 224,000 Nissan says car has 2 very minor oil leaks, and needs an O2 sensor (which explains SES light).
General comments?
Love it. It is so reliable and durable. This car runs just as good as my 2003 Infiniti I35. I drive it daily from Southern VA to Northern VA and car runs like a dream. Its still comfortable and the Bose sound better than my Infiniti. Plan to keep for another 100k or miles.
