1991 Nissan Maxima SE review from North America
"One of the best cars I've ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 126,000 the fuel line started to leak and 3 injectors blew out. Nissan are famous for blowing out fuel injectors, but factor Nissan injectors are still the cheapest believe it or not. the starter decided to stop kicking out at 150,000; thank god for manual transmissions. Paint chips around door trim and alloy rims flake easily. All in all the car has been very low maintenance.
General comments?
It always starts no matter how cold it got in Minnesota; 60 below with no garage or block heater, always click vrrrmmmm.
Fun to drive and handles well.
The passenger seats in the car are comfortable. If your tall there is plenty of room, but it's not designed very well for tall people.
