2000 Nissan Maxima SE review from North America
"Get in, buckle up, grab the wheel hit the gas and get ready to smile!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've owned the car for four months and have had no mechanical problems with it. The tires were due for replacement and I was unhappy with the performance of the original equipment (Bridgestone Potenza) tires so I went with Michelin Pilots and because it was at 50k miles I had a four wheel alignment done. This took the overall performance level of the car from great to unbelievable!
General comments?
I noticed that there were a lot of Maximas on the road so as I was looking for a new car I did some research on them, specifically the SE, and found that in terms of performance per dollar it is one of the best values on the road. When you factor in the quality and reliability that comes in owning a Nissan it's a very difficult car to find a problem with! If I had to make a criticism it would be the fairly high cost of parts and service because of the high performance nature of the car.
