2001 Nissan Maxima SE review from North America
"Well built-sports sedan"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing at all.
General comments?
I recently bought a 2001 maxima after searching around for a good sized V6. I chose the maxima because of it's roomy interior and well-built engine. I also test-drove a mazda millenia S, and a V6 honda accord. I went with the maxima because it has more standard Hp, and it handles beautifully.
My model Maxima is equipped with leather seats, bose audio, and 17 inch wheels. I have never felt uncomfortable, nor have I ever felt my car slip as the wheels grip the ground very well. And the bose audio is simply heaven to a music lover like myself.
The only possible problem that I have heard about the maxima is that the transmission is a little suspect. I myself have never known a person to have any problems, and my friend has owned one for years and never had a problem with his.
I recommend this car to anyone who is looking for a well-made V6 sporty sedan, which also performs like a larger engined car.
