1999 Nissan Maxima GLE review from North America
"Bad Choice! Go with Honda or Toyota"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since I've owned the car the rear brakes have been serviced twice. After buying out the lease on the car to own the engine coils had to be replaced. I've put two fuel injections in the car. Currently the car is squeaking and after replacing the front tire rods the car is still squeaking. The dealer cannot resolve the problem. Also the leather interior is rough and hard to clean without damaging it. Gas mileage is excellent except as the car ages the gas mileage gets worse. I will never buy another Maxima because the chances of getting a lemon are too great!
General comments?
Never buy a Maxima. The resale value is poor and the maintenance over time outweighs any luxury car benefits.
