1992 Nissan Maxima GXE review from North America
"Quite Performance with a Luxurious Look"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Over the previous four years the following items had to be replaced or serviced.
Fuel Injectors had to be replaced at 220K.
Exhaust Manifolds were rebuilt.
Alternator and Batter Replaced.
Heater Blower module replaced.
Several minor electrical problems (ie. No display on Climate Control, Power Locks don't work, power antenna does not move, etc..)
General comments?
I have driven the Nissan Maxima for the last 4 years and I have had little or no major mechanical problems. It is a fun and spacious car to drive. I would dare to suggest that the Maxima has probably one of the best V6 engines on the market and this car is no exception. Fast and moderately torqued, gives a nice blend of sport and comfort. However the electrical system for minor components are quite fickle and the exterior body is prone to rusting.
