1990 Nissan Maxima GXE review from North America
"A great, inexpensive used car!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
2 power window regulators (notorious)
Exhaust flex pipe.
CV axle.
Odometer/Trip-meter servomotor (from donor cluster)
Radio speakers in front (bad foam surrounds)
Had to re-solder power resistor on clock module due to heat breaking solder joint.
General comments?
This car is a blast to drive! It is peppy off the line and handles well.
It rides like a bigger car than it is and is very smooth with the V6 and auto transmission. Delayed shifting with the "power mode" is nice!
28.5 MPG Highway mileage.
The interior is comfortable and roomy and the visibility is very nice.
I do not like the automatic seat belts or the lack of a cup holder.
