1998 Nissan Maxima S review from Australia and New Zealand
"I don't think it is a very good car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
On the way home from the dealership the bonnet flew up I think 3 times of which I had to stop to put back down. After a week of this happening continuosly I ended up screwing it down to the car. The seatbelt broke within 1 month and I now after having it repaired several times just decided to knot it before going out. I've replaced the tires a lot and it has cost me a lot of money. The fuel tank runs out very quickly and almost each time I go out I need to fill it up. Apart from that I was very happy with the car.
General comments?
Very expensive to run and I wouldn't buy another Nissan ever.
