1994 Nissan Maxima GXE review from North America

When I purchased the car the only thing wrong was the the screen to the stock CD/Tape receiver was blank and never worked and I never got the remote to open the unlock the doors. The Cd player part worked fine idle, but skipped terribly on every bump.

Needed belts changed.

Hose popped off while I was driving downtown and antifreeze splattered everywhere. went to auto parts store found correct hose and fastened it on myself.

Alarm started to go crazy every now and then and would not let me start the car. Had no remote so I always had trouble turning if off. found out it was some electrical prob.

Needed new alternator, got it changed at junk yard with a good one and then still had problems. Took to Sears and found out it was something else that had to be replaced instead, but was only like $30!

Rear window slipped the track, also needed new motor to roll it up/down again.

Slowly the beginning of the end with the transmission going bad. Which forced me to trade in and angrily get a KIA Spectra which I want to get rid of now.

Overall, I very much liked this car. When I started looking in the auto shopper mags. I wanted a car with Leather, sunroof, and power everything and got it call with this car. It was very comfortable and felt roomy inside. Car would have a slight lean on sharp turns. Very nice acceleration and braking. The bose stereo sys. was exactly what I was looking for as well although I hated the fact that the screen didn't work so you had a hard time programming the radio. The CD player pissed me off too. Despite the problems I still loved the car, but when that trans. went that was all she wrote. I couldn't afford paying the car payments and pay to get it fixed (well over 2000 bucks) I think if I paid more attention to it it may have been prevented. Now I'm looking at getting either another Maxima (I know, I'm asking for it huh?) but really want an Acura Legend '92-'95.
