1994 Nissan Maxima GLE review from North America

The factory Bose stereo is terrible. I bought it with 3 blown speakers. They are self-amplified and the head unit provides no power. Therefore, replacing the speakers with anything other than Bose will not work. In addition to the speakers, recently for the last 2 months the head unit has a CD that it will not release or play and it turns itself completely off, whether I'm listening to a cassette or the radio. This is very frustrating and to replace the head unit and 4 speakers with some good quality parts plus labor will run $1000.

After owning it 2 years I have replaced the CV boots, 4 tires, starter, spark plugs, and given it the manufacturer's 60K mile recommended maintenance.

Also, the wood-grain on the dash is only stick on over the black plastic and looks like it got too hot. It is cracking and peeling.

Good car, has 195 factory hp. After installing a K&N air filter it has 200 hp. Mine is an automatic and has plenty of power, more noticeably on the high-end, (passing someone on the highway) A manual anything would likely smoke it off the line. I like the maneuverability, smooth ride, comfortable leather seats, and the moonroof.
