2003 Nissan Maxima SE review from North America
"Love the car, surprised by maintenance issues"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Skyview roof had to be replaced under warranty.
Rear speakers had to be reinstalled to eliminate rattles.
Front grille chrome delaminated, was replaced and needs to be replaced again.
Fuel economy sensor stopped.
Shimmy in steering at higher speeds.
General comments?
This is a fantastic car that has great power and is a really comfortable cruiser and at a 10K discount from an A4.
The only complaints I have are a surprising number of warranty issues and a ton of torque steer with the manual tranny (with some aggressive driving).
Good car in winter and even better with a set of Pirelli winter tires.
