1995 Nissan Maxima SE review from North America
"Nissan No. 1, Some great cars, Very reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I all honesty other than regular maintenance (clutch at 169,000miles, water pump at 140,000), all I do to this car is put gas and change the oil.
General comments?
Well FYI Honda does not make a car to compete with the Maxima and the Avalon which are in the same class. The Altima is a non-compromising competitor to the Camry and the Accord, and Nissan did a great job at that. Yes previous models of the Altima were comparatively smaller and it was hard to tell if they were a competitor to the Corolla and Civic or the Camry and the Accord. Well this part of the story has now been settled.
I own a 1995 Max SE 5 spd... that joker is BAD, even without any upgrades. THAT JOKER IS BAD (PERIOD). For the record, the V6 Altima, is the fastest in its class, has one of the best transmissions, best styling and the most value options for the money. Remember the Nissan VQ (V6) engines have been rated the BEST V6 engine for 10 YEARS on a ROW (as of Jan 2004) by Ward's Auto World, No other Auto manufacturer, I mean NONE has this kind of a record. Nissan products in my humble opinion are one of, if not the best out of Japan (Category-wise). MAY GOD BLESS NISSAN. Peace out, enjoy those NISSANs & INFINITIs. The Germans are still viscous though.
