2002 Nissan Maxima Anniversary edition review from North America
"This car will rock your socks off on your way to fifth avenue"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
-Leather seat (driver side) ripped
-Daytime running lights don't work
-headlights and interior lights flicker.
General comments?
I really like this car overall - it has excellent power and looks great inside and out. I have never driven a car with an engine so smooth and powerful at the same time. However it does have some problems that I wouldn't expect from this caliber of automobile.
The wiring is a serious problem that I think will cost me big $$ pretty soon.
The drivers side power window is extremely underpowered and barely opens or closes when it is below freezing outside. The leather seat (drivers side) recently began to tear (I saw a few others with this problem when I was car shopping so it must be a quality issue)
