1996 Nissan Maxima LS review from Mexico
"Worth having, but mechanics can easily mess it up"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Several oil leaks required an engine-out job.
The horns are worn out.
The power steering pump required repair.
The Bose stereo display is faulty.
General comments?
This is, overall, the most satisfying car to drive of a long string of cars I've owned. It is deceptively fast, handles reasonably well and can easily be improved to handle better. The stereo system is excellent except for the (typical) display panel fault. All the luxury items were in good order on the car when I bought it.
