1997 Nissan Maxima GLX review from North America
"I would highly recommend this car to anyone that likes to drive and needs reliable transportation"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None, just general maintenance, ie. belts cv joints.
General comments?
I love this car. It is a pleasure to drive and it is very reliable and fun. It gets great gas mileage and has tons of room both inside and in the trunk.
My only regret is not getting the SE which has a little more sporty look.
My previous car was a VW GTI that I also loved, but I needed a 4 door so I chose the Maxima. I was shocked to get better gas mileage and a ton more room. I give thumbs up to Nissan for this gem.
I would highly recommend this car to anyone that likes to drive and needs reliable transportation.
