1992 Nissan Maxima SE review from North America

Muffler had to be replaced due to rusting out and falling off.

Driver's Rear Window failed to operate due to regulator mechanism getting jammed.

Bose rear speakers + amps failed.

Have experienced the slight hesitation problems intermittently, but that went away by using Premium gas and fuel injector cleaner.

The rear spoiler is loose and will need to be repaired or replaced soon.

This car is an absolute dream to drive! It is seriously quick and handles like a dream.

The responsiveness of the engine and the quality of the ride rival that of cars 10 years younger.

I love this car! The Nissan slogan of a 4 Door Sports Car is as advertised.

The car is also generally easy to work on (besides the VTC solenoids) and the SE model never needs a timing belt change because it has a timing chain!

Parts aren't that hard to come by if you use the internet and Autozone or Pepboys.

This is without a doubt the best version of the Maxima that Nissan ever made. I would however recommend that anyone who purchases a car of this vintage ('90-'94) should be mechanically inclined due to the maintenance that the car will require. I fully expect this car to reach 200,000 miles, this car was honestly engineered to do that.

My only complaint is that the seats aren't really that comfortable and that the gas mileage isn't that good (this car guzzles it).
