1991 Nissan Maxima SE 3.0 V6 from North America
Summary:
A really nice sporty sedan
Faults:
An injector failed in 2001, and I'm currently replacing two more.
The oxygen sensor went bad.
Had problems with power windows and door locks - ~$150 each time. Ugh.
One of the Bose speakers never worked; stereo has noticeable static noise.
The clock works intermittently - I don't see any pattern to its behavior.
Antenna wouldn't go in all the way - had to lubricate it myself.
General Comments:
Although I did have some problems with it, I can't complain - it's still a very reliable car. Small things may not work, but it won't let you down. The bad thing is that the small things aren't that cheap to fix.
It's fun to drive - manual transmission with a 3.0 liter engine is NICE.
Lots of room - both in the front and in the back. Overall, the interior is quite comfortable.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I own a 1991 Maxima, with auto trans. It has been nothing short of excellent. It has 311,788 KM's and is still going strong. I have only had one problem with it since owning. A small fuel line was leaking, when temp. dipped below zero. Dealership said the line was brittle at sub zero temp. Due to the age and mileage of car. The problem with the fuel line, had to be fixed by dealer as it required disasembly of almost the whole upper half of engine. It was frustrating, because I could see the line that had to be replaced, but could not reach it. The part was $4.00 dollars and the labor 3.5 hours. (Do the math) I change the oil faithfully every 5000k's.
