2002 Nissan Maxima GLE review from North America
"The best car I ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Paint chipped on front of hood.
Tires are expensive to replace on the GLE with 17 inch tires.
Had to replace battery. (Not a fault of Nissan)
General comments?
I recently totaled my GLE with 91000 plus miles but I had to pay homage to one the best vehicles I have ever owned. I had planned to drive this car well beyond 250,000 miles. During the time that I had the car it never left me stranded and I never had a major repair.
The car is fun to drive. It is appointed with many "luxury" features that make this car a real bargain. It held its value very well.
I am now in the process of looking for another 2002 - 2003 GLE to replace this car.
