1992 Nissan Maxima GXE review from North America

OK, first of all; This car isn't perfect but is still a pretty good for a 15 year old car.

Nothing here to brag about... I bought the car at 125k for 5000$, runs super smooth and the V6 has a really nice sound! Starts up on the first try, even in -40 degree weather!

Rather good performance (165 hp, 182 torque), and its surprised more than one wannabe street racer with their supposed sports car, and even some luxury car owners too...

Reliability now: nothing to say about it, got 4 chucks and a coil changed, brakes front and rear, and ignition wires; that's all. Pretty sweet cause everything was still stock on the vehicle, so all told the parts lasted like 10 years!

So I really like the car, cool vintage look, super comfortable and spacey...

Reliability now: nice but not GREAT!

Performance : I was a bit disappointed with the GXE version, but no SE was available, nor manual trans either, so again not GREAT, but pretty good.

Fuel economy... humf... not BAD, but not good either. Getting this Maxima running on the "power" ac function cost a lot, but on "normal" or even on "comfort" it's still just near good...

So in conclusion: a nice car to get. A bit old but reliable, sporty for a sedan, good looks, not too bad fuel economy, and parts ain't too pricey either.

So my personal review: I still own the car, now at 151k running smooth, burns oil a bit fast, but not badly, paid 5k for it, cost 1.5k in repairs, nothing on the market is as good as my Maxima for 6.5k$ HELL NO (personal opinion)...

Next project is a Skyline :D And getting the Maxima into a winter beater!
