2004 Nissan Maxima SE review from North America
"This is truly a great car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
- Replaced front struts at 70,xxx
- I can't figure out a rattle up front.
That's it from 48,000 to 90,000 miles.
General comments?
It is a late model 04, so I don't experience a lot of the common problems of the cars built in 03.
So far, I have put a lot of highway miles on it, and it is a great cruiser. Engine is still smooth.
I've driven many BMW's, Audi, Lexus, and the Maxima is truly on par with the majority of them when it comes to everyday driving.
