1994 Nissan Maxima GXE review from North America
"Overall, a great buy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have to say, being as though this was my first car, I wanted everything in it. With the '94 Maxima, that's exactly what I got; power everything, sunroof, leather seats, heated mirrors, auto climate control; you know, the works.
I bought the car with high miles, but with a rebuilt engine. So initially the car had about 285,000+ miles on it. I had to replace the "idle control switch", "power steering hose", and now the "transmission". The display on auto-climate control doesn't work, I guess that isn't too big of a deal. Many people would have had enough once the trans goes. But the car is worth the fix and every little penny. I love my Max.
General comments?
Overall I personally think that the 1994 Nissan Maxima is one of the best models that Nissan has come up with. It has very sharp cornering, as well as quick acceleration.
While on the highway, I found out that the cabin is very quiet no matter what your speed is.
When driving it, I really connect with my car, it becomes a part of me.
