1989 Nissan Maxima GXE review from North America
"A high performance, full-size, luxury bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Muffler switched when I bought the car.
Water pump and timing chain done because of a water pump failure.
Alternator at 222,000 miles
General comments?
This car is incredible. I have generally heard very good things about the 3rd generation (1989-94) Maximas, but this is a testament. I am up to 222,000 miles with no engine problems and the car rides and performs with perfection.
This car is VERY FAST. One of the faster cars on the road period.
I have recently added 4 new Dunlop SP 5000 tires in a size 235mm/60/15. I would recommend these tires to anyone.
