1992 Nissan Maxima SE review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, the transmission was shot when I got the car, so I knew that would need replacing. At the time of having the transmisson replaced, I also replaced the clutch.
The digital clock only goes on when the car has been running a while, sometimes.
There is also a slight tapping that comes from under the valve cover. A Toyota oil filter took care of that, though.
No other problems as far as I can tell.
General comments?
This car rides great, is comfortable, and is well worth the money. It also has sway bars which helps cornering, and the Twin Cam V6 is extremely responsive and quick. It's also the only car in it's class that can be classified as "4DSC" (Four Door Sports Car).
All of the controls are easy to operate, and the Bose sound system is great! The power moon roof/sunroof are also nice. The 5-speed transmission is also easy to shift, and in a comfortable position.
