1990 Nissan Maxima SE review from North America
"For the price I paid, which is 1500. I can't complain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have bought this car from a friend, and he has told me that he had had the water pump replaced, radiator, and starter.
General comments?
This car, compared to my 1985 eldorado, is very quick, and pretty good on gas.
I'm 6 ft 235 lbs. and it fits me just fine. the steering is responsive, and it has a very smooth ride although the car has a little more bounce over bumps than I'm used to. but it has nothing to do with the struts. i plan to have the timing belt replaced just as a precautionary measure. The stereo was replaced with a BS unit. not too sure if it is a passive stereo. if its not I plan to put my clarion bad boy in there.NOW...The car does give me a problem with starting, sometimes the engines cranks without strting. but the 2nd time around it starts. possibly a spark plug problem. and the key has a problem with the ignition as far as turning.Overall, so far so good.
