1993 Nissan Maxima SE review from North America
"High performance, low cost"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with the car yet.
It has the chronic "ticking" syndrome that I have heard is common with these cars.
General comments?
I have nothing but good things to say about the "big" 3.0 L. It is definitely the most powerful V6 I have ever had the pleasure of driving.
I also love the 5-speed transmission. The shifter is in just the right place. The gears shift very smoothly.
The Maxima is a very comfortable car. I'm 6'6" and have no problems with getting in and out. Relatively roomy.
All of the power is still there. Even after 146000+ miles, it will get up and go. I love blowing the little "vtec" Civics away on the weekends. The "4DSC" decals on the rear opera windows definitely do not lie.
It handles like a dream.
