1997 Nissan Maxima GLE review from North America
"Lovely car and an excellent spec. for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Squeaky brakes; although this seemed to come from the rear brake discs which we had not replaced since the previous owner.
Strange musty smell from the air conditioning when not used for a couple of days.
Leather seats appear to have lost original moisture and show signs of cracking.
General comments?
We loved this car and unfortunately lost it in a fight with a Chevy Trailblazer.
Nice torque during acceleration and not too much that the wife couldn't handle it!
Lovely BOSE sounds.
