1995 Nissan Maxima GXE review from North America
"A high-maintenance fun-mobile"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch and A/C blower switch relay replaced at 160000 ($1,000).
Alternator at 162000 ($550).
Clutch master cylinder and hydraulic hose at 163000 ($750).
Manual transmission problems at 167000 (currently under repair).
General comments?
In spite of the expenses (over $2,400 in one year), this is a great car. The good news is that there isn't much more that can go wrong with it, and the failures are likely due to wear and tear by the previous owner.
The performance comes at the prices of having to put more gas in.
