1993 Nissan Maxima GXE review from North America
"A high performance comfortable family sport car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission changed: 90000 miles. It wasn't the car's fault. hapend in snow, weels were turning, wife put gear in reverse :)
Water pump failure:
Started leaking antifreeze at around 150000 miles. Then suddenly it all leaked out when I was driving. Took it to the dealer and got the water pump replaced.
Timing chain:
Got replaced at the dealer at 150000 miles.
Brake pads were rubbing against the rotors. Changed the calipers and brackets, and bled the break fluid.
Problem was fixed.
Air condition went out at around 200,000 miles. Still haven't fixed.
Bose stereo system quit working at 200,000 miles
General comments?
This car is awsome. I think it is one of the best cars ever built. The driving and handling are perfect.
Exterior looks great, Drives like a sport car, extremely comfortable seats and very nice interior.
Miles do not effect this car, my friend has one with 300,000+ miles and it still runs great.
If you have one, do not get rid of it, it is worth fixing.
The only thing truly missing from this car are cup holders.
