1998 Nissan Maxima SE review from North America
"A great, reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Other than the alternator recall, we have only had to replace common things.
Parts are expensive and sometimes hard to get, but that could be more of where we are located.
General comments?
When my daughter first showed me the car I did not like it, but after driving it I was convinced it was "the one."
Awesome handling, and speed.
Got up to 135 and was still going
Has more room than most sedans
Good sized trunk.
