1993 Nissan Maxima GXE review from North America
"Reliable, comfortable performance car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At around 80,000 miles the vehicle started to run rough intermittently. Upon review by a trusted local garage they determined one of the injectors was going bad. I had all the injectors replaced at one time due to the labor costs associated with removing the fuel injector rack ($500.00). This repair cost $1300.00 and included a full tune up. The rear manifold stud also broke at 107,000 miles resulting in a $320.00 repair to replace the gasket and stud.
General comments?
This car has great potential to perform well without compromising comfort. I have added roughly 30 H.P. to this car by simply adding a mandrel bent y-pipe, cool air intake and lightened pulley. The mileage actually increased by two miles per gallon. I am 6'3" and aside from getting in and out, this is one of the most comfortable cabins I have experienced. This makes a great commuter car or first college vehicle and I have enjoyed mine thoroughly.
