1998 Nissan Maxima SE review from North America
"Excellent car, great long term driver"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wear of shims on drive shaft sliced the boot causing transmission fluid leak.
General comments?
This is an excellent car with good performance and outstanding reliability.
The stock tires stink and need to be replaced with something having more grip.
