2001 Nissan Maxima SE review from North America
"Best sports sedan for the money. Bulletproof"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine light came on due to malfunctioned catalytic converter at 55000. No replacement due to not needing to pass emission test. Likely cat blew due to prior owner being less than perfect at maintenance and not running premium fuel.
Original Tires which were Bridgestone Potenza's were mediocre.
General comments?
Engine and Transmission performance is phenomenal.
Plush appointments.
Bose stereo is as good as a Bose can be, meaning you can't push too much power before distortion.
Roomy backseat and trunk.
Handling is great.
