1998 Nissan Maxima GLE review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator went bad at about 135,000 due to recall. Had to replace breaks and tires about the same time.
General comments?
This car has been great. I have owned several cars and I think that this has been the most reliable and the best value for my money. I used to purchase european cars because of the hype, but Japanese cars are the much more reliable and a better value. I would buy another Maxima for sure. The American car companies should build cars like this.
