Ignition coil needed to be replaced.
Constant starting and ignition problems.
O2 Sensors failed a lot.
Gas mileage got worse despite all problems fixed.
CD player stopped working.
Excellent handling, control, steering feel and response as compared to my 02 Maxima 255HP.
Good road feel.
Quiet and quality interior and more room even in the rear as compared to 2002 Maxima.
If you didn't like the 1998 model why did you get a 2002?
I don't know what the review is trying to say. You "seem" to be talking about your 2002 Maxima (coil problem) but you also have a 98 maxima and your review is listed under 97.
I am the original writer of the review, I have owned two Maximas 1998 & 2002. The 1998 was much better that 2002 with regards to performance, handling, quality of interior materials, fit and finish. The problem areas in the 1998 were; cold starting, Oxygen sensor failing all the time, ignition coils failing.
Although the car was a 1998 model, it was manufactured in late Nov 1997, and the webmaster placed it under 1997 category.
Trouble spots in the 2002 Maxima were; poor quality of materials, really bad handling and steering on bumpy roads and in snow. Smaller space in the rear.
