1996 Nissan Maxima SE review from North America
"Definitely will have more Maxima's in my future"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The check engine light came on due to an Oxygen sensor being bad, I had it replaced. I have also had a new starter installed. Otherwise, just general maintenance done--new tires, new brakes (kind of pricey at $350)
General comments?
I loved this car! I put 130,000+ miles on it in about 4 years. I drove the car fairly hard, but it still performed just as well on it's last day as the day I purchased it. The car was fast and I was very sad to have totaled it in an unfortunate accident. I will definitely be purchasing another Maxima sometime soon as I could not justify spending the thousands of dollars it would have been to fix my Maxima since it had 194,000 miles. I would highly recommend a Maxima to anyone who is thinking of buying one.
