Faults:

Just wear and tear. The car was bought second hand from an enthusiast owner. I am also a Maxima QX fan and will look after this car well. It is generally reliable, looking through its large history file, however there are some expensive repairs, but nothing serious or unexpected of the age and mileage.

General Comments:

Nissan QX is better known as the Maxima in the USA.

In the UK this was not a popular car. Many other executive cars offered better. However for the money I feel this QX is underrated.

It looks like a bigger version of Nissan's Primera. My car is dark green. Standard alloy wheels. Not ugly, just boring. Inside is rather dull but functional. Seats are very comfortable and the SE model gets a tonne of electric features. No leather however on mine. Handling, braking and ride are all stable and smooth.

The biggest disappointment is the engine. With the auto box it is slow, taking what feels like 13 seconds to 60 mph. For a V6 engine this is poor. It isn't exactly economical either at a struggle for 30 mpg on average. You are better going for the bigger engine.

Still, cars like this are a rare sight these days and I just want to keep this one as an interesting second car, which it will do very well for lazy summer cruising.
