"Four door sports car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Gas tank recall.

Oil valve.

Nothing major

General comments?

My family loves this car (we have a total of 10 Nissans, 4 of which are Maximas). The only shortfall is the UGLY rear end. The car has been terrific. The engine is a scream. Leaves cars that cost much more in the dust. And it's not a cop magnet.

The only minor complaint is the rear end. Too gittery. The OEM Bridgestones were awful, but now that I've put Goodyear GTII's, the ride is greatly improved. Regular maintenance and steady washing of Chicago road salt have made me love this car all the more. I only wish it looked more like the second generation Maxima ('89-94). I would recommend it so much that my next sedan will be a Maxima just like it.

I don't care what Nissan says, it is NOT a sports car!
