Overview & Reviews

The Maxima has been (controversially) redesigned, providing more power, more room and more amenities to the luxury/performance sedan buyer. Key among the improvements is 222 horsepower from the standard V6, a boost in rear-seat legroom and an available 200-watt Bose audio system.

• Silky and powerful V6 engine, sports car moves, room for the whole family.

• Odd styling details, high price, rough ride quality with SE suspension.

  Coulda been great, but... - 2000 Nissan Maxima
  By laslo - September 6 - 7:46 pm

  Bought in 2004 & loved it at first. Great pick up, good mileage & got compliments on the appearance. But too many reliability problems beyond usual maintenance... replaced coils, MAF, starter, front springs, shifter solenoid, and rear calipers so far. Afraid that O2 sensor and cat converter are next. Power seat motor died. Lots of rattles and squeaks - sounds like an aging taxi.

  Just Keeps Going - 2000 Nissan Maxima
  By maxhappy - August 17 - 5:03 pm

  Ive had this car for almost 6.5 years and 153,000 miles. Im confident it will go to 200,000 miles. Longevity is vital to me. I commute probably 65 miles a day, and Ive got know that my car will go. With this many miles there are bound to be some costs. Ive had some expensive repairs, such as replacing the mass air flow sensor and the auxiliary fans. Yet, I always have confidence in it. It doesnt hurt that it can still blow by most cars when needed. Im planning on purchasing a new car in 2008. The Maxima is high on my list. OK an IS 350 looks pretty good too!

  I bought my 2000 Maxima used @ 39000 miles. Fell in love with it right away because of the smoothness of the ride and power of the VQ engine that has 222 hp. Good choice in getting the factory extended warranty because the ignition coils and MAF sensor needed to be replaced after I used an 89 octane gas. The engine knocks if you use gas less than 91 octane. Handling is inspiring on winding roads. Bumpy for some but expected for a car with sports tuned suspension per factory description. I wasnt impressed with the Bose stereo so I replaced the system.

  Zippy and agile - 2000 Nissan Maxima
  By California_Poppy - July 2 - 5:10 pm

  I drove a manual 1991 Maxima that got totaled after 219,000 miles, so I bought the manual 2000 right after. Its zippy, agile, smooth, and quiet. My commute is an hour a day, so Im happy to have a comfortable and reliable car. I get about 300-330 miles per tank. I bought my car in 2007 from a guy who took very good care of it. But in the past three years, Ive had to replace the front wheel axle boot, the clutch hydraulic line, and the clutch itself. After ten years, the last didnt surprise me. The O2 sensor gives false readings and has had to be re-set. A friend of mine says to expect to pay about $100 in repairs for each year the car is old, and so far, thats right on target

  Even If I was rich, I would drive a Max. - 2000 Nissan Maxima
  By Loyal MAx Owner - June 20 - 2:00 am

  I just bought one a few days ago, coming off a 91 max. I thought my 91 was powerful, man I was wrong. The power and acceleration of this car kicks butt! I love it. All the features and the comfort. Love the bose, auto temperature, Sunroof, 17 rims, everything! I bought my 5-speed 91 with 91k on it for 2 years. rarely did it give me any problems. Now I bought a 2000 with 43k and I am in heaven!!

  Great car until the extended warranty ended. Then, needed new 5 sp manual trans Other negatives are high priced tires for optional rims.

  Nissan? Is it what it is made out to be? - 2000 Nissan Maxima
  By NKING - May 9 - 2:00 am

  Overall, it is a fun car to drive with great power, but when the car got about 70,000 miles on it, little things would go wrong like shrtage in lights. In November 2003, I had the car serviced and they supposivly serviced everything! By the end of December the car was to the point where it did want to stay running. I found that it was the ingition coils and they said all 6 had to be replaced instead of the one bad one! $850 to replace them. The car has been in the shop four times from minor problems. PEOPLE, KEEP THE MANUAL YOU RECIEVE ON THE EXTENDED WARRANTY! IT IS YOUR PROOF OF COVERAGE! If I had the chance to repurchase I WOULD NOT!

  $1450+a tranny! - 2000 Nissan Maxima
  By Brian-Las Vegas - April 15 - 10:33 am

  I have had this car 4 yrs. During the 1st week of Feb. 05 I spent $1450 on replacing the ignition coils, mass airflow sensor & throttle response sensor. Nissan should of extended the warranty on the coils. Nissan is well aware that the coils are junk! In addition to the above the dealer replaced the A/T under warranty at 58,500 miles. I have never had a transmission fail at such low mileage! The rebuilt unit is only warranteed for 12/12. I am a preventive maintenance junkie. I installed an external A/T cooler in series with the factory unit. The transmission was serviced twice in 58,500 miles. This should never of happened. I WILL NEVER AGAIN BUY ANOTHER NISSAN!!
