Pros:
  • Impressively powerful V6 engine, sports car moves, availability of premium features, plenty of room for five adults.

  • High price, rough ride quality with SE suspension.

    The family car with a kick in the a$$. With 255 HP this car has power to spare. This is an entry level luxury car. Bigger than the Altima, more power and cheaper due to less demand. This car is far superior to the Camry. This is the MANS car with a touch of class for the ladie.

  • 03 MAX TITANIUM EDITION - 2003 Nissan Maxima
    By -

    Apr 03, Really wanted a used 2001 Max SE because the design looked much better. Wanted very low miles (0 mi), so decided on a new 2003 Max SE. To my shock salesman told us they did not have anymore of the 03 Max SE and Nissan was not going to be making anymore 03 Maximas. All they had were the ugly 2004s. Told him were only in Apr 2003 and no more 03 Maximas??? Why was the 2004 Maxima introduced so early in the year.He said the redesigned Altimas sales were by far exceeding Maximas sales and Nissan had to do something, so they did. All I could do is wait for used 2003 Titanium Ed. Max.

    ok this makes the 3rd one of these i have owned. i had a 96 with the 5spd (190hp) and LOVED this car, lol then i made the mistake of test driving a 2003 (255HP), needless to say now i have the 03 SE automatic ( cause im getting older and lazier and traffic here is horrible so i got the automatic) well this things is incredible it accelerates so fast that the tires will start breakin loose at 45mph. LOL LUV IT (POWER POWER POWER)

    Bought the 2003 GLE in July. The test drive sold me. This car is fun to drive!! Im impressed with its acceleration in the 40-70 MPH range. Great for interstate driving. Hang on if youre going to drop the hammer on this baby. Solid Solid car. My wife loves it.

  • If the Nissan Maxima 2003 is safe? - 2003 Nissan Maxima
    By -

    i just love the way that my 2003 Nissan Maxima drives, handles, comfort,and all the special features of the interior as well as the outside. I like the color which is black exterior and gray interior. It is the very best car that I have had the pleasure of driving or owning and I couldnt be happier if it was a brand new car. I just love my car and wish just wish that I could one day own a new one if this one gives out on me. Thanks Nissan for such a jewel of a vehicle.

    I have driven my Maxima GLE for 2 years and love it more now than when I purchased it! It has great acceleration and handles smoothly. The BOSE sound system is terrific. Very reliable.

    good car but many small annoying things

  • Extreamly Satisified - 2003 Nissan Maxima
    By -

    I was somewhat reluctant - couldnt decide between the Maxima or the Acura. Well I bought the Maxima and have absolutely no regrets. The car has great gas mileage which is a plus for me as I drive sixty miles a day. I have had the car for a month now and havent heard one noise I have read about on other reviews. Its a fun car to drive and has enough power to pass quickly on the road. I highly recommend the Maxima GLE for anyone who wants comfort, power, reliability and an fantastic interior.

  • Power and Comfort in One!!! - 2003 Nissan Maxima
    By -

    For the price, this is the best 4 door sports sedan out there. It handles much better than even the most 2 door sports cars on the road to date. You step on it, and that 3.5 liter engine under the hood, throws you into motion so fast, like a fighter jet. Its comfort compares to you being on your living room couch, while taking you to a far away place in no time. ITS FAST!!! Try it, and you will love it.

  • wow, what a car! - 2003 Nissan Maxima

    This is a fantastic vehicle. If you are in the market for a family sports sedan and dont want to spend $40,000+ on a BMW or Mercedes you should defenitely check this out.
