This Year's Model Updates:

A 20th Anniversary edition includes the 227-horsepower version of the standard 3.0-liter V6 from the Infiniti I30, as well as goodies like bronze-lensed headlight covers, a body kit, ersatz carbon-fiber interior trim, drilled metal pedals and a number of features normally optional on the SE. This special model also gets an exclusive color: Majestic Blue. A new Meridian package is optional on all Maximas, bundling side-impact airbags and a low washer fluid indicator with heated front seats and side mirrors, as well as special trunk lid trim. Adding optional traction control to the SE or GLE results in a Z Edition Maxima, for some zany reason.

Pros:
  • Silky and powerful V6 engine, sports car moves, room for the whole family.
Cons:
  • Odd styling details, high price, rough ride quality with SE suspension.

  • Nice car -- shaky maintenance program - 2001 Nissan Maxima

    Purchased Nissan New 8/2001. Overall Nice vehicle. peformance, comfort and reliability. Had one major problem during the first winter -- car wouldnt start in cold weather. Vehicle sat in dealership for 2 months as they couldnt trouble shoot problem. I had to escalate to Nissan HQ before problem got resolved -- faulty computer chip.

    Ive had nissan for a while now, all i can say is great car, great power if you need it. You just barley touch the gas peddle and your going the speed limit! ADVICE: dont take out your stock cassette deck for a cd player, the car shop has no clue on how to hook up the radio antenna. If you want a cd in your car buy a cd changer for your trunk. Otherwise great car!

    The Maxima is a wonderful car to drive! I have to be careful not to over do it! I cant imagine what the 2002 must be like to drive! Get one, I highly recommend it!

    Very dependable, comfortable, and stylish. Has only needed gas, oil, and filter changes. One unscheduled repair for a faulty oxygen sensor replaced under warranty. A genuinely nice, sporty sedan for the money.
