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.

  Surpassed Expectations - 2000 Nissan Maxima
  By Bworl - April 15 - 9:26 pm

  This is an excellent vehicle. I bought new in March 2000 and have not been disappointed. First car Ive owned for 10+ years and drives as good as the day I bought it. In all categories the Maxima has surpassed my expectations - power, acceleration, reliability, comfort, looks are all an A+. Cant think of a better car to turn over to my son next year when he starts driving. Only gripe is that it goes through brake pads pretty frequently.

  Maxima SE. Just give me an antenna - 2000 Nissan Maxima
  By Hudson - February 28 - 5:00 am

  I bought this Maxima in 2002 and have put almost 40,000 miles on it. Its total miles are now 69,000. It is time for some break and rotor work, but I have had no major issues other then a faulty air intake temperature sensor and an airbag code which was $75 to reset. The airbag code was caused by me taking the seats out to install a new stereo. If you unbolt the front seats do not unhook the wiring harnesses.

  This Maxima has been excellent. Fun to drive and comfortable. Very reliable. Preventative maintenance kept it in very good condition. Only mechanical problem was the brakes which had to be replaced within warranty.

  Best Car Ive Owned - 2000 Nissan Maxima
  By SoonToBeME - November 29 - 3:53 pm

  My car has 191,000 miles and shes still purring. Most reliable car Ive ever owned. I am astounded at the people on here who spent $600-$700 dollars on ignition coils. Yes, four of mine have been replaced, but its as simple as a couple screws and a plug. I got mine for $50/ea. and installed them myself. Im no mechanic. Ill drive this car till the engine dies, and honestly I dont see that happening for a long time. Great car, and if youre here youre thinking of buying one. My suggestion is absolutely do it... youll never regret it.

  I own one an love it - 2000 Nissan Maxima
  By 037 - November 3 - 10:00 am

  I had several cars in mind when I was shopping for a car. Camry and Accord looked too plain for me. Passat in the long run would be more expensive to maintain. This car has one of the best engines in its class. The only problem I noticed with it is the pathetic down shifting on auto transmission. The answer to it is very simple, TURN THE OVER DRIVE OFF! Once that is done, the car leaves pretty much any V6 in the dust.

  The Perfect Car - 2000 Nissan Maxima
  By Dave M - October 25 - 11:23 pm

  I have had this car for 5 years. It has 15k miles on it. I have been through 2 sets of tires, Set of 02 sensors at the regularly scheduled 80kmiles, 1 set of spark plugs and one bad Ignition coil. Minus the tires that is about $1,000 in repairs over 5 years. Id say that I am well ahead of the game with this car. The engine is strong and it is very comfortable. It delivers between 26 and 27 MPH in spirited driving at about 100miles a day. I cannot find any good reason to get rid of this car. This is a great winter alternative to my restored 81 280ZX turbo!!!

  Flawless - 2000 Nissan Maxima
  By jaycue - October 17 - 10:00 am

  I bought this car new and have had virtually nothing go wrong. Under warranty, they replaced the front rotors and solved a rattling window problem; big deal. I have been astounded nothing else has gone wrong (knock on wood.Great ride in the city with the Bose cranked up; outstanding highway performance, including mountain driving.A lot of zip when passing (I do that a lot); grips the road and owns it. Heated seats and heater work well in Colorado weather.

  By GIS_ - June 29 - 2:30 am

  Had the car for about 4 months now, is all I thought it would be. I bought it used, so I knew that there will be some work needed done to it, but so far so good. Is strong, smooth and it delivers at any rpm.

  The Very Best - 2000 Nissan Maxima
  By Kris Shockley - June 23 - 10:00 pm

  Bought the car brand new and never had any major issues. Just totaled the car a week ago and walked out with little injury. Very Safe! Now looking to replace the best car I ever owned! 103k and was still running as strong as the day I drove it off the lot. Normal wear and tear issues. Tires and brakes seemed to need replaced alot..could just be me. Fun to drive, loved everything about it.
