Overview & Reviews

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.

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

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

  Gotta Love It - 2001 Nissan Maxima
  By AE SEoulchild - November 26 - 10:00 am

  I considered several other cars before purchasing this one. Some of the cars that I thought about were the Infiniti I30/I35, Lexus ES300, and the BMW 528i. I chose the Max because for the money I got everything I wanted plus more and I saved thousands by not buying the others. The car is fun to drive, has a great stereo system, and looks awesome. With the AE my max stands out from other Maxima owners because of the subtle extra features such as the ground effects kit and 20th Anniversary badges. Both of my roommates have Lexus GS400s and I have their approval with the Max, and they are the hardest critics I know!

  Love the 20th anniversary edition - 2001 Nissan Maxima
  By wyatt808 - November 19 - 10:00 am

  Awesome car, but i bought it from a bad previous owner who put a tremendous amount of miles on it in the year before i bought it. It needed new rotors, brake pads, belts, & MAF. Eventually it needed 2 o2 sensors, but they were due anyway and are cheap. If you get drilled & slotted rotors, you should have no problems with warping.

  Best in class - 2001 Nissan Maxima
  By fchild - November 12 - 2:00 am

  This car is just best in its class. For under-30K price middle-to-full size sedan it makes perfect choice for mid-age family man.

  Great car for the money - 2001 Nissan Maxima
  By Vinay - November 7 - 10:00 am

  I just bought the Maxima GXE. So far, its been great...handles very well for a car its size. Interior room is aplenty, and the dashboard layout is much better than the new Altima I was considering. It doesnt have the frills (spoiler, rims, sunroof) but has the same engine as the other trims, and the car moves its weight very well! Its too early for a reliability estimate, but by all indications it should be excellent. Overall, a the best car for this price range.

  Great all-around performance car - 2001 Nissan Maxima
  By dude_472 - September 11 - 10:00 am

  I love this car and never doubt that it will perform in extreme situations. I go through front tires every year so you can imagine how aggressively I drive it. I had this car at very high speeds, including turns, and never lost control; it slides beautifully through the turn. The suspension seems soft and suspect on turns, but the compression is set nicely so that it holds...just have to get the feel. No problems with the engine after 50000 hard miles. Ive gone through 3 sets of breaks and 14 tires already ($$$) but that was my fault, not the cars. There really isnt much you can be unsatisfied with for the money. Had it for 4 years and plan to keep it for 4 more or so (sell@100K).

  Nissan Maxima Ownership - 2001 Nissan Maxima
  By betty sturgeon - June 24 - 5:36 pm

  Complete confidence is what I feel each time I crawl under the steering wheel of my Maxima. I have 92,000.+ miles on it, and it is still in superb running condition. The only repairs Ive needed to make have been routine, i.e., tires, brakes & battery - thats all. I would always recommend Nissan.
