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.

  2001 Maxima SE - 2001 Nissan Maxima
  By BV - August 13 - 2:00 am

  Great car. Very quiet interior. Powerful V-6 even at 222hp. Handles better than expected for a full size sedan with 4 doors. Excellent room inside. fits four adults easily. Steering wheel radio controls. Big trunk. Seats are form fitting, but could be a tad "cushier". HUGE storage with FOUR areas for drinks,cans,cups etc....and holds them secure!! Huge center storage for CDs to even stand upright. Would easily buy the same car again.

  5th Gen 2000-02 are best - 2001 Nissan Maxima
  By Johns - July 25 - 10:00 am

  Purchased new w/Infinity all-leather interior. 130K miles. I take good care of it. Still looks great w/a few minor paint touch-ups. Wonderful car for the S.W. and high-speed touring. Good power/weight ratio. 21 mpg city, 28 highway at 80+mph. Unmatched visibility for touring and safety. Roomy inside and comfortable rear seat for passengers up to 6 tall. Great driving car with ample power. Good human factors design for driver - everything obvious and handy. Replaced all 4 O2 sensors, starter, radiator and alternator between 105K & 120K miles, front camber kit and rotors are due. Regular maintenance w/synthetic oil. Altogether a great car thats fun to drive w/a lot of good miles left in it.

  My Maxima - 2001 Nissan Maxima
  By 2 Time Maxima Owner! - July 11 - 4:56 am

  The 01 20th Anniversary Special Edition is a wonderful vehical inside and out, including the mechanical parts. Nissan builds wonderful cars and the safety features are great. The car rides just as you move the steering wheel and stops on the dime. No hesitations! This is my second Maxima, previously owning a 95. The bang is not as strong but it drives just as well. I feel extremely safe in Maximas. The 95 Nissan was my first car, I thought I was in the Indy 500 and should have been dead 3xs. However, have been driving the Maxima saved my life.

  A great built car - 2001 Nissan Maxima
  By Maxima_Man - June 15 - 10:00 am

  Ive had the car for about a month now so I havnt really had the chance to experience problems.But I know that the maxima is a great built car because my mother has an infiniti I30.The maxima and the infiniti I30 have the exact same engines and many of the same features and components since infiniti is a branch of nissan.She has plenty of mileage on her car and has experienced almost zero problems.As for the maxima,I love it.Its roomy,fast,and offers many great features. It is one of the best cars I have driven and think its a well priced car for what you get.It is an all around great car. I definitely recommend this car to anyone.

  What a great decision!! - 2001 Nissan Maxima
  By Debbie - June 12 - 8:40 pm

  I was in the market to buy a luxury car. I was looking at buying a Lexus and brought home the Maxima. I test drove the car and fell in love with it. Considering everything that you get in the car, its a great value for your money!

  Performace 4 door - 2001 Nissan Maxima
  By Jgator - May 9 - 10:00 am

  The 25th Anniversary has been an exemplary sample of torque, size, performance and reliability. It definitely is worth the extra couple of dollars in the used car market for the added details that you get vs lets say the SE model or any oher V6 Accord or Passat. In fact a much better value and fun ratio.

  Best car ever.... - 2001 Nissan Maxima
  By Marco Madrazo - April 17 - 7:10 pm

  Folks, this car drives like a starship. Imagine youself in space manuevering a craft, and thats what driving this Maxima is like. The car has saved my life countless times due to its flexibility and quick response on the road. In essence, the car becomes part of you, it was designed to follow your every command.

  Just looking for roads with curves - 2001 Nissan Maxima
  By ACOO - April 7 - 2:00 am

  Got the 20th Anniv Edition with the 5- speed manual since my previous 1988 and 1997 Maxima SEs all had 5-speed manual trans. I might have a biased opinion The automobile handles gracefully and is always begging for more. Exterior is complimented by factory installed spoilers and all around ground effects and interior is beautifully done. Overall, highly recommended if you need exitement in your everyday commute.
