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.

  Just Keeps Going - 2000 Nissan Maxima
  By maxhappy - August 17 - 5:03 pm

  Ive had this car for almost 6.5 years and 153,000 miles. Im confident it will go to 200,000 miles. Longevity is vital to me. I commute probably 65 miles a day, and Ive got know that my car will go. With this many miles there are bound to be some costs. Ive had some expensive repairs, such as replacing the mass air flow sensor and the auxiliary fans. Yet, I always have confidence in it. It doesnt hurt that it can still blow by most cars when needed. Im planning on purchasing a new car in 2008. The Maxima is high on my list. OK an IS 350 looks pretty good too!

  I bought my 2000 Maxima used @ 39000 miles. Fell in love with it right away because of the smoothness of the ride and power of the VQ engine that has 222 hp. Good choice in getting the factory extended warranty because the ignition coils and MAF sensor needed to be replaced after I used an 89 octane gas. The engine knocks if you use gas less than 91 octane. Handling is inspiring on winding roads. Bumpy for some but expected for a car with sports tuned suspension per factory description. I wasnt impressed with the Bose stereo so I replaced the system.

  Zippy and agile - 2000 Nissan Maxima
  By California_Poppy - July 2 - 5:10 pm

  I drove a manual 1991 Maxima that got totaled after 219,000 miles, so I bought the manual 2000 right after. Its zippy, agile, smooth, and quiet. My commute is an hour a day, so Im happy to have a comfortable and reliable car. I get about 300-330 miles per tank. I bought my car in 2007 from a guy who took very good care of it. But in the past three years, Ive had to replace the front wheel axle boot, the clutch hydraulic line, and the clutch itself. After ten years, the last didnt surprise me. The O2 sensor gives false readings and has had to be re-set. A friend of mine says to expect to pay about $100 in repairs for each year the car is old, and so far, thats right on target

  Even If I was rich, I would drive a Max. - 2000 Nissan Maxima
  By Loyal MAx Owner - June 20 - 2:00 am

  I just bought one a few days ago, coming off a 91 max. I thought my 91 was powerful, man I was wrong. The power and acceleration of this car kicks butt! I love it. All the features and the comfort. Love the bose, auto temperature, Sunroof, 17 rims, everything! I bought my 5-speed 91 with 91k on it for 2 years. rarely did it give me any problems. Now I bought a 2000 with 43k and I am in heaven!!

  I love this car! - 2000 Nissan Maxima
  By ddamon - April 14 - 10:00 am

  The only complaint I have had is, "the passenger seat is not that comfortable to ride in". Otherwise, its fun to drive, easy to maintain, and a good value!

  Cant go wrong with a Maxima - 2000 Nissan Maxima
  By SE driver - February 18 - 2:00 am

  Weve had this SE since new in 2000. Just change the oil and it needs nothing else. With under 40,000 miles so far we have not even made it to the first tune-up (100,000 miles). The only problem Ive had is brake rotor warpage at 30,000 miles. Had the rotors turned (for $10 each) and the problem was gone. The original Bridgestone tires should be replaced with better all-season tires for winter driving (like the Michelins). Believe me, you want the best rubber to take advantage of the power. This car is fun to drive and easily out- accelerates Accords and Camrys.

  Good all around sports sedan - 2000 Nissan Maxima
  By ioccaste - January 27 - 2:53 am

  Have had this car for about 2.5 years now, and have been a very happy customer. bought it with 70k, now at 103k. so far, have replaced tires, exhaust rear section, complete rear brake assembly, MAF sensor, plugs. need to have my a/c recharged soon. they say youll spend about $1000/yr on maintenance of any used car, which is pretty typical. so far, the car has been VERY reliable. its a stylish people mover, but able to romp with the big boys of GM or Ford (similar domestic sedans dont come close to the maxima power-to-weight ratio). on cold days, she hesitates while accelerating for about a minute. they say i have a small gasket leak somewhere. i get a lot of compliments. good mpg

  My beloved Maximus - 2000 Nissan Maxima
  By Ben - November 6 - 4:23 am

  My 99 Saturn SL recently decided to blow a head gasket. I decided it was a good time to get a new car. I did a lot of searching and just fell in love with the Maxima. It had everything I wanted plus more. I wanted to get a car that I could drive 150000+ miles. THis is the one! It has every option! I just love it! It doesnt get the best gas mileage, but hey, I am also a lead foot!

  2nd GLE and love it! - 2000 Nissan Maxima
  By 2nd Maxima - July 3 - 10:00 am

  This is my second GLE. I bought it used with 50k, it was a great value for all the perks that the GLE comes with. I love the Bose radio. I beleive that for the money, there isnt a better value out there if you are looking for a high-class car on a middle-income budget. Ive had several clients get into my car and say "nice car!"
