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 got rid of my GS300 with about the same hp. I got the SE with 17/235/45 Toyos - what a fun car to drive! beautiful interior Negative: turning radius, no memory seats.

  A wonderful friend - 2000 Nissan Maxima
  By Wendy - May 23 - 8:16 pm

  I bought this car in 2001 because (1) the old Sentra died and (2)the test drive of Honda Accord and Toyota Camry at that time were not too good. This car has been so reliable, comfort, and it moves as expected. When stop at up- hill, it does not slid down even tiny bit. When speed up, it picks up right within half second. I have more children now and need a van to carry them but I cant find another good car to replace this dear one!

  10 years of fun and reliability - 2000 Nissan Maxima
  By Maxxed-In - April 23 - 10:00 am

  I put 75k miles on my Max in the first 3 years, no probs other than ignition coils. 28k miles in the next SIX years, only prob has been an O2 sensor (front $$$). This Max has simply been EXTREMELY reliable and FUN (I wont say how fun). This was the last Max made in Japan, I cant speak for US made models.

  Fun car - 2000 Nissan Maxima
  By abros - January 23 - 1:03 pm

  Great car, fun to drive and very comfortable. Best part is an engine. It gives you whatever you ask for. Build quality is OK, I had a problem with ignition coils and MAF sensor, yet it was not that costly since I replaced it by myself ($400 total cost). I have 60K now and after replace MAF sensor, it runs like new. Good mpg - 27 in mix driving. Sound system and controls are great. I like the dashbord and interior design. Exterior is not that great, yet the idea of the 222 hp gives it respect. This is my first foregn car and what is the difference, tight build quality compare with Fords I had before. Im not sure my next car will be Max. I would try something else.

  Have had car since dec 99. Original TOYO tires lasted 41000 miles. No squeeks or unwanted sounds/noises. Road noise a little high but the wind deflector on sunroof helps a lot. Beautiful machine. Great road ride. Will keep this baby for another 50.000 miles.

  My wife stole my Maxima! - 2000 Nissan Maxima
  By BC from GA - May 21 - 3:33 pm

  As soon as I drove it, I knew it was the car for me. I had previously owned 4 Accords and did not care for the current Accords looks. The Maxima was more plain but had distinctive looks also such as tail lights. Love the power and rides like a much larger car. Great gas mileage from a performance oriented V6. We get 25 mpg in town and have gotten 32 on the road. Lots of room and the trunk holds LOTS of luggage and vacation souvenirs. Leather has aged very well and the Bose sound system is awesome. Make sure you find one that has been maintained. We had to replace the sunroof (well over 1K) and recently the starter. No coil problems, yet, at 88K miles. My wife stole it from me!

  New to Nissan - 2000 Nissan Maxima
  By Flyer 1 - March 19 - 2:00 am

  Traded a 96 Olds 88. Of course the Olds was slower and uglier, but more comfortable. The power is surprising and the car is fun to drive. It rides a little hard but handles well, especially braking. The seats could be more comfortable, but are much much better than the Mazda I tried. Nice profile, especially with optional rims. Original tires done at 37,000.

  By jclick - February 23 - 10:00 am

  My wife has driven the 2000 Maxima more than I have, but the experience of driving this car is unbelievable.The 5 speed shifts wonderfully and the quiteness of such a strong engine and sporty sedan are fantastic. No complaints at all about the car.NO wind noise at HIGHway speeds.

  Aces - 2000 Nissan Maxima
  By DC - October 29 - 9:26 pm

  Ive had this car for almost 6 years and not had a single problem! As a side note, I am extremely dedicated with scheduled, dealer delivered maintenance. I would definitely buy another Maxima. The dealers have been great and the car has been flawless. I got 58K miles out of the factory tires and after having the dealer replace them with like tires, Ive gotten 63K on the next set. If youre thinking of buying a Maxima....DO IT!
