5 Star Reviews for 2000 Nissan Maxima

Overview & Reviews

Average Score

4.44/5 Average
199 Total Reviews
This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Silky and powerful V6 engine, sports car moves, room for the whole family.
Cons:
  • Odd styling details, high price, rough ride quality with SE suspension.

    The only problem in owning a 2000 Nissan Maxima is that you will be spoiled horribly and unable to accept any sedan that doesnt have the combination of power and agility with the reliability of the Nissan name. One other area of concern - speeding tickets. The engine in this car loves to run, sort of like a young barely tame horse that wants to prove something every day! Make sure that you get a good radar detector to go with the automobile, or maybe a good attorney.

    The best car in its price range and lots of power. Wish I could trade it in for the newer more sexy Maximas of 2001 and 2002 that have cool features that were missing in the 2000. Things like Navigation system, music contols on the steering wheel and more more small nics naks. And not to mention the new poser house under the hood.

    This car is great. It is fast, nimble and comfortable. I have several friends who are 65" and they enjoy riding with me in the comfort. Perhaps yes it could be faster, but where and when do you get to "open it up" ? I put about thirty thousand miles on this car in a year, and except for oil changes, and two new tires it has been a great ride. Paint still looks good, interior doesnt look worn. The plastic appointments are still sturdy in the vehicle. Its roomy and it turns heads. I dont like the fact that you cant turn on your fog lights without turning on your headlights. .

    This is my second GLE, and Ive had nothing but great luck and top-end performance from both of them. Im especially keen on the GLEs V-6 engine, which I tested against both the Camry V-6 and the Accord V-6 when I was first looking at the Nissan back in 1998. Honda and Toyota may have ugraded their engine performance in the intervening years, but Id be surprised if either could match the GLE for either power or pickup. A great car, albeit a little pricey and not overly stylish.

    Only one coil pack, an O2 sensor, muffler and a starter is all I have ever replaced in 10 years. Its been a great car. I have to get rid of it because I am driving 100+ per day and need ultimate reliability. I have the 5- speed and get 30.25 MPG doing 65 MPH highway driving. Small rust spot on right-side of truck and driver-side wheel well. Brakes lasted me 75K miles and Im still on the original rotors.

    I just purchased this 2000 Maxima GXE used with fairly high mileage and I am so impressed about the quality, power, smoothness and ride of this car! I never realized how beautiful these 2000 models are.

    I bought this car 12/20/99. This car has been one of the best cars I have had. I have over 200,000 miles. Took it in today thinking I would have to buy a new car and it only needs the fan replaced and transmission servicing. I have had a problem with the tires wearing out quickly and an issue with keeping tires balanced. Slight vibration in the front. A little small for my husband but perfect for me. Passenger seat could have more seat adjustment capability

    Love this car, and pretty much everything about it. Havent had a single problem with it, and would buy another in a heartbeat. Only complaint is fuel economy, but I guess thats what you get with a car thats so quick.

    ive had my 2000 maxima se for about 7 months now. i bought the car with 73k miles on it. so far, i havent had any problems with the car. it really is a great all-around car. interior is laid out very well, and exterior styling is great. this car really goes! you can notice the difference between 89 and 93 octane gas--better performance, gas mileage, etc. what i love is at idle, you can hardly hear the car running, you really have to stress to hear the engine. very quiet and stable at highway speeds and beyond. the ride in the SE is a little firm. if you like to toss the car around, the SE is for you. tigther suspension compared to the GLE or GXE. superior to any american car.very happy
