ReliableEngine/Trans,thats where it ends - 1999 Nissan Maxima
By dave - October 30 - 1:33 pmBought this car w/118000 on the clock w/out concern about reliability. In the past 3 1/2yrs, the engine and trans. have lived up to expectations (161500). However, Ive had to replace the alternator, 2 oxygen sensors, knock sensor, starter,tie rod, oil pressure switch, belt tensioner, two axles. I know w/this kind of mileage there is an expectation to replace parts, but this seems excessive. Now Im looking at having to replace the front struts and rear bushings. What prevents me from putting this car out to pasture is the engine/trans, quality/look and user friendly interior as well as the leather seats, moon roof and the Bose sound system.

Take it to the Max - 1999 Nissan Maxima
By John Bull - July 27 - 10:00 amLeased my Maxima GLE on a whim on my Birthday in 1999. I knew as soon as I fired up the silky V6 and drove down one particularly rough section of road, I had to have it. Its cushy yet fun to drive in the twisties, though it wont be confused with a sports car. This cars forte is silent running and comfy cruising. The Bose system is amazing. People have said the styling is non descript, and I tend to agree to a point, but blending in is good, especially since the car loves to run fast; Ive found myself well in excess of the 65 MPH limit and not being aware. Sometimes Ill go for a drive just to listen to the Bose and feel the response and smoothness.

Man I love these cars! - 1999 Nissan Maxima
By Daniel Richardson - July 22 - 7:26 pmI have always loved the Maxima. Ever since I was 16 and got my first 85. This car is great at handling, quick accleration, instant throttle response, great braking system, transmission shifts seamlessly. Plenty of leg in the back. Four doors makes it family but the rest of the car makes is sporty and a blast to drive. I love this thing and I jump out of bed so I can drive it to work and hate when I pull in at home cause I have to turn it off. I just love this thing and I dont know what more I can say.

Best car Ive owned - 1999 Nissan Maxima
By Liza - June 26 - 1:03 amI bought this car in 2000 with 14000 miles on it. The guys at the dealership put 3000 miles on it before I bought it. When I saw it had a 5 speed 6 cylinder engine, I bought it right away. Now with 130000+ miles on it it still runs good as new, with no major problems to report. The only problem I have ever had was a sensor that needed to be replaced & routine maintenance. I just bought an SUV and I didnt have the heart to trade the Maxima in. Hopefully Ill get another 100000 miles out of it!

Maxima SE 5-spd - 1999 Nissan Maxima
By Chip - June 14 - 10:00 amBought my SE 5 spd for a steal. $13,500 and it looks brand new. BOSE system is great. Big, easy-to-use knobs/buttons. My 1993 SE (209,000 miles w/ original clutch!) had the BOSE but its faceplate was half the size. Auto climate makes you wonder what you ever did w/o it. Leather is in great shape and two power seats is what you usually see only on high-end luxo cars. I wish Nissan had opted for a built-in antenna. The power antennaes always seem to develop a problem. I agree with the previous post...the SE is a BMW 5-series for a lot less money. Ill check back in when my 1999 duplicates my 1993 and crosses the 200k mile mark!

Solid Performer - 1999 Nissan Maxima
By Hammer123 - May 10 - 10:00 amBought a white- pearl coat automatic 99SE but w/ an interesting twist. It has cloth heated seats! Actually better than leather because it heats up faster. Breaks and muffler system are OUTRAGEOUSLY priced to fix. Overall it is fun to drive, the payment does not kill you and it is just a very solid performer. A Stick might be more fun!

I have mixed feelings about this car. - 1999 Nissan Maxima
By gelo7 - May 4 - 2:00 amI had put 17,000 miles on this car,it has 67,000 miles on it so far. Problems: 1)Nissan Ignition Immobilizer system failed(car would not start)($ 140) 2)Fake interior wood trim started to deteriorate due to ultraviolet radiation from the Sun($ 235 online). 3)Rough idle,I will probably have to replace ALL the six fuel injectors which cost about $800. My parents own a 99 Suzuki Esteem and a 99 Honda Accord EX V6 for more than two years and NEVER had a single problem with them,thats what I call reliability.(The Honda Accord needs no major maintenance until 100,000 miles).

Get one, quick! - 1999 Nissan Maxima
By Miller5 - March 22 - 4:43 amHeres a decent car. All youve read about this car is true. You get styling, performance, great gas mileage, reliability, and good resale all in one 4-door package. Ive owned a V-6 Camry and I think this car is slightly better. Plenty of head room for me (63") even with a sunroof. Go for the SE, as you get firmer suspension, better looks and a 5-speed option. If you can find a 99 SE-L, youll get spiffy options like a 5th lap belt, 120 extra watts of Bose (like it needed it...), and neato titanium-colored badges as well as cheesy "SE-L" emblems tacked onto various parts of the car. Keep it in good shape, sell it in a few years, and you should get most of your money out of it.
