  • RELIABLE CAR, MINOR MECHANICAL PROBLEMS - 1999 Nissan Maxima
    By -

    my experience with this vehicle so far has being very good. no major mechanical problems; except for a "Bad COIL" that caused the check engine light to appear in the instrument panel. transmition feels very smooth no problems there. noise ratio outside to inside very good.

  • a good compromise - 1999 Nissan Maxima
    By -

    Good compromises: its spirited yet soft and peppy yet docile. Backseat and trunk more useable than some of its competitors. Engine pulls hard and sounds good throughout most of its range although top end thrust is lacking. Auto has a hard 1-2 shift when cold. I found the steering wheel more comfortable/responsive than others. Interior looks great although there are a couple of rattles/squeaks (easily fixable, but still). Overall Im pleased and wouldnt be considerably happier (for what I was willing to spend) without two different cars. It can either comfortably haul around four people or I can play.

    Great all around sedan. Plenty of power and has a comfortable interior and rides very smoothly. One of a kind sedan.

  • The Best of Both Worlds - 1999 Nissan Maxima
    By -

    I drove Accord, Camry, Passat, and Maxima looking for a sporty and roomy sedan with performance and quality. The Nissan is the only one that had it all for me. The engine is top notch and if you werent moving forward you wouldnt even know it was running. I love the roomy and uncluttered interior. Everything is easy to find and reach. My Maxima has every option and I cant think of anything thing I would add. I just love how this car feels when you are driving it.

  • mostly a great car - 1999 Nissan Maxima
    By -

    I bought this because I got a good deal on it. It has been a great car overall. I have had only a few problems that seem to be common for this car. I had the Oxygen sensor go out at 40,000 mi., tires prematurely needing replaced at 25,000 mi., and my cd player is dead. Not bad compared to most cars. I just got spoiled with my Toyota that I had previously.

  • Simply Remarkable - 1999 Nissan Maxima
    By -

    I was looking for a Honda but the resell value was too high so I purchased the Maxima and I have not regretted it since. With nearly 150,000 miles the engine still sounds new and it performs incredibly well. Incidental maintenance becomes an issue as the car gets older i.e. alternator, cylinder, plugs, but major failures seem near impossible. If you have a choice this is the best pre-owned car value on the road!

  • Too soon, but I have a good feeling - 1999 Nissan Maxima
    By -

    I just bought the Maxima. I had been looking for a low milage 99 or 00 and found this 99 three weeks ago with 36,000 mi. One test drive and I bought the car 10 min. later. How could someone give up this beautiful little car it is in perfect shape?

  • Great car for your money - 1999 Nissan Maxima
    By -

    I have purchased the car a year ago.I have 34000 miles on it, and I drive this car to its limits everyday, very fast, and very harsh.The whole time I owned this car, the only problem I have is with the gears on the car, are always late on shifting, other than that the car has not given me any problems, and is very fun to drive.
