  Cream Puff - 1999 Nissan Maxima

  This car is the best value for a performance sedan. Its acceleration is great with an automatic or a stick shift. Ive owned both; the manual is much more powerful and fun.

  Still Strong - 1999 Nissan Maxima
  By jackiex - August 26 - 2:00 am

  Ive been driving this car for 30k miles per year for 5years and I have only done the brakes twice and have replaced the clutch at 80k. Its really and ideal car for the type of driving that I do, and it still looks good when its cleaned up. Ill sell this to my niece next fall and she willquite likely get another 50k out of it before any major maintanence is required.

  O2 sensors are a pain - 1999 Nissan Maxima
  By mark - August 9 - 9:13 pm

  Bought it in 02 when it came off a lease. I put new BF Goodrich tractions on last year. Even at 6 years old, its fun to toss around. The standard 120 watt stereo(made by Clarion for Nissan) is nowhere near the BOSE but is OK. Dealer service was great. Glad I bought the extended warranty as Ive replaced two O2 sesors and need a third already.

  Japanese BMW - 1999 Nissan Maxima
  By PLUMMAN - August 7 - 4:56 am

  Mating the 5-speed with the V-6 engine brings this car to life. I have only hit the rev limiter once, but what fun! This car is fun on the mountain roads and loves to rev. The suspension is a little soft, but comfy. I installed aftermarket spring and shocks. I got mine used with 54k and now it is pushing 120k with no major issues. Runs best on high test gas and gets the best mileage with high test. I get 24 overall. If you can keep the speed to 60-65, doubtful, it will return over 30mpg. Best car Ive ever owned. Still solid after 120k.

  Great Buy - 1999 Nissan Maxima
  By CT - July 20 - 11:46 pm

  I bought my Maxima GXE used in 03 with 29K miles, and it was the best used car decision I ever made. It is now at 152K miles and still going strong. It has never needed a major repair. I change the oil myself every 3K miles with Pennzoil 5w-30. Repairs includes: CV boot replacements X 2, two O2 sensors, Brakes Pads front & back X 2. I replaced the radio with Sony deck with CD and Ipod wiring located in glove box, installed remote staring and door open unlock system, new speakers front and rear, Chrome wheels and had front bumper, hood and front quarter panels repainted.

  Maintanence is too expensive - 1999 Nissan Maxima
  By kievguy - February 23 - 10:00 am

  I have 99 Maxima SE Limited 5 speed for more then 3 years. The car is comparable to Camry and Accord that I had before but cost way too much in maintenance. Looks like its Nissans way to compete with big guys like Toyota and Honda - for customers expense. Look at new Edmunds topic True Cost to Own and compare to other similarly priced cars. I would not buy another Nissan, period.

  Great Car also very nice looking - 1999 Nissan Maxima
  By Wiseguy - January 31 - 2:26 am

  I bought this car two years ago, with about 85000 miles on it, and the only maintenance I did on the car was to change the oil. The car is so smooth, like it just came out of the factory. If it wasnt for the dashboard, you would think it is a new car. Accelaration so smooth, highway driving is amazing, the only down side is when you make american stops the automatick transmission stays on second gear. Other than that it is a great car.

  Wow! I love my Maxima - 1999 Nissan Maxima
  By Jon Strand - January 26 - 12:53 am

  I bought this car at 83K miles. After about a year and a half it now has 120K miles. This car is amazing and I love it to death. Reliability is fantastic as I have had virtually no maintenance costs w/the exception of oil changes, etc. I get a lot of compliments about how smooth the ride is. Some people dislike the styling of these Maximas, but I love the car inside and out. It is fully loaded w/every option but traction control and everything still works perfectly and in tip top shape, despite being a 6 year old car. This is the best car buying decision I have made and its a blast to drive. I plan to keep my Maxima until at least 200K miles, when I will likely go buy a new one.

  Original Owner - 1999 Nissan Maxima
  By John - January 9 - 5:13 am

  While the initial experience with the dealership has never been forgotten, the car has been very good to me. Good acceleration, and fun to drive. 52,000 miles and have changed tyres and oil... and nothing else (no brake pads, belts, O2 sensors, coils etc). The car does get a workout though. Owning a Nissan I keep up with www.Nissan.com, and this website tells you a lot about the company. I have not been tempted to buy a new model; my 1999 model will last me a long time I believe.
