Overview & Reviews

A 20th Anniversary edition includes the 227-horsepower version of the standard 3.0-liter V6 from the Infiniti I30, as well as goodies like bronze-lensed headlight covers, a body kit, ersatz carbon-fiber interior trim, drilled metal pedals and a number of features normally optional on the SE. This special model also gets an exclusive color: Majestic Blue. A new Meridian package is optional on all Maximas, bundling side-impact airbags and a low washer fluid indicator with heated front seats and side mirrors, as well as special trunk lid trim. Adding optional traction control to the SE or GLE results in a Z Edition Maxima, for some zany reason.

• Silky and powerful V6 engine, sports car moves, room for the whole family.

• Odd styling details, high price, rough ride quality with SE suspension.

  RG 1 Maxima - 2001 Nissan Maxima
  By Rick - December 9 - 11:23 am

  During the 8 years I have owned since new, I have put new brakes once, new tires twice, one new radiator at 150000 miles and now the struts need replacing. If this were a ford focus or whatever it would now be around in this good a condition. Also my actual miles per gallon is city 21 highway 27

  Bad paint - 2001 Nissan Maxima
  By Bob Plucinski - December 8 - 10:00 am

  I have enjoyed this vehicle and do feel it is a good vehicle for the money. However, I am very upset about the paint job. I have had too many paint chips to count. I expected more out of Nissan.

  Love My Maxima - 2001 Nissan Maxima
  By carolinagirl7 - December 1 - 6:20 am

  Bought my 2001 Nissan Maxima in Dec 2003 and it has been a great car! Love the way it handles. Its roomy and very comfortable. It now has 194k miles and still going strong. Only regular maintenance done over the 10 years Ive owned the car. When I sell this one, I hope to get another Maxima.

  20th Anniversary Edition Maxima - 2001 Nissan Maxima
  By Brooklynborn - December 1 - 4:16 am

  This is my 4th Maxima and I absolutely love this car. Ive had it 4 and a half years now. The car rides smooth and quiet. It has a strong 227 Hp engine, the same one found in the 2001 Infinity I30. 4900 miles on it and still performs like new. No problems to report. All Ive done to this car is replaced the tires when needed. The reliability of this car is excellent. This is exactly why I buy Maximas and nothing else, its the best car for the money. Im about to buy a 2006 Maxima. Ive received many great offers on my car to sell.

  Mixed Feelings - 2001 Nissan Maxima
  By Mixed Feelings - November 3 - 7:30 pm

  Bought the car in 05 with 95km and now has 166km. Ill first start off with the good qualities: comfortable luxury interior with good sound system. Has good power and fun to drive. Now the problems. Non stop idle problems. I have had many parts changed and still no luck. It seems like the check engine light is always on for something. To this day I still have idle problems which the dealership wants $2400 to change the computer. There is also some rust starting on the body. Other than that, its been a decent car.

  2001 Nissan Maxima SE - 2001 Nissan Maxima
  By Vman - August 23 - 10:36 am

  I purchased this vehicle "used" in 2004. I have loved the performance and styling of the Maxima. Shortly after purchase I needed a 02 sensor and a new catalytic converter. I was lucky to have purchased a pre-owned warranty that covered the problems that would have cost me approx. $1000. I also needed to replace the Bridgestone potenzas that I found to be horrible in the snow. If you plan to buy a car that has 17" rims remember that even the best all season radial tire at (225/17/93V) will be marginal in the snow. I purchased Continental Conti- touring tires at a great price and have put approx. 20K on them with no problems. The 2001 Nissan Maxima SE is a solid choice for the price.

  A ton of fun and bang for the $ - 2001 Nissan Maxima
  By Lady J - July 27 - 10:00 am

  My wife and I bought a lease turn in for $17k w/21k miles on it. We could be more pleased and laugh at our friends that by new Accords, J30/35, Camarys and whatevers. Its almost too much fun to drive. Hard to keep under 80mph on the Interstate.

  best car easily destroys the accord - 2001 Nissan Maxima
  By Mensur Pjetrovic - July 26 - 6:43 pm

  this car is the sickest car ive ever driven it plus i added a cold air intake which really makes the car pull off the line as if it needed more power steering and cornering is excellent driving a 2000 accord ex v6 gold (hayat) and i have to say the maxima outperforms it.
