Author's Review
Youve heard all the hype and seen all the Ads, the Nissan Maxima is truly a four door sports car. You can't help but get a "rush", when your behind the wheel and "open it up", while driving down an open country road.
While I dont own a Maxima, I drove my fathers brand new 1999 Maxima most of the summer. I currently, own a Jeep and a Cirrus (see other Epinions) but after driving this car all summer, I fell in love with it.
Ok, since Its not my car, Im not going to get technical and tell you about every feature that this car has to offer. What I can tell you is that the car is now 1 year old and has not been in the shop even for a dreaded recall. The 1999 model was the last in the line before they did some redesigned for the 2000s. (therefore, they have gotten most of the recallable issues fixed by then)
The Maxima SE comes standard with a 190-HP V6, with plenty of pep. When your on the highway and need to pass a car and quickly pull in front of the car that was on your left side, no problem. The quite engine, exerts a little extra force and you rocket by the other vehicles.
The body is sleek and on the sports model you can get a spoiler, if you into that sort of thing. Anti-lock brakes are and a performance suspension are standard too.
The interior is loaded, with bucket seats, leather rapped steering wheel, 8 speaker stereo, power everything, (seats, windows, doors locks, and sun roof) The back is very spacious as well. There is room for 3 adults comfortable (4 slightly squished). You can fold down one of the back seats to get access to the trunk, where you could carry large items. (ie. Skis)
Conclusion: I dont need a new car right now, but when the time comes, I trade in my cirrus and buy a Maxima. If you want something to compare it to, look at the Pontiac Grand Prix GT.
