The car to run
4.5 out of 5 starsGleno, 05/08/2007
1994 Nissan Maxima SE 4dr Sedan
I've owned three consecutive Maximas over the years: '91, '94, '03. I've not heard of a more consistently reliable and fun to drive vehicle. The ONLY problems I've encountered are fuel injectors which tend to go after 120,000 miles or so. These cars are beyond what you could ask for in reliability. Change the oil, throw in some brake pads when needed, and maybe a muffler over the life of … the car, and you won't ever have to worry about anything else.

1994 Nissan Maxima GXE 4dr Sedan
I love my maxima. I got it for a great price, half the blue book, and have driven it crazy. I bought it my senior year in high school with 100,000 miles on it and only had minor problems during college (none my dad couldn't fix) I now have 240,000 miles on my maxima and it still drives so wonderfully. I cant get myself to buy another car because they dont match up in driving, features, … or anything else! It will capture your heart.
The best car I ever had

1994 Nissan Maxima GXE 4dr Sedan
My '94 Maxima was probably one of the
best cars ever made. It had 174,000
miles when I bought it, and the engine
was completely solid. I never had a
problem with my Max. I even got into a
rather large accident on the freeway
where I was hit by a semi and then
rammed the metal center divide, and I
left without a scratch or sore neck.
Even though the car was totalled, it …
still ran long enough for me to get it
to a body shop.
Nice, but...

1994 Nissan Maxima GXE 4dr Sedan
I loved this car the first 5 years I
had it. Then, literally 3,000 miles and
2 months after the warranty expired all
of the window mechanisms broke and the
transmission died. It was amazing.
Needless to say, I kept the car because
it cost me a fortune to fix, but my
next car won't be a Nissan.
