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.

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.

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.
