1994 Nissan Maxima

Best car I ever had...

By Mel on Friday, November 16, 2012

I owned and sold this car
Reason: Mistakenly wanted a newer car - My approximate mileage is 283,000

Pros: "Great gas mileage, fun to drive, spacious interior"

Cons: "N/A"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I sold it because it was 13 years old and had almost 300,000 miles. It was at the age where a few major things needed to be replaced and I opted for a newer car instead of repair bills. In hindsight, I should have kept it. It was a v-6, drove like a dream and got great gas mileage, even in the mountains: 23/city 33/highway. I loved almost everything about it! I've had buyer's remorse since the day I bought a Honda Accord to replace it...and gotten 23 mpg/highway in a car I don't love."

"I own this car, bought her new in 1993. She has had no major issues, just regular replacement of things to be expected on a 17 year old car. She's reliable and I can't imagine life without her. She's never left me stranded and I've taken care of her. I'd be buried in her if I could!"

Epic

By Robert on Thursday, November 24, 2011

"We have had two identical 1991 Nissan Maxima SE, in both flavors an automatic and 5 speed manual transmission 1991. The first when 220K miles before my sister decided to sell it due to its age. While it had a few things wrong (as to be expected from a car that went flawlessly for 15 years and 220 thousand miles. Head gasket and burning a little bit of oil. The second one hasn’t been so great, in the reliability department it has been slightly spotty in the fuel injector department the car runs smother then the 2002 Nissan Altima we bought to replace it, with rusting fuel injectors. Had the engine not been steamed cleaned, I’m sure the car would still be running flawlessly. Driving the cars is a blast, and the 3.0L V6 offers a great mix between power and MPG. We have recorded up to 30 MPG on the highway on trips from Portland to Seattle. Its smooth, and sounds pretty awesome for a stock exhaust system. The car, even being a 1991 model year still has the ability to turn heads in parking lots. Where this car has impressed me the most? Hard to say, but I think its do anything attitude. It seems to do everything I we ask of it. If its driving for three hours running on 5 fuel injectors and 20 year old timing belt, or driving in snow with the traction that I thought could only be offered by a all wheel drive system (in performance tires, no less!) Seriously I have driving by big 4X4 trucks stuck in the snow and we just putt on by. The ONLY con I can think of is the lack of cup holders. And I find that opening the top on the center counsel offers a nice flat surface to hold drink containers. Provided you take it easy in the corners. Then again with a car like this you might discover thats a lot harder then it sounds!"
