1990 Nissan Maxima SE 3.0 V6
Summary:
Good performance, sub par reliability
Faults:
My transmission went out at 109,000 miles. Very expensive.
Had to replace the clutch at 100,000 miles.
Just recently had radiator fluid leaking from the engine block.
Replaced the altenator at 100,000 miles.
General Comments:
I generally trust Nissan. I purchased this car after extensive research and finding a great reputation for the Maxima and Nissan. It didn't work out like I thought it would. I believe that a previous owner abused my car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I had the heater problem on my Maxima, turns out it was the heater control valve that was getting stuck putting out cold air even when you adjust it back to hot with the slider bar on the controls. U can replace the valve for about 150$ or just manually adjust the valve under the hood and not mess with the slider bar control in the winter. Give it a try, it might work.
