1991 Nissan Maxima SE 3.0L V6

Summary:

The most reliable, most fun, the most practical, and the best buy for money, that I have ever made!

Faults:

Replaced transmission @ 145,000miles, but new transmission shifts like a dream!

BOSE speaker amps blew, I replaced them for $80 a piece, and added a Pioneer CD player... AWESOME sound!!!

General Comments:

My family has owned this car since it was brand new, it has been the most reliable, most fun, the most practical, and the best buy for money, that I have ever made!

This four door sports car boast a drag coefficent of .32, and a first gear ratio of 3.285. This car has over 150,000 miles on it and can still kick some new cars and travel at 125mph+ speeds... not that you ever would... hehehehe.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

I own a 1990 Maxima. It's a manual and the car has 150,000 miles on it. Now I'm told that I need a new transmission. It seems that many have experienced transmission problems with their Maxima. I think that that is pretty unreliable if you ask me. My mom drives an '89 Civic with 235,000 (manual) and has never had any form of transmission problems. I'm trying to find as many people as I can who have had transmission problems out of their Maxima 5-speed. Please help me.

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!!!!!!

General Comments:

This is an excellent car. The car is 8 years old now and we put up with 127,000 miles. Engine performance is still running strong and auto transmission shifts smoothly. The ride is comfortable and handling is very good. A/C and stereo works like a charm. Paint job is original (except for the trunk and rear bumper in which was damaged in an accident). I strongly recommend this car. Reliability has been superb.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I own a 1991 Maxima SE. It currently has 215,999 miles on it and I have absolutely no complaints over it's performance and reliability since I bought it new off the lot.

I have a 1991 Nissan Maxima GXE. I just bought it, but I have owned 4 other Maxima's before this one, and still have 3 of them. the only problem I have had so far is that the front pass. side amp./speaker has a hissing sound which I think is the cause of a bad amp. Other than that I love my 91 Maxima. And the pick up is great, believe me, my friend who owns a 02 Mitsubishi Galant found out the hard way when we had a little race.

I own a 91 Nissan Maxima SE this is my third. I love this car I was looking for another family car to go along with my wives pathfinder so this is the perfect car. Rides handles like a small sports car and it still turns heads. The only problem I have is the clock stop working, but with 130k who cares. Very reliable.

I am the original owner of a 1991 Maxima GXE. I have 305K miles and this car just won't quit. I love this car! I am pretty sure I can get another two to three years out of it. Best value car I've ever bought. I don't particularly care for the new Maxima frame, so I'm reluctant to part with this one. The BOSS has one blown speaker and an engine whine noise that comes over the speakers. Aside from changing the timing belt and water pump, this car would never see the shop.

I also have a 1991 Nissan Maxima. I like the car it has 200.000 kms on it it runs good, but my ignition is loose, my brakes are now being changed, the power steering is leaking, and that's about it, but I like the car so much that those things will all be fixed.

I currently own a 91 Maxima SE with 146000 miles and a 93 Maxima GXE with 225000 miles, and the only major problems I've had are two bad injectors on the 93, and broken exhaust studs on both cars. I'm fixing it all myself, so no big deal. Other than that, I love these cars, and would definitely purchase another one in the future.
