A sweet car for the money
Is is just me, or does everyone have a problem with the transmission? Since I've gotten the car, there is more and more lag between shifts, and in fourth gear (it's an auto... : () it won't accelerate.
Suspension is shot, literally drives like a boat.
Repaired broken studs in the intake manifold, cost $1000.
I absolutely love this car. I can tell that at one point it was quite a performer.
After 134k miles, the engine still has plenty of umph.
Lack of cup holders is often frustrating.
Seats are the most comfortable for driver I've ever been in.

I love this car
Nothing Yet.
The car is very quick, I love being at a stoplight and having some little tuner Civic or Integera want to race and leaving them in the dust. Nissan really knew what they were doing when they built this car.
The leather seats are very comfortable. The interior is great, I love the white gages and the yellow display at night.
The factory rims are kind of ugly and extremely hard to keep clean, however they will soon be replaced.
There is a bit of squeak from the brakes that can be a little annoying at times, but when I throw the car into POWER and fly from a stop light it is all worth it.
This car is a perfect buy if you love performance, luxury and, class all bundled into one this car is for you.

A fragile investment
Front Window regulators have failed.
Transmission had to be rebuilt for $1,200.
Tape Deck/Radio has failed. Also had to have the whole system rewired because it is only applicable with Bose.
Paint has faded substantially.
Brakes sound horrible.
The antenna is also broken.
It has very comfortable interior.
The overall torque is amazing.
It cleans up very well.
Although it has many problems, it is a nice car when it runs well.
I would advise anyone interested in purchasing one to check the transmission thoroughly.

Not as reliable as I had hoped, but fun
Steering (3 issues -- repaired under warranty before I had the car)
Power door locks (under warranty)
Power windows (under warranty)
Variable Timing Cam (VTC) springs (cause of that clicking sound, only in 1992-1994 engines), eventually got Nissan USA and local dealer to cover the full $1500 cost)
Bose stereo intermittent (piece of junk, not compatible with other systems due to placement of amps at each speaker)
Bose front speaker failed ($125 to replace)
Valve job at 95K (!!!??) carbon in engine
Power window regulator (rear) at 108K
Goes through brakes quickly -- and I am not an aggressive driver.
Nice power though not as kicky as the 1991
Very comfortable ride and handling
Interior and exterior look great, especially when clean.

Nissan has a label in the back side window saying 4DSC ( 4-door sports car) sure means it!
Brakes started to make noise after putting new brakes on.
Bose radio worked when it wanted too.
This car is beyond just a four door sports car as nissan says.
Its engine is extremely powerful most 2 and 4 door cars can't ever keep up with it.
Luxurious , smooth ride, worth the money.
Speed and performance is its top notch.
Only car I've done 140 MPH in!

High performance, low cost
Nothing has gone wrong with the car yet.
It has the chronic "ticking" syndrome that I have heard is common with these cars.
I have nothing but good things to say about the "big" 3.0 L. It is definitely the most powerful V6 I have ever had the pleasure of driving.
I also love the 5-speed transmission. The shifter is in just the right place. The gears shift very smoothly.
The Maxima is a very comfortable car. I'm 6'6" and have no problems with getting in and out. Relatively roomy.
All of the power is still there. Even after 146000+ miles, it will get up and go. I love blowing the little "vtec" Civics away on the weekends. The "4DSC" decals on the rear opera windows definitely do not lie.
It handles like a dream.
