2001 Nissan Maxima ST 3.0 from Australia and New Zealand
Summary:
Good solid car that will last if well looked after
Faults:
Replaced radiator and radiator fan.
Replaced ignition coils.
Intermittent problems with the windscreen washer.
Electric driver seat adjustment needed replacement.
I still use this car as my daily driver after 15 years and it has been great.
General Comments:
Great car. Very good performance from the 3 litre engine and reasonable fuel economy. For 2001 the VQ engine was ahead of its time. I have driven more modern cars, and I think my old Maxi still stacks up pretty well.
Space in the rear seat is good, but headroom is limited for taller people; not as good as my previous Camry in that respect.
Exterior styling is very average; it disguises what is otherwise a very solid, well made car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Keep on top of the ignition coils and the oxygen sensors - if you don't, the catalytic converters will tank. Unburned fuel is a stern taskmaster ;)
