Replying to: warrior_pr (Jul 27, 2006 5:10 pm) My 2002 Maxima, up until it was wrecked Monday evening, has been an outstanding car for four years and 60,000 miles. And like the Nissan logo says, the car has been "driven". It has been an exhilarating four years to have driven this car. I loved the power, I loved the "growl" of the V6. To me the car was pretty special; roomy, just really well-built. I am mourning my pretty Max! The most expensive thing I had to pay on the car was for two rear 02 sensors. The rest was just regular oil changes, one set of tires, and one set of front brakes. The 2007 is still at the top of my list for my next car along with the Acura TL, and maybe even the 2006 Altima. Unfortunately, I may not be able to sample the 2007 Altima if my car is totalled out since the 2007 won't be coming out before October. I'm afraid maybe you just got close to a lemon. I really feel that the problems you have encountered are in the minority. I'm sorry that your experience with the Maxima has been less than stellar. |

Replying to: maximafan (Jul 27, 2006 6:01 pm) Previously, I drove a 2004 Maxima SE, and that car was the best car I have ever owned. No repairs at all. In 53,000 miles of driving, I serviced the auto transmission, flushed the cooling system, replaced the front brakes and bought a new set of tires. Overall gas miles was a little above 23, and on road trips with my wife we averaged between 28 and 29 mpg. My wife's car was a 2002 Maxima SE, and we had a similar experience with that. You have to test drive the 2007 Maxima! Like you I was thinking about the 2007 Altima. In looking at pictures, I can tell that it is still a lesser car -- except perhaps for the horsepower which is a little more. What sold me on the 2007 Maxima was the increased refinement between my 2004 Maxima and the 2007. This includes the power train, suspension and handling as well as the interior of the car.

Replying to: maximafan (Jul 27, 2006 6:01 pm) If I were you, I would start looking at 06 TL as a replacement for your Max. The TL, IMHO, is a better car than the Max and retains its value nicely. I haven't look at the 07 Max, but based on the past history of the 6th gen Max, my expectations are not very high. Good luck!!

Hello. I'm not normally around the Nissan segment of these boards, but would appreciate a little insight. A close friend of mine recently (as of yesterday, actually) bought a 1997 Nissan Maxima. Problem is, nobody knows what trim level it is. I guessed that it was a GXE because it had plastic wheel-covers instead of alloy wheels. Here's all I know, and I hope it helps decide the answer: It's white with a tan cloth interior It has PW, PL, Cruise, no sunroof, power driver's seat It's an automatic (I don't think that matters, but oh well) It looks like this, except for the fact that it is white  Isn't this a GXE?
