Nissan Maxima

Click below to read car reviews of the Nissan Maxima SE. At Review Centre we have thousands of reviews of cars including other Nissan makes and models, both new and used, like the Nissan Skyline, the Nissan Micra and the Nissan Primera.


Nissan Maximas first rolled out in the late seventies as a family car with a powerful engine and some extra quality features thrown in. As such they proved a hit in the solid reliable market. Successive redesigns proved even more successful including the sporty Maxima SE and by 1997 the SE model was selling hundreds of thousands of cars every year. Maximas comes in three editions: the base GXE, sport SE and luxury GLE. All of them have the same famous engine-a 4-cam 24-valve 3.0-litre V6 which delivers 190 horsepower at 5600 rpm.



This engine's success is said to be based on a broad torque curve. Power arrives at 1600 rpm and stays whirring until 5500. Fluid-filled engine mounts contribute to vibration-free driving and with the SE you also receive a sport-tuned suspension, rear spoiler, foglamps and extra stickier tires to add to the handling experience.

    I live in the US NW and there are a lot of tall climbs on the freeways. This car drives up huge, extended inclines at 70 with the RPMs hardly going over 3K. Easily 100 MPH on the freeway and the car hardly puts effort into it. I also like driving it on steep inclines in the city. No more maneuverin ...

    I bought this one used last week. It had 72,000 kilometers (about 45,000 miles), automatic and is very fast--though I'll never find out how fast. If this car turns out to be quality, I'll keep it ten years at least because it has the makings of a classic, in my opinion. The brakes are currently war ...

    Great power, roomy interior, heated seats and steering wheel, excellent sound system, roomy back seat and trunk, best combo of sport and luxury I've seen. I highly recommend this car.
