Bad Points: steering radius is not good, can make it hard to park
General comments: 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.

What an excellent car for £800 + £57.50 for a good valet + £36 to replace the wiper blades. Performance is excellent for the car's size although traction control would be nice as the front wheels do spin quite easily. Handling and ride are very good although the seats could be better at supporting your upper body when cornering. It's still a shock to find that all the electric bits still work and that nothing has fallen off after 2 years of Jaguar driving. A proper replacement ...

I'm the proud owner of a 2002 Maxima SE 6Speed. It came with 17" wheels, HID headlamps, steering wheel mounted audio controls, 255hp 3.5 liter V6 and much more. It has flagship feel. All after a month of test drivin Saab 9-3, Audi A4,
BMW 325, I made the best choice by saving myself more than $10K and getting a better performing automobile with a better history of reliability.
I got the limited slip differential and the traction control but I never use it, only in the snow. I have the car stoc ...

Overall I love this car. It's really quick. Interior quality far exceeds the altima. It is a good value and I hope to keep this car for 10 years.

The Nissan Maxima SE is an awesome car. It gives me satisfaction and pride just like my 22 year old datsun 810 maxima diesel that still lives. I retired it and stuck it in my garage - 286,000 miles no engine or transmission work. I gave it a rest and restored the entire car to like-new condition. I have a 2001 mercedes e55 amg and the emotions are pretty much identical. There is no car that can come close to the 2003 Nissan Maxima in reliablity, performance and quality for the money. Gotta say I ...

I bought a Sterling Mist 2002 Nissan Maxima SE 6-speed manual about 2 weeks ago and I absolutely love the car so far! It is an ideal car for people who are looking for a practical/reliable family car that borders on luxurious, while at the same time providing performance that makes most other cars on the road envious. On the highway, while traveling at 140KM/h (85MPH), I was still getting gas mileage of 35MPG with a comfortable ride, and the 6-disc CD changer is a joy. One of my only complaints ...

This Nissan 2002 Maxima SE car is amazing inside-out. With a realistic price sticker, it provides much more than toyota, honda, and any domestic car for that matter. Performance is the key benefit. With the lowest buck/performance ratio out of imports, this car deserves the right to be called the car of the year, not its sister - Altima. Torque is so abundant on the Maxima, that it becomes a drawback. 0 - 60 is about 8 seconds, 1 of which is spent on speening in place, and smoking tires...

I've only ever owned Nissans, but lets face it, the Maxima was supposed to be removed from production. Because of demand, it will come back with a new face lift the way the Altima did. The 2002 SE is a ton of fun and with the bose sound system it's amazing, but for 5 grand less you can get a v6 Accord, Camary, or Grand Prix GTP. Also, for the writer who said the Maxima SE will beat any Grand Prix: check out M&T and C&D, the Grand Prix is faster off then line and a tenth of a second faster in the ...

I bought a 2002 Nissan Maxima SE, black with grey leather. I just turned 30 and wanted a car I could keep until my late 30's. I wanted something fast, yet practical and reliable. I test drove a BMW 325 and didn't like the Civic feel of that car, even though it had more luxury and rear wheel drive. Plus I felt like I was paying $10k just for the BMW name.
The Maxima engine is amazing. It's so quiet at idle you barely know it's running. At higher RPM's it is solid. It's also a very practica ...

I test drove a Lexus IS300, BMW 3 series, an Audi and an Acura. The Nissan Maxima SE wins hands down for all the good points I mentioned above!
It's also worth every penny for the unbeatable price tag!

The Nissan 2002 Maxima SE is a great car at a good deal. But if this thing can't beat out a pontiac Grand Prix GTP, then it loses on both ends. Not enough luxury and not enough quickness. Remember, speed kills.

I love the kick in this Nissan 2002 Maxima SE car. The stereo controls in the steering wheel and the keyless remote that allows you the lower the windows is a nice touch. I love blowing the doors off of the Lexuses and Acuras that I encounter! :-)

Although I have always owned Nissan's, this is my first Maxima. It's a 2002 Majestic Blue, with a sunroof, wind deflectors on the sides and for the sunroof. It's a very classy sports car. The Maxima SE is a fast car with great suspension. In my opinion Nissan's are the best!

I traded in my 97 SE for a 2002 Nissan Maxima SE car with all the trimmings. I drove the 3 series and 5 series BMW and this car drives better and for way less money, plus you don't have to dump money into Nissans like BMWs.
The power is more than adequate. I chose a metallic dark blue one with light grey leather, the seven speaker Bose system that is stock on the GLE, Sunroof, Side Impact Airbags, and automatic transmission. I drive quite a bit for work and this car is a dream on the freeway. ...

I just got my Nissan Maxima '02 SE. Great car. Hopefully my wife won't wreck it. We had a 92SE and i wasn't worried, but now it's a different story. This thing is way too fast for a family car. Love the stirling paint job. Rims are OK, I would have rather had the ones of of GLE. Ride quality is good for a sport sedan. As far as looks, the Maxima had to grow on me.
Just like the older model, it took some time to get used to, the tail lights especially.
Surprisingly the base 6 speaker system is ...

I purchased my 2002 Maxima GLE in December and already racked up 3200 miles. This is my first Maxima and I love it! I looked at the Altima several times before settling on the Maxima. The Altima is a great car, but it's a poor man's Maxima. The Maxima's performance, handling, and interior quality are too much for the Altima. My goal was to purchase the best car for under $40k and the Maxima was the best overall value. I have invested another $3,000 to customise it and I get complimented ev ...

The Nissan 2002 Maxima SE is the greatest car for the money. Beats BMW 330 in every category for thousands less and I'll take 255 horsepower anytime. Maxima boasts one of the best engines in the world for the last 20 years.
If you are 6 feet or taller don't get the power seat because it doesn't slide all the way back. Also, the optional 17' wheels give you a much bumpier ride.
