2000 Nissan Maxima - Good car for an older model

I bought this car five or six years ago from a dealer in NYC. It has run well and the engine is still very strong with a car with about 140,000 miles on it. It has needed a few repairs over the years but nothing overwhelming, and of course the regular stuff like tires and brakes. Overall it is a speedy reliable car.

Story

Driving up and down the coastline with the sun roof down is a good time. It is also a good car too take on long road trips, handles well overall.

Pros

It's roomy and fast. Not excessively roadster type racing fast, but it has power and on the highway can hit 110 pretty easily - that being said I don't recommend every breaking the speed limit. It is a good looking car, not too fancy, but not boxy or ugly. Overall it is a good Japanese car.

Cons

The sensors for the oxygen filter are very finicky. It you don't put in the premium gas it gives an engine error light. That is really annoying because in NY you cannot pass an inspection with that light on. If you subsequently start feeding it premium gas and drive it for a few hundred miles the light goes off, but the light will come back on when you feed it regular gas. That is really super annoying!

2002 Nissan Maxima - Powerful.

It also takes a high performance cone style air filter and because of the intake it is in a crazy location (behind the drivers side bumper and in front of the wheel well) making it difficult to get to. Also I drove into a deep puddle a while back (not realizing how deep it was) and because the filter sits so low, it filled with water and the car shut down. As big of a problem as it was, once the car dried out, I replaced the air filter and the spark plugs and it came back to life. I was shocked and amazed. When I am finally ready for another car, I would prefer another Nissan. This one has been a real champ.

Story

I am 6' 3'' and the legroom as well as headroom is quite adequate. The backseat however is a bit cramped for taller passengers. The body side molding and the rear spoiler are nice touches I believe.

Pros

Fun to drive, luxurious for age.

Cons

Bad in winter weather.
