Pros

254,200 Miles and still out accelerates yours, all power features work

Cons

13 year old Bose CD player finally quit, front-wheel drive limits handling performance

Most Reliable Sedan Hands-down — My '95 Maxima has over 250k miles and it runs like the day I bought it, which is better than most brand-new sedans. It makes frequent trips between Virginia and Pennsylvania. It has experienced absolutely no parts failures since I purchased it. Maintenance includes oil every 5k miles and tire pressure tests when I feel like it. Its outer appearance shows zero wear, the pearlescent white paint perfectly contrasts the immaculate black leather interior. Modifications include a Nismo decal under the right-hand tail light and a new faux leather steering wheel cover protecting the original. On the down side, the Bose CD player has finally quit, though radio and six speakers are functional.

I Love My Car More Than Life Itself =) — Speed, performance, price, options and 400+ miles per tank... do you really need anything more in a car? I paid $450.00 for my car... for what I paid for my last car (a Volvo S80 T6) I could have had 30 of these sitting in my driveway. I kick myself daily...

Maxima Rocksssss — for what it was, it was a GREAT 4-door family sedan. it was pretty darn good stock, and anything i did to it modification-wise was just to enhance the fun factor. the stock brakes are actually very good ( and fun because NO ABS! :D ). for a +15yr old car it held up pretty well. only things that i can think of that i had problems with were electrical, but of course any old car will begin to show signs of wear and problems will arise if one doesn't keep up with maintenance. overall though, this was a FANTASTIC first car... i miss it so much! :/

Daily Driver...check — It's your run of the mill daily driver. With 190hp/205tq, it has adequate performance. Currently has 265K on it and still running strong (original engine and tranny). Plan on keeping it around for a while longer...maybe even give it to my daughter (maybe!).

1995 Maxima Gxe. Not Stock — This car is a good car to drive. It is a bit of a handling change, coming from my last maxima, Which had 4-wheel independent suspension, as opposed the Ibeam rear this car has. However, you gain back what you lose in handling in overall performance and comfort.

Good Decent Trasport Not Luxurious But A Solid Choice. — Decent performance, better than most and with teh 5 spd manual it was good on gas and fast out of the lights. You could be a real stop light racer if you wanted to, but I am getting too old for that now.

95 Maxi — The nissan maxima comes with about 200 for this year, but only weighing 2800lbs without a weight reduction, the does 0-60 stock in about 6.5-6.9 seconds and is widely modifiable. a few simple modifications and bolt ons alone allow this car to become a 13 second 4 door sports sedan. many of the mods include the use of a Y pipe which allows the removal of the pre cats and raising the downpipes diameter from a little over an inch up to 3 inches produces a dyno proven 20-30fwhp. this car has been my favorite out of the cars ive owned, and driven. Its sporty, yet luxurious, sleek for its time, easy to fix, and its underestimated
