Used 2002 Nissan Maxima SE for Sale near Westbrook, CT

I owned a 2002 Maxima SE 6 speed manual and drove it about 90,000 miles in less than 3 years. I bought the base model and had the dealer install leather. I had owned a 1999 Maxima SE 5 speed manual prior to this and loved that one too. The 2002 has a much smoother transmission. The suspension is set up a bit softer than the 1999, which wasn't my personal taste, but my passengers seemed to like it. The interior is also very large. At the time, I had two young children in car seats and could fit three car seats across in the backseat. Not many cars that compete with the Maxima can manage that. Fuel mileage was good throughout my ownership. I see these on the road now and think they are probably the best Maxima that Nissan made.

I love this car. It's probably one of the best cars I've ever driven for the money. I highly recommend it. This one is special because it's the last year that the Maxima was made in Japan.

Christ, this thing is a beast! Nissan's 3.5l VQ engine and the 6spd manual transmission really get this car going. Its a sleeper for sure. Never have seen a car that looked good, had lots of room, was comfortable, and performed 0-60mph times in 5.5 seconds. Nothing like the 5th Generation Nissan Maxima.

Persormance: Dont make alot of parts for this car but when you find them they are costly. Build: Car is sound. Appearance: Car has some nice lines to it. Very sharp. Cost: Gas isent bad its a V6. Maintenance: Mobil 1 all the way. Fun: Its not a car to take in the woods but on the streets it handles

Gotta have 6M, but lottsa torque-steer. Needs stiffer springs and independent rear suspension... its way too soft. Great on the interstate and amazing mileage...I've actually averaged nearly 40mpg with cruise on long trips. Spacious and quiet, but can put you in jail faster than you think.
