I love my 1990 Nissan Maxima SE 5 speed. Compare to 1990 Ford escort

I love my car! Performance is great, just fast enough for me. Built great. All older cars need up keep, but the only repairs i have done so far are struts, wipers, wiper fluid squirters, oil change, belts. It does need new rotors, but not immediately, according to a mechanic I don't even have to change them for a year. Appearance is great, only body damage is scratches on the passengers side from a minor accident with the previous owner.

For a foreign car I am impressed. This car has great acceleration and might actually out handle my Firebird. The quality of the interior is perfect, although I am not too sure about a few of the button placements on the dash. I am amazed how comfortable the seats are. It is a bit harder on fuel then I expected, but has required little maintenance for the age and milage of the car. I would buy another one in a flash.

great car for my first stick shift

the acceleration is fairly good, doesn't have good handling in snow it has needed a few repairs it gets good gas mileage, maintenance is fairly low this car is fun to drive around the city or out on the highway.
