How do I get into the trunk?
I tried using the key, but it didn't work. And I don't know how to get into it, is there a button or anything inside of the car that I can try? This is my first car.

1991 Nissan Maxima Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The 1991 Nissan Maxima saw very few changes for the model year, which were limited to cosmetic enhancements like redesigned side mirrors and a new color of interior cloth. The 1991 Nissan Maxima came in two trims: the GXE and the sportier SE. The SE was available with a five-speed manual or automatic transmission, and the GXE was available only with the four-speed manual. Both shared a 3.0-liter, 160-horsepower V6. The fuel economy is about 19/26 mpg. Drivers like their 1991 Maximas for a number of reasons, including the comfortable, well-appointed interior; the powerful engine, and the car's solid reputation for reliability. Some drivers find the sound system to be subpar.

The only thing that I don't like about my car is the windows don't work. It runs well ans its not a problem factor besides the normal wear and tear. The parts are readily available and its not costly for most partsMay 04, 2013

What can I say I use it to get to work and back. It's nothing special but it's in very exceptional shape. Had to replace the maf sensor with an oem part because aftermarket maf sensors are too inferior. The one from autozone made the car run worse than it did with a faulty sensor.Feb 28, 2013

My '91 Maxima has 305,000 miles and still runs great. I've never had any major problems until the AC compressor went out recently. Of the five cars we've owned, this has been the best by far. I get 27-30 mpg with the 5-speed manual transmission and it's always been a fun car to drive.Dec 12, 2011

bland stying and looks make this car look like a housing comimssions car but the
vg30e engine that was also used in the 300zx (z31) and some luxury features such
as velor interior and stock powerful audio system (back in 1991 from factory) made
by clarion with a cd player but the car had retained some new sporty features such
as a rear spoiler, stock tinted taillights, twin tip exsorst, sport funtion on the
transmission as well as comfort mode and twin thotle bodies Sep 20, 2011

I love my car, our first Maxima went over 220,000 miles before
trading it in, not one major problem with it. The engine was still
in great shape and transmission as well. The car is very fun to
drive
Our current Maxima has a bad fuel injector unfortunately, but
when you consider what we paid ($500) then we really can have
no regrets after a year of heavy use. All we have replaced thus far
was a power steering pump. And this car was beat to hell BEFORE
we got it.
The one thing I will say is they are hit and miss. This car for instance had been mechiancly not the best, but the interiors has
held up very well over the years. Our first was just the opposite.
Gas mileage is about 30 on the highway, but not so great in town. Aug 28, 2009

Great power compared to US made 4-door models. Nice handling and lots of room. Many standard options like heated/powered mirrors, AC, PDL, Rear Disk Brakes and power trunk. Not so great at 23 MPG on highway but does provide a nice performance level. Minor upkeep like new starter, brakes, rotors, MAP sensor and tires. Everything is easy to repair at home with exception to the timing belt which was costly and done by a garage. Overall, I would recommend this car to anyone that needs to carry passengers.Sep 21, 2008

This was the car that sealed my love affair with Nissan. I had always loved Nissan cars, but this was the car that "sealed the deal". For a heavy car it was fast. It had the LE package, which included the Bose stereo, leather seating surfaces, sunroof, power passenger and driver seat, among other things. Jul 17, 2008
