1997 Maxima: The best car I've ever owned

Date of Review:  Sep 22, 2005
The Bottom Line: This is the most reliable car I've ever owned. I'd recommend this car to anyone. Quality is comparable to the best European cars at a fraction of the cost.
Review: I'm 57 years old and I've owned a lot of cars in the past forty years. I bought my 1997 GLE in October of 1999 just coming off its lease. It had 35,000 miles on the odometer. It now has 121,400 and still rides and looks like a new car. This car does...

Simply a great car!

Date of Review:  Aug 2, 2002
The Bottom Line: Nissan builds unbeatable cars, and the Maxima is their top of the line car. Enough said.
Review: Let me just start out by saying... I LOVE Maximas. I always have. My mother had a 2000 SE and I knew that one day, I was going to have one. I bought my GLE two months ago, and let me tell you, after driving my '92 Mazda, it is heaven on earth...

1997 Maxima SE Manual

Date of Review:  Apr 10, 2009
Review: I bought my Maxima in the fall of '96. It came loaded. The car still looks showroom new. I replaced the tires at about 30,000 miles, had one belt replaced and had minor work done on the front brakes. Everything else on the car is original. It's...

Date of Review:  May 5, 2000
Review: I needed a new car fast. I looked the Honda Accord,which like most other Import Sedans (BMW exluded)does not come with a V6 - 5 speed combo.I bought a black Max SE (5 speed, leather, sun room, Boze, climate control) off the show room floor for under...

Maxima to the Max

Date of Review:  Jan 13, 2000
Review: My parents own a Nissan Maxima, which is very smooth and has a lot of
power. It's a 1997 Maxima that has about 45,000 miles on it with no
problems. It's very spacious and confortable, and seems to be a safe
vehicle. Driving up hills...

A well rounded-package

Date of Review:  Sep 16, 2003
The Bottom Line: A great used car if you can find one that's been well-maintained
Review: I purchased my Maxima in December 1999. It was a used model just off lease, and had only 29,000 miles on it. Now that it has over 104,000 miles on it, I can say that this car has been an exceptional performer. It exceeds expectations in almost all...

230,000+ Miles Supercar!

Date of Review:  Aug 29, 2006
The Bottom Line: 230,000 miles and no major problems -- looking forward to hitting 300,000 in a few years. I LOVE THIS CAR!!!
Review: I bought my 1997 Nissan Maxima SE in 2000 with 37,000 miles. It came loaded with Bose audio, heated powered seats, powered sun roof, in a 5-speed manual. Six years later I have over 230,000 miles on the car -- it's going to hit 300,000, no problem!...

1997 Nissan Maxima

Date of Review:  Sep 2, 2002
The Bottom Line: If you want high performance and low maintenance in a luxury sedan at an affordable price for most, look no further than the 1997 Nissan Maxima.
Review: The 97 Nissan Maxima may not be the sportiest car on the road, but it is an exceptionally reliable car! The smooth ride and few maintenance problems is great for those car owners on a limited budget, yet this car can easily slide into the...

Date of Review:  Aug 16, 2001
The Bottom Line: "Drive a Maxima, then decide."
Review: My wife and I bought a '97 Maxima GLE (used) in 1999 with 7k miles on it. I've always been a fan of the Maxima (being technically/mechanically inclined; please read on ;^), and my wife now is a fan due to her driving experience with this car.
