just got a '96 last week... love it. engine is smooth like butter, even with high mileage. and idle is EXTREMEEEEEEELY quiet. i almost thought it shut off.
Sunroof, Bose System, Heated Seats...Im The Second Owner and After Driving A 2004 Lexus LS 430 That Was (Too Expensive For Me To Keep) I Was Worried About A Downgrade...But I Feel Just As Comfortable As I Did With My LS430 Except That It Was A V8 and This Is A 6Cyl...I Love My Max !!!
aww she was a beauty when she was new! now I call her "The Tank" or simply "Maxi". I think she needs a maxipad because she leaks oil now. :( still my first car and I love the ol tank! I think I commented on this video before. may have been another copy. oh well.
just bought new winter car 1998 nissan maxima gle 98 thousand km's for 2900$ lol like new amazing car and i own 1995 bmw e36 m3 5 speed for summer car and that's about the best rwd handling your ever going to get and i can say the maxima holds it's own in the corners for what it is, and it is silent i hardly know the engine is on until you mash your foot
@istoleurcar 95 gxe 5 speed!! 172000 kms Running Semi new, need to change my shocks and new oil pan! But damn id never give this car out till i get it to die, and then looking for a 99 that i seen.
I bought my '97 GLE from a dealership when it came off a two year lease in '99. I've been driving it for eleven years now and it just turned 199,000 miles. With its dark brown rosewood exterior, gold pin-striping and black leather interior it is also a great looking car that still looks new and modern on the road. This car rocks! I've done zero to 60 in 6.2 seconds and it is so nimble I've gotten out of situations that seemed impossible. Without a doubt this is the best car I've ever owned.
I got a1996 SE 5 speed black on black with heated leather, bose sound, moonroof, limited slip, pwr everything. awsome car even with 120000 on the clock. i saw 1 the other day with 286000 on it! I have the original sticker and it sold for 28,800 when new. Whoever paid that must have really wanted the 5 speed! I think you can get a new 1 for that now! Its almost as good as my 89 supra turbo!

@Bigroberto2008 No doubt nissan made this maxima good.. and the new maxima but still Gm made good cars , you just needed to know how to maintain them , if maintained perfectly the GM V8's would dominate anything out there
@ministryofp4in yea i agree,but GM still need to work on there kinks its gettin kinda old now....my grandmothers 05 chevy equniox has only 44,000 miles and its paid for with an extended warr. and the struts has been replaced on both sides, has a new a/c blower, and now the car's startin to hesitate when startin like the batterys dying, and just recently she say's it cranks normal again wtf??, but Gm shold work on the middle class vehicles better, it should'nt be only trucks and V8's that last.
@Bigroberto2008 i hear you there brother, i have a v6 chevrolet venture minivan the engine completly sucks , but yea i would advise you to check the battery connectors simple fix :) but had that issue before on a ford (general problem) hope that fixes ur issue mate
I'm restoring a beater 1997 Maxima right now. It came to me with torn up seats, oxidized paint, an engine with 200k miles, but I still fell in love with it. So far it's at 245k miles, I've painted her and replaced the seats. I'm waiting for the engine to die so I can replace it with a VQ35DE, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen any time soon. Thanks for making such a great car, Nissan. :)
'98 here with 11x,xxx on the odometer. entirely OEM. pulls great at 3500rpm or higher, and is quieter in the cabin than those newer generation accords.
This one looks like mine! This video is really dramatic though. It emphasizes how it smokes those other cars, except for the BMW. Well, they can't all be winners.
i just got a 97 maxima like 1 month ago it was prity roughf in the engine but it had all the options leather, trim ,sunroof ext. it turns out it had all types of sensor problems changed them all and its alternator and starter and air-conditioning for about 800$ now ...its my baby.. even thow right now its in the shop for a water pump leak..i dont wana sell it even if it keeps on costing me way to much to fix ..i love the car and hope some day it calms down feels loved and stops braking things
Look at my baby !! I remember they use to call it the most trouble free car in America!! I have to always fuss at mine though, I'm like slow your ass down, cause the takeoff is so swift!! If you got somewhere to be get a Maxima and you will get there QUICK!!
Get a stillen y-pipe, ebay short ram intake, you can get ebay exhaust cheap or monza for like 350$ - remove cat and get high flow resignator (sometimes comes with exhaust) and you'll be happy ;)
@96vqSE5 Just picked up a '95 w/under 80k eng. (swap), lightened flywheel, y pipe + hi flow cat. Cold air intake (long version), variable flow intake (3.5 add on) & this crazy 'Apex i') vtec contoller that's in the glove box. I was told it dynoed 226 at frt. wheels. It runs flawless, haven't even got on it yet.
I never realized how perfect an aftermarket touchscreen Navigation + CD/Stereo headunit would fit where the stock Bose headunit is! My '97 would feel more updated with it lol
@smartkid1985 My maxima has all options too. Im the best owner for my maxima as i always get her serviced, Detailed and gets parked up in a fully airconditioned garage.
do a google search for 3.5 maxima swap or look on maxima d o t org. You can do the full swap with the 02-03 computer or you swap the timing gear from the 3.0L engine and splice in the 3.5L injectors.
'99 maxima, my cuz has a '97 540i 281HP on dyno, my car and his car are both auto, we raced on a stop light and he owned the shit out of me, it's a nice but not fast enough, i wish they pumped more out of the 3.0V6, that engine should easily hit over 200HP.
The only thing I don't understand about some of the advertising of the 4th gen Maxima is that they never used the loaded SE model in some vids like this one. I mean, leather, heated seats, fog lights, a spoiler, a power sunroof, and everything was avaliable. Plus they have better stockers (rims), white-faced gauges, and I believe a tweaked suspension. They just look way better, more of a four-door-sports-car over the luxury GLE or base GXE. Just my two cents lol
That's the first thing that came to my mind as well. The only part of this video where the GLE looks better is where they show the Wood accent interior, the SE doesn't offer that. The se does look eon's better. This video is pretty cool and I have to say 5 stars. Thanks for posting!
haha yeah dude, Maxima's own. Nissan's own for that matter. Have you seen the new 370Z? Holy shit, I hope they bring back the infamous Twin Turbo even if they have to use the good old VG!
yeah that would be tight lol. I don't want to sell the Spec V, but I want a 350Z more. A 300ZX TT would be my first choice, but the maintainence is ridiculous. I'm gonna have to stick with the bulletproof VQ series while getting a RWD Nissan luxury sports car lol
its so beautiful *tear* this vid is going straight into my ipod along with ALL other maxima commercials and straight to be viewed on my avic d3 while driving =]
Just got a 95' gxe today. It out performs my 05' Spectra that got totaled. The remaining money is going to restore a 96' mustang for my mom.

"i wish they pumped more out of the 3.0V6, that engine should easily hit over 200HP. "
It does in the 2000 model year with the variable intake manifold.

The only thing I don't understand about some of the advertising of the 4th gen Maxima is that they never used the loaded SE model in some vids like this one. I mean, leather, heated seats, fog lights, a spoiler, a power sunroof, and everything was avaliable. Plus they have better stockers (rims), white-faced gauges, and I believe a tweaked suspension. They just look way better, more of a four-door-sports-car over the luxury GLE or base GXE. Just my two cents lol
ComfortablyxNumb59 3 years ago
The SE does look worlds better then the GLE with its awkward chrome door handles and apple pie wheels.
I'm not sure why they used a GLE for these performace comparisons. An SE with a stick is a few 10ths quicker to 60 than a 540i automatic.
