2001 Nissan Maxima Sedan GXE 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
RELIABLE
 I have 226,000 miles on my Maxima, and wouldn't hesitate to go on a road trip in it right now.The need for the catalytic converter to be replaced is about the most expensive thing I've experienced, which doesn't affect the performance of car, just satisfying emissions needs.Otherwise just a radiator, alternator, shocks/struts and starter needed replacement after 100,000 miles which is to be expected for a 13year old car.It starts and runs no problem, All my Nissan's have been good reliable vehicles.
