2001 Nissan Maxima Sedan SE 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 5M)
No More Nissans
 Purchased 2001 SE brand new for my wife and absolutely love the car at first - power, comfortable, ample interior space and did I mention 'Power'.  For the previous 15 years, we've owned Hondas and Toyotas and guess we were spoiled with their reliabilityr records of these.  Starting at 30k we started having problems with the Maxima (O2 sensor, transmission, and Catalytic Converter).  These are not your regular $200-$300 problems but more like $900- 1,300 a pop and you would expect these problems at 200+k versus 30-100k.  I love the power and styling of Nissans, but I must say I'm going back to the ole' faithful Honda or Toyota for reliability and $$ saves in maintenance.
