My wonderful Girlfriend and I bought her a new car. She wouldn't settle for another 3gee, so....we wound up getting a 1997 Nissan Maxima in near mint condition. V6 5 Speed for $900. I always thought that nearly all Japanese cars were just built better period by design and technology. Newflash:Nissan has some of the dumbest fucking ideas on planet earth...
-Two fuses for the clock?
-Door lights, Map/Dome lights are ran through the window control panel(Whoever thought of that needs shot with rock salt) so if for some reason a bulb burns out and happens to short out your window controls, this mean no interior lighting or window control until you buy the whole unit...which i promise comes plated in iridium with diamond bezels...or at least it better for $250+
-New keyless entry system? To nissan it was...and it definately has a mind of its own. Nothing like waking up in the middle of my sleep to shut the damn car alarm off for no reason.
-Why NISSAN no put door lights in the back? Maybe to shave costs?
-How did they come up with the idea that the oil filter mounted less than 1 inch proximity to the exhaust header? I smell disaster until long heavy loads.
-The stock BOSE radio is plagued with the wonderful volume knobs that are self adjusting according to how big the bumps in the road are, but will turn up if anything when trying to turn it down and vice versa.
-Who in their right mind would put snow winter rated tires on this 4 door, in the middle of summer in ALABAMA? (It snows MAYBE once every 3-4 years here...there's no need for passenger cars with buckshot like tires...
Other than a few other things, let me tell you...this thing is no where near comparable to my 28 year old Honda by any means...Reliability is what I myself strive for, and after getting a newer car, it appears that I do still have yet, the most reliable car i've ever had...No matter what, I'll always LOVE my Hondas. :)
