What Our Members Are Saying about Nissan Maxima Reliability and Durability

Reliability and Durability of the Nissan Maxima: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD
car that will last a long time with very little problems
2003 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.5L V6
4-speed automatic FWD
It is incredibly reliable and durable
2002 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed manual FWD
It has far fewer problems than the Taurus and is predicted to age with more grace than the 4th generation Tauruses could ever hope to achieve.
2002 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed manual FWD
I Beat the Hell out of the thing day in and day out. I take corners as fast as I can then pin the throttle out of the whole and the car never falters. This thing really takes a beating every day from me with no questions asked.
2002 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed manual FWD
Great engine, gets good reviews. Fit and finish is very good, even for this older car. No squeaks or rattles.
Reliability and Durability of the Nissan Maxima: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2004 4dr Sedan 265-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
The sheet metal is prone to rusting.
