2001 Nissan Maxima Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

Its loaded, heated leather seats, great sound system, 6 CD, can get tinted windows, moonroof, great gas mileage, it's black on black, 4 cylinder engine, automatic transmission, it's fast, all together best car, I love this car, it is the second one I have owned, drive it you will want one.

Over 20yrs old and 135k. Driven hard daily for the 7 to 8 years I have owned it. Absolutely love a 5th gen max(01-03) and still see so many of them driving around. Lots of failed automatics but mine is a manual so can't speak to that. Reading through the other reviews can't believe that the IAC or window motors were not mentioned. 5th gens run antifreeze through the IAC. When the IAC o-ring fails coolant gets into the IAC motor. Rather than blowing the fuse, it fries the ecm (P0505 code). Yes the window motors are not reliable and barely work when they are working. My stock rims also did not hold air. The last 2 or 3 tire sets mounted, the rims were thoroughly cleaned prior, used a bead glue and nitrogen filled. But still leaked air. Bypass the coolant to the IAC and replace the factory rims.

I was gifted this vehicle and I absolutely love it! It has any and all of the extras that vehicles had at the time and all work very well. I do keep the vehicle in good repair and have had minimal problems. I have received 24-34 mpg depending mostly on which direction the wind is coming from and how strong it is! I do average 29 mpg which I consider good given the weight of the vehicle. Most important to me, I feel totally safe driving or riding in this vehicle.

It is 17 years old and still performs excellently.

Handles well, great gas mileage, smooth ride, good acceleration. Needs little repair beyond regular maintenance, new tires, etc. It's also an attractive car with a magnificent sound system, a sunroof, and fold over back seats that allow for additional cargo in trunk.

My Nissan Maxima has great interior leather seats, all automatic. It also has a sunroof. A very reliable gas mileage is 25 mpg economical sedan. The sound from the engine sounds like a purring kitten. Great air conditioning and front wheel drive. I would recommend to anyone.

It's got a sunroof and air conditioning. I wish it had a better stereo system, but otherwise it runs well and gets me where i need to go.

This vehicle has been in my family since it was new. Performance is great, it's had very few problems and has been very reliable. Very fun to drive. My only complaint is that it seems like it should get little better fuel mileage, but it's not bad. Overall great vehicle.
