01 gxe 5spd
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.

It has low milage just over 120000 miles and can not keep it running
I like the power the motor has but there is a problem with the car that no one seems to be able to fix. It will not stay on.

The car requires viable maintenance. Tuneup is required.
My vehicle is considered to be an "a and b". Used mostly for work, it has limitations in size. I however like the fact that it is still reliable...

My Nissan maxima I have had for almost 20 years and the greatness of it.
Have had the car for 19 years no major issues with regular maintenance. I love the heated seats. It drives smoothly. I love having a sunroof. Although it's an older vehicle it has done a good job. I bought this car after graduating high school and it is still going just fine.

It gets 34 miles to the gallon.
My car has yet to let me down I absolutely love it other than the fact that it pulls slightly to the right. The a/c works great and it has great gas mileage.

I really like how the vehicle drives and easy to handle and great on gas
The car is really nice but old and can have a lot of problems with overheating and forth. It drives really smooth and does well on gas. However the ac doesn't work too well which I would recommend driving with your windows down. It has a long lasting life and does great on miles

My car is old and I bought it used, so it's not the best indication of the quality of this make and model. However from what I've seen and felt, it has great fuel economy, good space, and good power. It's also pretty cheap to refill from nearly empty to full. The seats are leather, so they get very hot in the summer, but it has a good sound system. The AC and the wipers/wiper fluid didn't work since my car was bought used, so I am not able to comment on the quality of those things. Overall, the car runs really well, but I might have gotten more out of it if I had gotten it new or in better condition than it is.
The car gets great gas mileage and is very cheap to fill.

The check engine light sometimes goes on for no reason.
Low mileage, some rust around wheel wells. Drives wonderfully. Still gets good gas mileage. Needs new driver's seat and cosmetic work.

Rust is a problem, make sure it does not sit outside to long all of the time.
It drives terrific, great handling, good gas mileage. Trustworthy and reliable little car. Has some problems with rust though. You cannot let this car sit outside to long.

Little luxury and reliable car.
This car is great on gas mileage, about 20 miles per gallon in town. The only problems I've ever had is because of fault on my own, so nothing wrong has happened with my car yet. It is reliable and for being a small car, there is plenty of front and backseat space. I love that this car has heated seating and in the winter it's great to drive because it has 4 wheel drive.

Best car you can buy for the money.
I bought my car from a trustworthy friend and paid $900 in cash. I like nissans and I have owned 2 prior to this one. Reliable, good on gas, drives well, cheap insurance wise.

SUuuuper old. Love the man so much. Falling apart at this point but that's ok
accountCircle Richard P on August 30, 2020
One of the best cars ever made.
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.

Reliable car, best car to own.
Almost 6 years with my Nissan maxima, very reliable car, havent had no major issues with it, small repairs like brakes, wheel bearings, fuel pump nothing major, amazing cars.
accountCircle Darlene H on July 30, 2020
To me the most important thing is the safety factor. I feel totally safe in this car.
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.
accountCircle Kristin H on July 18, 2020
It gets a mileage rate around 52!.
My car is very old and is rusting. It also it horrible on gas. The one thing that I like about my car is that the insurance on it is very cheap.
accountCircle Carli J on May 7, 2020
If the price is right it's worth it.
The gas mileage you get is decent, and the amenities in the interior are nice. I personally do not like the sounds it makes when being started and it is not the first Nissan I have heard with the same sound. The ride is ok but the power steering hose and some sort of sensor belt are being replaced on mine currently. The body style is not my favorite but it does appear nicer in lighter colors. The stereo volume shorts out and I can only use the volume adjuster on the steering wheel most days. I did only pay 3500 for it so given the investment and cost to fix, I got an "ok" deal. It's not my first choice but it is an ok car. The upside is that it does ride very smooth, has 4 doors and I love the trunk button on the remote.

2001 Nissan maxima with the tape player.
The check engine light stays on constantly, but my car has close to 200,000 miles on it. It is very reliable. It has a tape player which is convenient for Audiobooks. The seats are not leather which makes cleaning spills a little more difficult. There is a weird thing I notice about it thought. When I put something into the charging station, the radio goes fuzzy. Like for example when I plug in my car charger, the radio goes fuzzy, but as soon as I take the charger out, the radio goes back to the way it was. It can get inconvenient at times, but I listen to CDs and tapes a lot.
accountCircle Richard O on March 21, 2020

It is a very dependable vehicle. Only problem is mine has lots of rust and is not the prettiest but overall it runs very well. It is also very comfortable for both the driver and passengers.

Out of the box different and ahead of time.
Nissan maxima is a nice compact sedan. The car power is great. The maxima has a v6 engine which major of the sedans in the bracket has start off with 4 cylinder engines you would have to spend more for the other sedans if you want a v6. Maxima were ahead of their time and continue to be ahead of their time.

Has a great sunroof with different features for allowing air in or light in.
I like the gas mileage. It is a great and strong car that has lasted me 5 years so far. It is a stick shift that reliable and has only given me a few problems with the engine. It is very spacious and has a good size trunk for storage.
accountCircle Kelsey T on December 25, 2019
Better on the inside than outside.
I really love the inside of my car. I travel often and it has mostly been reliable, I don't really care for how the outside looks however it is a 2001 so it is just an older make. Overall this has been a great car. The car I would say gets better than average gas mileage, also I really like the inside it looks nice much better than the outward appearance.
accountCircle Sarah L on December 20, 2019
It is a limited edition model of the Nissan maxima.
I like that it's the 20th anniversary edition. I like that its silver and a 4 door car. I don't like that it is old and used. I don't like that it doesn't have an AUX or Bluetooth.

The thing is if you have a family this car will fit everything comfortably.
I love that my maxima has such a spacious trunk. It makes things a lot easier especially with 3 kids. The backseat is quite large as well it fits 3 car seats easily. Although I have had a few issues with maintenance but that is due to the age of the vehicle. I would definitely buy a Nissan again.

Tire pressure sucks and the transmission leaks
There is a transmission leak and the tire pressure is always decreasing no matter if the tire is new or not. Other than that I haven't really had any problems with the car. I did get a call that there might be a recall on my airbag. I need to call and check on that & take my care to the mechanic in that case.

This car is a pretty reliable car for being so old. It is got driver and passenger heated seats, control buttons on the steering wheel and really nice tan interior. The seats are a tan leather, as comfortable as leather car seats can really be. Automatic seat controls, came with a spare tire. Very good gas mileage, roomy backseat and a roomy trunk. Nice center console, cup holders and ashtray. Does not have an aux but has a 5 disc CD player and a tape player. Volume and station changing buttons on steering wheel. Has cruise control!

Long lasting and comfortable.
This car is very comfortable. I like the sporty look even though it is a four door. The spoiler on the back really adds to the great look. My car is black with gray interior. My car has 213k miles on it. We have replaced a few things but engine and transmission are fine. The leather interior is starting to go bad, but for the age and amount of miles that can be expected.

01 Nissan Maxima - A car like no other
It's a great car. If you take care of it, it will take care of you. At the same time it is an old car so it forces you to stay on top of things like oil changes and things like that. It's extremely comfortable, performs great and really reliable. I have had this car for 4 years and it still runs great.

2001 Nissan Maxima great daily driver

Do not buy it. It does not help you in life honestly. Invest in a better more reliable car! Think before you act because you will regret it after all the money you have spent! The next car I want is a two thousand sixteen Nissan maxima from a car dealership. Never buy a car from the streets!

The 2000 Nissan maxima. Sweet little car with room for the whole family. .
The car is small to drive, but has a lot of room inside. It has child locks on the back seat doors. There is a key chain push button thing that locks/unlocks doors. And opens the trunk. You can let down a back seat to give you more room in the trunk, or just have access to the trunk. The car has a CD player, and cruise control. It uses unleaded gasoline.

Older reliable commuter vehicle.
The vehicle is reliable, runs well overall, and there's been no major issues with it internally. It is a car I use for my daily commute and has never had an issue in the time that I have had it. There is some damage to the passenger side due to someone hitting it while parked but it does not affect the drivability of the vehicle.
