olumide4christ: Hi everyone,

I'm considering getting my first car, in making enquiries about the Nissan Maxima 2002, someone told me that the Maxima was one of the worst models produced by Nissan. I'm a bit confused now, pls someone should please clarify this issues - is the Nissan Maxima 2002 a good model in terms of reliability, fuel efficiency, availability of parts? Hoping to hear from you.

La mexx: Nice to see a thread like this. I am contemplating buying a 2006 Infinity FX 35 but the review I have been getting from people is not encouraging at all. I know a sport car with crazy acceleration and power like the Infinity is bound to consume fuel. I am not bothered about that. I just want to ask FX 35 users in the house whether there are other inherent mechanical issue with the car apart from the fuel consumption and cost that make it quite scarce on Nigerian roads.

ping2ping: Hello. I know this will be the best thread to get answer to this question.

I'm considering 2000 Nissan Primera Estate 1.8L engine or 2000 Nissan Almera Tino 1.8L engine.

Now i want the house to help me make a choice considering the following:

1. I intend to do inter-region travel i.e. from South West to South East at least twice every year

2. Low on fuel since the car will be used on daily basis

3. Easily accessible and relatively cheap parts - i do NOT want to be referred to Ladipo to buy parts

4. Rugged and durable - our roads are not good

6. Good interior.

Attached are the pix for clarity.

Thanks for all your inputs

ping2ping: @costee Thanks for your response.

What I mean by not been referred to Ladipo for parts is that I expect the parts to b easily accessible anywhere in the country. I don't reside in Lagos so I wouldn't want a situation where I will need to go down to Lagos to buy parts for the vehicle when the need arises.

From your response, does it mean the two cars are same technically?

olumide4christ: Hi all, Please i have seen good reviews on the Infiniti I35 2002/2003, what are your thoughts/opinions about it as per - availability of parts, ease of repair, reliability, etc?? I need your opinions urgently, ladies and gentlemen. Thanks.

Josh121: Please house , where can I service my Infiniti fx 35, just imported it in so I need a nice and very good mechanic to help me service it running well , everything is running fine . Please I need nice place ooo

Kingsteve:

If you're in Abuja, I can give you the contact details of a mechanic...the young lad is good!
According to him, he was trained by a company, and his knowledge about cars and infiniti attests to his claim.
He thoroughly serviced my infiniti M35, before driving it down to the East.

Josh121:

Am in Lagos . Please guys help it urgent

Kingsteve: For some reason, most Nissan products are unreliable, from Pathfinder, Xterra, Murano, Maxima, to Titan, while their luxury brand, Infiniti, are well built!
I wonder...

lomomike:


And what are the basis for your conclusion?

Kingsteve: Based on some of the reviews from the consumers...Maxima had 539 reported problems.
Pathfinder=743
Xterra=425
Murano=252
Titan=114
And the worst of them all, Altima with 1,923 reported problems/cases

Compared to Infiniti
The highest reported problems were:
G35 with 21
M45 with 13
QX4 with 19, and G35x with 11.

The difference is clear!!!

DJX50:

Dis you eventually get the Nissan Maxima 2002? What was your experience like? I really love the car and that is what i want to buy, but online reviews and people's comments have been very discouraging.
I might just port and go buy a Honda Civic 2004, which online reviews say is very reliable, though the car looks uninteresting and unsexy.

PS: Other Nissan users, what has been your experience with the Maxima 2002/2003?
