 Have owned my '98 Maxima for just over two years.  I purchased it from a family member with only 51,000 miles on the odometer.  The car has been reliable and fun to drive.  It's a great interstate hauler having made four trips between Indiana and Texas over the last year.  The car is very comfortable to drive and the  handling is superb.  One of its greatest attributes is its almost 360 degree driver visibility.  Blind spots are practically non-existent.  Highway mileage is great at 30 mpg, but city driving tends to consume a lot of fuel.  The only mechanical problem has been a fluid leak in the power steering.
