there's not enough women vs cupholders in the cabin!

 

and this is in no particular order...they are all equally annoying

1.) crappy **** turning radius...I swear a semi could turn sharper
2.) road noise when it is raining...I keep having to look to see if I have left a window open
3.) No highs no lows it must be BOSE crappy excuse for a radio
4.) Ohh....and that darn trunk floor...my box keeps sinking in that freaker ....they couldn't use something a bit more sturdy???
5.) solid beam rear axle....what were they thinking??
6.) I'm surprised no one mentioned this one....the thin **** paint that easily chips when someone stares at it too hard......

Window Regulators that Nissan wants $200+ to replace each!

 

don't know why that duplicated itself....

 

OMG that ticks me off so much how the front looks like its higher than the back cause of that pos wheel gap

 

turning radius

 

hate when you need a part or a fix it cost a billion dollars! and how i always find myself buying maximas and loving them even though they have some flaws

 

brakes!!!!!!! the rotors on my 09 got warped already at only 5500 miles!

 

Co-sign.

I hate the fact that I feel like I'm swallowing both sides of the lane to make a friggin turn. Makes me appreciate my 97 Honda Accord, I turned easily with little to no reversing.

 

That Nissan went FWD after 1st gen RWD Maximas, not even going AWD at least

Thats one way i respect BMW, not counting Mini Coopers they never made a FWD car

 

funny

 

I agree, but you do have to give it to the mini coopers, they are fun as hell to drive!

 

My Tahoe has a better turning radius....

 

The only thing Im not happy with so far is the amount of body roll. Ok maybe a little bit of the odd wheel gap as well. I still love it though !!

 

Body roll
Thin paint
Bad turning radius
Wheel hop with stock suspension. In fact the entirety of the stock suspension
Crap radio
Useless dipstick
Burns oil badly

My 5.5 gen was my first and will be my last maxima. I don't know what I'm going to get after though.......

 

How can you tell if your rotors are warped?

 

When your rotors will be warped and you try to avoid rear-ending that grampa in front of you, you will know..

 

constant problems. its killing me, and im a student and i barely make $

 

Still dont know why they didnt make the new Coopers AWD. Hell, Suzuki's new hatch has AWD availability

 

weird paint...bird pooped on my car once ..i whipped it off with the cleanest and softest towel...kinda scrubbed it off cuz it was a lil dry...after that i had scratches from that and i hadda buff them out...horrible paint...anything i do...use my finger nail to take off a lil tiny spec of dirt and i get a scratch..it sucks ***.

also hateeeeeeeeeeeeeeee the dip stick...why cant they just make it straight/...i done tons of oil changes and never seen a dip stick like nissans..so stupid

 

I hate the thin paint, it chips all the time! I don't remember if the paint thin when it was new otherwise I could back my gripe more.

 

Rear windows that only go half way down...

 

that i cant get the !#@$%!% thing started!

 

God do i hate that, not everyone has kids and not everyones kid is stupid enough to fly out of the back window

they should have a switch like the child door lock switch that lets you open the rear windows all the way. when its hot in summer it looks ghey driving with 2 full open front windows and 2 halfway in the back

 

Only when first started till warm it acts stupid. It will cut off twice as soon as its started then the idle will go up and down from 500 to 800. Once warm no issue at all. It has me puzzled.

 

that kinda bugs me too, my 92 gxe is always on power mode and when you first start it up the shifting is weird for about 5 minutes then it goes good

 

no remote windows roll up option. no awd. CV boots tear every 10,000 miles (unless some low caliber individuals at town fair tire tore it last time.) rear beam and all included bushings. broken sunroof and its crappy rail slides that fail. not all maximas come with heated side mirrors. carpet that wears out and looks like a crazy monkey a$$. cracked base mounts of the rear spoiler (some1 had to push on it, some1 i now hate.) no factory tints = crappy aftermarket tints that bubble and dance in the rearview mirror. oh yeah, and that it doesn't attract enough hookers.

 

Drive it like you stole it and it will eat it right up.

 

my whole car is RE-tard

 

FWD or RWD doesn't matter, alot of FWD cars handle better then RWDs, plus its easier to push a FWD.

 

^ by push I mean drive fast.

 

true that though. They should have had a AWD option at least then, maximas might have been able to get a good rep in drifting if they were AWD

 

i've heard of a skyline AWD conversion on a 4th gen... sounds costly though...

i wonder if there is a way to use the G35 AWD on a same year max. same drivetrain.. same chassis... perhaps if i ever find a totalled G35...

 

^ G35 and max drivetrain are different, but you can turn it into a RWD, but way too much work and money. Hopefully they'll make a AWD maxima soon.

 

I have been having consistent problems with spark plugs and injectors causing cylinder misfires. I recently inherited the car and my relatives had the same problem just about every single year.
