Nissan Maxima QX 2.0 V6-24V SE

I bought the car 3 years ago, with 45.000 km on the clock. I became the
second owner of the car. With a average of 15.000 km a year, the car
has now about 90.000 km driven. Without any problems. Now I am using
the car almost every day for traveling to work. You get the best pleasure
with the car if you have to travel long distances. Then you really feel
the pleasure of the almost perfect comfort and power of the engine. 

 


Exterior

The color of the car is CP2 Brownish Red Metallic. It is a color that does
not attract to much attention, just like the whole car. But, that is no
problem, because the quality lies in its driving quality and motor power.
Speaking of power, there is enough available. The last owner of the car
had, i think, too much money to spend, because he removed all the stan-
dard silver emblems on the front and the rear, and replaced them by
golden emblems. You can say, it looks pretty well. Standard there are
fog-lights, heated and electric side mirrors, and alloy wheels. The original
wheels have been removed by me, and replaced by new ones, 4 AlessiO
Alloy wheels model Monza 7,5x16". The new tiresize is 225x55x16".
Ofcourse the car is lowered, about 4 cm.

Interior

You don't have to say much about the interior, because everything you want
is there. The only things which are missing, are the leather seats. But
actually this is not such a big problem, because in summer when the tempera-
tures are higher, leather is not such an advantage. Most of the time
you will burn your behind and that is not quit a pleasure.

There is standard climate control in the car. It is the more luxury version of
an air conditioning system. Climate control makes it possible to adjust the
temperature in the car on a precision of half a degree Celcius. Further more
on the dashboard you can see the temperature outside the car. This can be
handy in winter when it starts freezing. Then you know to be extra alert for
the road. Also from the dashboard you can adjust electrally the head lights
in height. Then there is a lot, and really a lot of plastic woodpanels. This
makes the look of the dashboard more luxury. One thing that the japanese
guy's did right, was that they have inserted an leather steering wheel.

The front, but also the rear side windows are fully electric adjustable, and so
not like in the more expensive BMW or Mercedes models with cranks.
The doors, the trunk can all be opened with the remote control. The trunk can
also be opened from the inside of the left front door. It is clear that a car of
this level has standard a anti theft system built in. This system isactivated
and de-activated by a built in chip in the key.

Engine

As allready told, under the hood of the car is a 2.0 liter V6 24 valve engine.
Multi-point injection, 4 valve's a cylinder and double overhead canmshaft.
The power of the car is about 140 horse power or 103 kW.

Vibrations of the engine can hardly be felt. The reason for this is the way the
engine is placed and mounted in the car. The hanging is fluid based. To prove it,
put a coin on its side and place it on top of the engine. Then start playing around
with the trottle and you will see that the coin hardly moves. This proves that you
hardly hear or feel the vibrations of the engine inside the car. Sometimes this is
making a problem, because you think the motor is not running. but if you look at
the number of revisions, it is pointing out a number of 500.
So the motor is indeed running.
