The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Summary:
|
A benchmark sports sedan celebrates 20 years.
By Mitch McCullough, Editor-in-Chief, NewCarTestDrive.com
Nissan's current Maxima is a fresh design with plenty to offer. This is a great car for enthusiasts who need a few concessions toward practicality and budget. It's a lot of fun to drive, yet offers roomy, comfortable accommodations for four and a big trunk. This is a car for people who want performance and functionality with reasonable monthly payments.The $3300 price premium for the SE 20th Anniversary Edition over the regular SE is steep tariff for just 5 extra horsepower, the limited-slip differential and some cosmetic enhancements. The total performance gain isn't all that significant. It's worth it if aggressive styling suits you, but one of the chief benefits of a sport sedan is the ability to go fast without attracting too much attention. Regardless of the option package, this fifth-generation Maxima is more powerful, more agile and more practical that its forbearer. It should be on every mid-size shopping list. |
|
Overview:
|
With a free-revving V6 engine, the Nissan Maxima has always been the mid-size sedan of choice for those who place driving enjoyment high on their priority list. The Maxima's credentials are impressive. All models come standard with a 222-horsepower V6 engine that is one of the best, if not the best, available today. A rigid chassis fitted with a sports suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, high-performance tires, and a five-speed manual gearbox give the Maxima a sporty demeanor, while sporty styling makes it look ready for action. The Maxima is practical as well, with roomier front seats and a bigger trunk than the Accord or the Camry. Nissan is celebrating a birthday for the Maxima this year by offering an SE 20th Anniversary Edition with performance and visual upgrades. The Maxima was totally redesigned and re-engineered for the 2000 model year, so it gets few updates for 2001. Nissan may never sell as many Maximas as Honda sells Accords or Toyota sells Camrys, but Nissan does sell more Maximas than the V6 versions of the Accord and Camry.
