2003 Nissan Maxima Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Owners of the 2003 Nissan Maxima generally appreciate its reliability, comfort, and strong performance, with many highlighting its smooth ride and stylish interior. The powerful V6 engine is favored for its strong acceleration and decent gas mileage. However, some drivers noted concerns regarding interior upkeep, especially with lighter colors prone to stains, and there were mixed feelings about the handling compared to sportier models."
Simply one of the best cars I ever owned. I sincerely regret the moment I sold it and I am currently looking for another one. Six speed manual, 260 hp, heated seats and steering wheel, bose, 30 mpg hwy, just pure driving nirvana.
February 23, 2010Great and fast car. Handle like a Go Kart. A lot of mods and never saw a quebec winter. Build quality is excellent. It is really fun to drive. Performance are really great but now need a tune-up. Interior is mint ! Black leather seats and carpet are as new.
April 5, 2012255 stock hp (about 265 right now w/mods) Sport Suspension Titanium Package Meridian Package I was never really into cars. Then I bought this in '06. Nissan's VQ is the best V6 on the market, dollars for horses. Period. I love the ride, the acceleration, and the handling. Wish there was a better aftermarket for it...

April 19, 2008I love the inside design but i don't love the outside design as much, I think they made some improvements in looks in later models. It has lots of power and still has great gas mileage. Reliability is one of the best.
May 29, 2012This is the best car I have ever owned. Currently it has 186000 + miles and going strong. Strong acceleration, decent handling. I have never done anything in regards to non- basic maintenance! love this car , going to keep it for another 5 years!
March 11, 2010VQ35DE 255 hp 246 ft/lb 1/4 mile : 14.7 avg 7L/100 km highway 9L/100 km city Find a 6 speed if you want to have fun with this car ! comfortable. heated steering and seats. Give the civic kids a sleeper attack they never thought
September 27, 2010Quick, light, and agile, while surprisingly spacious four door saloon that smacks the American competition clear across the face, best in its class, hands down.
March 14, 2008The 2002 & 2003 Nissan Maxima are model years that I def would recommend. Has lots of guts and without sacrificing comfort. The only suggestion is to steer clear from the light interior as it is a MAJOR magnet for stains! The Bose radio is not the worst but it isnt the best.
September 16, 2020I bought this vehicle used, it had around 33K when purchased. I use it for a daily driver. It has been a great car, no complaints. Strong V6. MPG I average around 28 city and 33 hwy. Color is a charcoal metallic with a light gray leather interior. Good intro luxary car.
September 13, 2008A good car with enough horsepower to make anyone happy. The car overall is solid with mild torque steer when pushing the car at WOT. The car is very responsive, but the automatic transmission really holds it down. 0-60 time is typically 6.7 seconds. The handling of the car is similar to any other fwd car. The added bonus is sporty feel of the suspension.
