I was thinking of buying a 96' maxima 5spd
And was wondering is there any prolbem?
What do you guys think?

 

Don't know, we haven't seen the car.

I know what you meant though. And no, there are no problems with those cars at all. It will be one of the most fun cars you will ever have. Try www.maxima.org/forums and www.vqpower.com to get a better idea of the kind of car you will be buying. That car never gets enough credit. There's just something to be said for making a fwd grocery getter do 12's on stock internals with the reliability you have come to expect from an import. Looking to step back into one myself.

One word can sum it all up...pimptastik.

 

i love the 5 speed maximas.
very quick, fun to drive, and lots of room.

only bad thing is lots of torque steer.

 

i miss my 90 5 speed it rocked not to slow at all. i wanna get a 95-99 5 speed if i get another maxima ever....

 

I had one for three years. They are really reliable cars.

 

can't beat it for a FWD car: torquey, quick, roomy, and something about aftermarket stereo systems in those sound good, and the 3liter has many possibilities...there's Supercharger kits and turbo kits...good aftermarket. If you have a lot of stuff or people you need to transport...i'd say go for it.

 

+1 to everything in this thread, my mom and i both have 5th gen 5 speed Maximas, love em
