Sales dropped through the floor, and the company was in dire financial condition. Fortunately, Nissan seems to be on the rebound. A recent major investment in Nissan by the French automaker Renault has helped Nissan's financial situation, and its product lineup is getting a major makeover.The Maxima continues as Nissan's flagship, but has been changed enough for Nissan to consider it a new generation. The passenger cabin is familiar, as it the general shape. But the previous generation's jellybean-like styling has gotten a contemporary, edgy update. The interior has also been redesigned. The previous Maxima's engine and suspension were already at the top of their class. Given that, some automakers would leave well enough alone. Not Nissan. The 2000 Maxima's 3.0-liter V6 has more power -- 222 hp--, with no penalty in fuel economy. And, its suspension has been refined for improved ride and handling. The old Maxima was smooth and quiet, but Nissan engineers have found improvements there as well. Noise, vibration, and harshness have been lessened with a more rigid body structure, more insulation, and suspension enhancements. Little in the old Maxima really needed improvement; little in the new Maxima has been untouched.Three trim levels are offered, with the V6 the only engine. The GXE is the basic model, but is hardly basic in equipment, with all normal comfort and convenience features standard. The SE is the sporty model, with minor cosmetic differences and a firmer suspension tuning. The luxury-oriented LE adds leather seating surfaces, power seats, woodgrain trim, a premium stereo system, and other upscale features.I've just finished a week with a 2000 Nissan Maxima SE. I has plenty of seat time in it, much during a 300-mile day in a mixture of hideous commute traffic, city driving, and the all-too-rare open road. It was a remarkably unstressful day, thanks to the quiet comfort and smooth performance of the Maxima. The previous version of the carwas a hard one to beat, but Nissan has done it. They've maximized the Maxima.APPEARANCE: The 2000 Maxima is discernably a Nissan Maxima, as we've been used to since 1995. The center of the car is apparently unchanged. But the front and rear ends are very different. A larger grille, complexly-shaped headlamps, and a squarish bumper with an aggressive lower air intake and foglamps highlight the front. The rear panel is a prominently-undercut oval, with large taillights filling the outside edges. Incised character lines on the hood and around the wheels add interest. Fit and finish is excellent. The doors curve into the roof. This makes access easier, but any minor imperfections in alignment show glaringly. I've seen luxury cars that cost twice as much as the Maxima that were not as precisely assembled.COMFORT: YAs outside, most of the Maxima's interior has been redesigned. A two-inch longer wheelbase helps add space, and almost all interior dimensions have increased. Interior fit and finish is very good. The new low-fatigue front seats are very supportive and comfortable -- even after three hours in stop-and-go traffic my body was not hurting. The standard cloth is grippy and cooler than leather in hot weather. As part of an option package, the driver's seat is power- adjustable in 8 ways; the manually-adjusted passenger seat works as well. The rear seat is spacious and comfortable, with a higher cushion for increased visibility. As on all 2000 Maximas, the windows, mirrors, and door locks are power-operated, and the driver's window operates with one touch down and up. The instrument panel is new, and all instruments and controls are conveniently placed and very easy to see or use. The center console blends into the instrument panel. Handy storage spaces and power outlets add to usefulness. The Maxima SE is not fancy inside, but is functional, honest, and good- looking.
