Should I get a used Toyota Solara or Nissan Maxima?

Question

I can't afford a new car right now, so I would like a cheaper used car. I really like the Toyota Solara (not the convertible) and the Nissan Maixima and have found some with low miles and great prices. Which is a better choice?

Answer 1

do you need 2 or 4 doors ??   the maxima is a larger car . the Solara comes  in 4 cyl and v6 trim levels  so  do you need  power or better gas mileage.  the  v6 in the 02 -08 Maxima is a very powerful engine .

i agree with others the  Solara is more sporty  looking .

don't forget to check car insurance rates before you buy . many happy miles to ya !!

Answer 2

solara, maximas have transmission problems (the older models)

Answer 3

Toyota is actually very reliable

Answer 4

toyota, it holds its value more

Answer 5

depends on what you want.  the toyota is 'smoother' the maxima is actually the next step up and also more sporty.  the solara, and other camry's actaully compare to the altima.

Answer 6

Solara!  It's better looking and Toyota has a great reputation.

Answer 7

I think the older Solaras look better. The Maxima is going to be more comfortable and quicker though. If you don't care about power, go with the Solara.
