maxima question

[BigWill]

so i heard that all 2003 nissan maxima's came with H.I.D.'s, just wondering if this is true?
and any other cool info on the car would be great!

Yup 2002 and up all have HID headlights, They also have nicer headlight housing too!!:thumbsup:

They are one of very few cars to have a heated steering wheel in the top model.

From 2002 forward:

HID
3.5L (Premium fuel)
Available six speed

I just picked up a 2003 SE w/ 48,000 km, leather / six speed / everything. I did a lot of research and I'm very happy with my choice.

I heard people steal the maxima HIDs in great numbers to sell on ebay etc...I'd be careful where I park it.

They all had HID from 02+. The 03 ones you're looking at have reflector based HID. Light output is between halogen and projector based HID.

I think they fixed the design to deter theft in 03.

But the for the price, Maxima is a bargain for what you get.

Always loved those cars....

Didn't know they required premium fuel - however it makes sense though.
