  • Did some one say fun? - 2004 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    I bought my Spec V about three weeks ago and I have no regrets. Well maybe just one, shifting the gears feels really crunchy. Other than a little getting used to shifting, this car is one bad MOFO. The interior is roomier than any civic, Integra, or lancer that ive been in and the ride is smooth, even for the SPEC V suspension. If you do your home work you will see that that this bad boy offer more bang for your buck when comparing to the VW GTI, the Civic Si, the Neon SRT4 and the Focus SVT. Tests drive them all and make your own decision, but for the budget conscious sport car enthusiast the Spec V is definitely the way to go.

    check engine light goes on. Nissan can not figure out the reason. Car bucks and has bad exhaust smell.

  • ONE HAPPY CUSTOMER !!! - 2004 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    This is my very first non-USA name vehicle that I have owned.Also by far, this is the best car for the money that I had to spend. I test drove a KIA and Ford Focus,not even close to the looks and handling of my Sentra. Not only was the Sentra superior, the sales staff were outstanding. They helped me decide, not forced me to decide. Good Job Nissan!! J.A.G.

  • Good reliable car-quality so so - 2004 Nissan Sentra

    Great entry vehicle but it does not want to stay centered in the lane at highway speeds. Great engine and performance for a 126 hp 4 cylinder, but cheap components for the rest of the vehicle. I got it for $13,300 out the door and I consider this the best car out there for this amount. However, Civic and Corolla better but more expensive.

    great value for price 2500 rebate, auto, air ,power doors/windows, cd player for 11K. 37MPH on highway, fill ups dont cost 45 bucks like the pickup does.

    I think that the car is one of the best on the market for the price. It gives you so much for the money 17" alloys, 175hp, sport tuned suspension, and a 6 speed transmission. You cant believe what it can do for you. Check it out for yourself.

    My wife owns this, and its a treat to drive. Lots of power, good size and a useful trunk. Had some trouble with the transmission, which Nissan fixed FOC, but it shouldnt have happened. Id buy it again though

  • fourth Nissan - 2004 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    this is my fourth Nissan, as a retired older professional woman I like the reliability and little or no repairs needed on this vehicle.I would appreciate a little more room in the car, the 2004 model is definitely smaller. I love the price.

  • A dream to Mod - 2004 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    I bought the car in on Jan 16, 2004 and traded in a 2002 SE-R Automatic. I took all my mods off the 02 and had them put on the 04 at delivery. (Stillen Cat back exhaust, Nismo CAI, Nismo Header, Nismo Cams) The mods are endless on the web. The car is now a few steps ahead of the SI or such. You really do not need to mod the car if you want to go fast but it sure is fun to do.
