  A good bargain - 2004 Nissan Sentra
  By Jim Sloan - May 18 - 10:00 am

  The 2004 Sentra is a very reliable car that is reasonably priced, it handles great, there are no factory defects, at highway speeds it accelerates quickly and is easy to drive. I have driven other japenese cars and the Nissan is equal in all ways to them. I highly recomend this car.

  terrible car - 2004 Nissan Sentra
  By sean - April 20 - 5:43 am

  DO NOT BUY NISSAN. This car has been a nightmare for me. I have had countless problems with the car. Manifold had to be replaced twice, O2 sensors replaced numerous times, fuel injector is faulty, spark plugs need constant attention, car shakes uncontrollably, nissan refuses to pay for any of this even though it is supposed to be covered under a parts warranty. car is around 94000 miles now and Im surprised its lasted even this long. Maximum speed on the highway is around 40 mph.

  Great little car - 2004 Nissan Sentra
  By Edgar - April 10 - 11:10 pm

  Bought this car brand new in 2004. Car has never had any issues except a faulty sensor that was covered under warranty, but other than that, car’s been running like a champ. It’s not a touring car and/or luxury vehicle. It’s an economy car meant to be driven from point A-Z without the costs. From the looks of the engine bay, servicing is easy, accessible and cheap. Reminds me of a time when you can easily fix your own car without the need of taking it into the dealer or special tools needed. Anyway, great daily driver.

  Nothing but trouble! - 2004 Nissan Sentra
  By jbh126 - April 10 - 2:00 am

  Bought: 3/8/04 - on 3/15/04 at 495 miles check engine light came on, lost all engine power. Dealer replaced enitre computer (ECM) on 3/18/04. Today, 3/21/04, at 715 miles - light came on AGAIN, and lost all engine power. Dealer could care less. Otherwise car is great, if it would actually run for more than 3 days. I suggest buying a Toyota or Honda - anything but this car!!

  Disappointed - 2004 Nissan Sentra
  By ramccombs - April 5 - 10:00 am

  The styling on the Sentra is best when a spoiler is added to the package. The 1.8 liter engine is peppy, but requires high rpm (~4200 rpm) on large hills when the cruise control is on. I drive approx 700 miles each weekend and the comfort level is acceptable. The interior is roomy and the trunk space is more than adequate. I February (mostly highway) and usually get about 30 mpg vs the 35 that is advertised on the window sticker.

  Getting between 33-34 mpg. Responsive steering and engine power and it rides smooth even at 90 mph.

  first sentra - 2004 Nissan Sentra
  By cams - March 21 - 6:30 pm

  Ive had bad experiences with cars, and so far this is a winner. I love the way it handles, except they need to make the body a little heavier(those windy days watch out) im all over the road. The audio is good for manufactured speakers.

  Compare apples to apples - 2004 Nissan Sentra
  By Mr. Outacontrol - March 5 - 2:00 am

  What most of the econosport reviews say about the spec-v is generally on target (among the fastest but not as refined)...BUT...what they gloss over is that they are comparing the spec-v to cars costing thousands more.(Mine cost $14,500). Yes, its a bit crude compared to a Mazdaspeed or Si, but compared cars with the same price such as a mid level corolla, mx3,or civic, the level of performance and FUN is outrageously better.
