  My Nissan Experience - 2004 Nissan Sentra
  By Mr. Mones - July 26 - 2:00 am

  This is my first time having a brand new car. I was kind of scared when I choose the car that I bought, but then when i test drive it. I was totally amaze with its performance. Now, I cant wait to upgrade more power and looks on it.

  My Spec V - 2004 Nissan Sentra
  By smokexx - July 15 - 10:00 am

  This is one hell of a car..I have had it about 8-9 months and I still love driving it. This car isnt the best on fuel but the ride is worth the extra money. Naturally apirated making it one of the fastest cars out there without a turbo and only being 4 cylinder. pop a turbo in this car and u have a beast on your hands and most cars will be kneeling hands down.

  Great car for the price - 2004 Nissan Sentra
  By ChaosKid420 - December 19 - 10:00 am

  Ive wanted this car since it first came out in 2002. Personally, I like the older body style a little better but the interior on the 2004+ is a lot nicer and is just more pleasing to the eye. Premium stereo isnt very premium. VERY quick car. LSD keeps it in line. 6- spd is quite fun. Stock tires lack grip in snow. Handles corners like a dream, minus the slight stiffness over some bumps. Beats most cars in its class.

  Very reliable car - 2004 Nissan Sentra
  By Theron - October 4 - 10:00 am

  I bought it new and have always enjoyed it. I purchased it for economy and reliability and it has not disappointed me. These cars have very good trade-in value and are even good to keep as a commuter.

  Some quirks... - 2004 Nissan Sentra
  By Pat D. - September 24 - 2:00 am

  Fabulous engine. I never have to shift out of 6th even on NY17 or hilly Taconic to Albany. Great gas mileage considering the motor size. I get 32- 33mpg on the highway all the time. Only like 24-25 in city tho.Base radio sucks unless you unhook the really cheap 6.5" sub on the rear deck, which introduces more distortion than bass. Trust me, its able to play louder and clearer without it hooked up. Shifter is really notchy, and clutch is very long throw. Ride is also very harsh, and already im hearing rattles throughout the cabin. Seats are great and supportive.

  Luv My Bumble Bee - 2004 Nissan Sentra
  By Bizzib07 - June 20 - 6:56 am

  Bought it for 10k back in March of 09, when living in Dallas tx I drove it to Louisiana and Oklahoma.... Then turned around and drive it up here to Washington state. I really had no issues, the only issue Im having with it now is when I start it after its already warmed up I have to try 2x. But a tune up should fix that. Its my 2nd car my first was a Honda civic and it greatly compares, my next purchase will be a Nissan.

  A Summary of Nissan Sentra Experience - 2004 Nissan Sentra
  By kapes13 - June 17 - 11:50 am

  Vehicle was purchased with 24K miles and has needed serpentine belt replacement, has had 2 recalls all new exhaust and catalytic converter be sure and get fixed on recall, needed ECM reprogram on recall. BAD PROBLEM had fuel shoot out the nozzle, this is the Vent Control Valve needs to be replaced. Mine also has the starting issues and had to modify battery terminals. Also will not eject CD and there has been an onset of dropped mileage since exhaust replacement. Now car has 69,000, trying to take care of it so it will drive 200K, we will see. The car is okay I guess, please heed these issues.

  Nostalgic for older model - 2004 Nissan Sentra
  By Steve86 - May 31 - 10:00 am

  Extremely small tight backseat Nissan should seriously consider reverting to the older sentra design which had a wider body and a better decent back seat. The car also has a poor ride quality at 60 hitting a highway bump bounced my head into the cieling of the car.... Aside from that the car has decent fuel economy and features though the accord would be a better buy for less...

  When good cars suck gas - 2004 Nissan Sentra
  By fts102281 - May 14 - 10:00 am

  Great ride. Great sound system(for stock). Slightly cheap interior, but nice design. BAD GAS MILEAGE. Have had a volvo 850 and ford thunderbird. Its gas mileage is no better than either of those.

  more quality please - 2004 Nissan Sentra
  By professor - May 11 - 6:43 am

  I drove a 1994 Sentra for 200,000 miles-great car, so I purchased another. My 2004 model seems like the same car. It must have been built by the same people. Ive had it in the shop twice. Once to replace steering system due to a leak and the belts are loud (which are not covered under warranty). A speaker is busted and the fuel mileage is low (32mpg).
