  • Dont miss out on this experience!!! - 2004 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    My fiance purchaced this car and has become a true driving enthusiast solely based on her experience with this car. I drive it and must admit that it is hard to stay under the speed limit. The styling inside and outside are eye-catching (the exterior is really only appreciated when the car is in motion.) As a college student, this car will stick in both our memories as a wonderful car, reminiscent of the muscle cars our parents drove.

  • Best Car I have ever owned - 2004 Nissan Sentra

    I own 2 Nissan Sentras, They are way above the competition in reliabilty, price and comfort. The drivers seat is more comfortable than Toyota corolla, or Honda civic and it costs less.

  • Great little car! - 2004 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    Ive had this car for about 3 weeks now and im loving it completely. This is my first new car, and im so glad i went with the SE-R its quick, fun to drive, great handling, i got the audio fanatic pacakage and that is so worth it, the sound in that car is so awesome, and the 2.5L engine is like a mini V6. Great HP and Torque make acceleration fun and easy. The gas mileage is ok, it runs about average with other cars. Overall, If you want a small sporty car thats affordable and fun to drive, id suggest it to anyone looking for a car like this!

    Its a blast to drive i upgraded to the brembo brakes and will stop on a dime. The car handles great but is still a compact car which is good for me Im consistantly on the road I travel to several cities around the area but the car can be a lil bouncy on the interstate but i dont mind it too much cause the fun factor makes up for it

  • One month old and still happy! - 2004 Nissan Sentra

    This is my first Nissan and I have to admit it is a great little car. I bought this car from the newspaper Lost Leader ads, and I have to admit I got a great deal. The car is sound, great gas mileage, comfortable, great stereo/CD etc. Buying this car from the dealership was also a great experience. For once I feel good leaving the dealership with a good deal and car!!!

  • Agreed. Sleeper! - 2004 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    Nice to research this car and not find many reviews. Altima and Maxima are hogging all the attention. Fortunately, for small wallet buyers like myself, Sentra provides a viable alternative to the high-priced lines. Sensors are my concern, only suggestion to get warranty above the basic powertrain if keeping the car more than four or five years.

  • Fun and Economical - 2004 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    After looking at many cars (including the SVT Focus, Neon SRT-4, and Nissan Altima, I decided on the one I had my eye on from the beginning. Performance is great, you can launch from 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and still has good pickup in 4th,5th,&6th. Comfort is nice, I like the bucket seats, some might not. Fuel economy - AC blasting, I got 31 MPG going 450 miles.

  • I love this car - 2004 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    I just bought this car, and I am thrilled with it. I am surprised how well it drives considering the price. I test drove the corolla LE before purchasing the sentra, and it was horrible. It drives like a cow compared to the nissan. The sentra is about 2k cheaper than the toyota. The only problem I have had with the car is the check engine light came one at 80 miles. The dealer says its nothing. It does not even give a code when they hook it up to the computer.

  • So far, so good - 2004 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    I bought my 04 Sentra 2.5s two weeks ago, and so far, so good. The cars engine is wonderful, quick and responsive. The back seats, however, leave much to be desired as they are VERY cramped. The fuel ecnomy could be better (Im averaging about 23 mi between city and highway driving). I test drove the Civic while shopping around and although a very solidly built car, I felt its engine was a bit boring and not very powerful at all. So, all in all, my Sentra is turning out to be a pretty good buy.

  • I only buy sentras! - 2004 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    I have always loved the nissan sentra. This is my third sentra. My sentra is a member family. I like the new longer front, the styling adds an elegance to the car. Great milage and excellent CD sound.
