  Review after 5 years, 80k miles - 1999 Nissan Sentra
  By t-bizzzle - September 22 - 8:03 am

  I bought this car with 60k miles on it and now it has 140k. Its been good to me, but it has its quirks. Im 6-2, 230, and I find this car comfortable. Its been a pretty reliable car too. The only breakdown was when my water pump went out. Beware that this car has trouble starting at high altitude. I need to put my foot on the gas when I start my car or it will stall and will not start up again. If I forget to put my foot on the gas when I start it I have to floor it and crank the engine for about 60 seconds. Ive only forgotten to hit the gas about 3 times, so its not that big of a deal to me.

  Small & Reliable - 1999 Nissan Sentra
  By Kana - June 4 - 10:36 pm

  I purchased this vehicle new back in 1999. I am surprised I still have it after 128,000 miles and still going. This car has been quite reliable with oil and trans fluid changes. As for the problems, the sun visor cracked and I swapped from the passengeer side onto the driver side. Also the drivers side power window push-down button malfunctioned. I opened everything and taped it to make it work. The engine oil is starting to drip very slowly right now. It must be the cranckshaft seal. Ill get to it someday. I cant deny the fact that its a very reliable car for going from point A to B. In fact, I had owned 1989 Tercel and 1993 Civic. Sentra outperformed both in quality.

  Perfect Teenage car! - 1999 Nissan Sentra
  By fm5720 - February 11 - 12:24 am

  This is it. This is the car for any first time drivers. This is the teen car! Nothing too fancy, but it gets you from A to B. The problems though was that I had a crack in the coolant pipe. I have an exhaust leak right now and it drags my rpm down because of it. The driver window is dying and I cant open the trunk with my key. Some rust spots here and there. My belt is making an awful squeaking noise and I think Im going to have to change my alternator soon. In all this car holds up to the abuse of the teenage driver. Great gas mileage, great on highway, easy to negate in almost every tight spot. Its good car but not perfect....unless its for a teenager.
