  This is a great car - 2002 Nissan Sentra
  By Woorham - November 14 - 5:13 pm

  I bought this sentra XE for saving money. It does not have keyless entry, power windows, but has CD and AC. Runs well, has 5 passenger seat, great fuel economy, so I guess this is perfect for some money saver? Wow!

  Honest assessment - 2002 Nissan Sentra
  By scottc - November 4 - 2:00 am

  This is my favorite car ever. I have had cars of varying makes and for some unknown reason, I love this car more than any of them. I have a nearly bare- bones 02 XE (CD, spoiler and A/C are the only options) and Im just as comfy as can be with it. This isnt to say all is perfect. The seat fabric in the XE is just embarassing - some weird triangulation thing going on there, but the cloth is extremely durable. Overall, an excellent car. I wish it were still built in the US of A (built in Mexico), but at least the engine and trans are still built in Japan.

  The smart choice! - 2002 Nissan Sentra
  By Niamhx - October 5 - 10:00 am

  Bought the car new 9/02, ripped 25k out of it as of 6/03 and its as good as new. Mechanically very sound little car, classy interior that blows Civic and Saturn away. Cant beat the price either and at 38mpg highway, its environmentally sound as well. Drove it from Charlotte NC to Washington DC during Presidents Day Storm and the traction is GREAT, I passed spun-out SUVs left and right. Worth your money.

  Solid dependable car - 2002 Nissan Sentra
  By David Bustamante - October 2 - 5:30 pm

  This version of the Sentra combines nimble handling, quiet ride, plush interior, and great gas mileage. Zero mechanical problems in 20 months of driving. The improved engine is problem-free and provides plenty of power.

  Incredible car! - 2002 Nissan Sentra
  By Antalian - September 18 - 8:20 pm

  This car is super awesome and fun to drive! The 2.5L in my Spec V pulls hard and always has more power to offer. Its surprisingly powerful for a straight 4. I drove it very hard on the 1st tank and still got 26 MPG out of it. But this car shines the most when you take it out on country roads and take some corners at speeds that dont seem like it should be able to handle, but it does handle them, VERY nicely. Im the 2nd owner and its got 85,000 miles and its never any problems.

  Its a great car for one person. or maybee two. I took it on a 3000 mile trip and it was fine. I also took for friends on a weekend trip for 600 miles and it was a bit small. Great car.

  Great car fo rthe money - 2002 Nissan Sentra
  By LI SilverSE-R - August 28 - 2:00 am

  4 cyl auto that can do a burnout....I like it. It isnt a perfect car, but I really love it. It has great pick up for what it is and it has awsome handling. Some other guy said spec vs handle bad in the snow...this car doesnt have that problem at all. never slides anywhere and I beat on it too. I had it up to 120...I think it can do 130. Overall I love this car. Fun, conveinent(4 doors), quick, had a pretty good stereo(workin on a better one...hehe). Great car for the money.

  Love the Nissan Spec V - 2002 Nissan Sentra
  By Tattude - July 5 - 10:00 am

  I have over 30,000 miles on the car and its only a little over a year old. I love to drive this car. Ive done every engine mod including taking out the balance shafts and grounding the knock sensor and Ive NEVER had to take it into the shop/dealership. I still have a smile on my face everytime I get in this car. Great gas mileage and REALLY fun to drive. I highly recommend this car to everyone young and old. LJ

  great - 2002 Nissan Sentra
  By gubernator - June 21 - 10:00 am

  this car is great, it has lots of power and is fun to drive. It cruises at 70 on the highway, but probably wont hold its value like Civic. Under the hood is bizzarre, lots of strange wires everywhere.
