  So-so car - 2002 Nissan Sentra
  By Blackout - February 25 - 10:03 pm

  Car had several recalls. Fun to drive. A nightmare to change brakes on. Definitely need snow tires in the winter if you want to drive in any snow.

  Would buy again - 2002 Nissan Sentra
  By Arizona - February 15 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car with 30 miles on it, and it now has 112,000. Unfortunately, a rear end collision is forcing me to give up a car I would have kept forever!! Very reliable, and just the right size, this 5-speed manual GXE has served me well. I kept up the maintenance like clockwork, and for that I have never had an engine problem. I am now looking to buy another Nissan Sentra regardless of the negative reviews I continue to see.

  Ive been driving this car for the past eight months and Im totally satisfied with this car. No problems, looks great and handles very well. Id recommend this car to anyone, I intend to hand it down to my teenage son eventually and almost hate the thought of giving it up.

  Insanly fun! - 2002 Nissan Sentra
  By gmbailey21 - December 30 - 10:00 am

  This car loves hills (thanks to high low end torque) and curves (thanks to the best balanced sport suspension on the market, in my opinion). It is unbelievably fun in the curves. For 16,500 you cant beat this car. Its so fun and yet so practicle. I average 26 mpg. Changing the muffler to a ravin performance stainless steel and putting in a Holley Performance drop in filter which will give me about 10-12 hp. The muffler is 215 at midas, and the filter was 38 at advanced autoparts. The holley pn is 221-14 and outperforms the k&n by 10%.

  Drivers (On A Budget) Wanted - 2002 Nissan Sentra
  By The Driver - December 30 - 10:00 am

  Needed: a long-term reliable commuting car, quick and fun, for a little money as possible. At $18K fully loaded, theres no decision to make. Key attractions: Altima engine, big for the Sentra class, delivers serious torque without a turbo- or super- charger; 6-speed; handling-oriented suspension; and driver interfaces for real drivers (seats, steering, etc.) Strangely, while this car is clearly targeted at the 17-25 demographic (black-netting-over-orange fabric, Rockford-Fosgate stereo w/ trunk mounted kicker box), it only comes with 4-doors. Fortunately, Nissan did a great job of giving the dull Sentra body a totally different SE-R look.

  Excellent car, excellent value - 2002 Nissan Sentra
  By Gina - November 22 - 9:13 am

  I purchased this car because of the good reviews and the great value. I liked the interior of this car much better than any other small car. Everything is right where I need it and I never get uncomfortable in my hour long commute everyday. The build quality and reliability is excellent so far - no problems. I would recommend this car to anyone shopping for a small sedan.

  My Pocket-Rocket - 2002 Nissan Sentra
  By Nino2138 - November 12 - 10:00 am

  This car is phenomenal. The ride is really tight but better that way than bouncing around all over the road at 100+ miles per hour. Today I reached my highest speed ever as a driver, 107 miles per hour. I only was maybe 1/3 of the way down on the throttle! Makes me wonder what this car can really do... I chose the color Vibrant Blue...the car really stands out in this color..(Believe me....Ive never had so much attention from the ladies before) I currently have 550 miles on it.....

  I LOVED MY SENTRA - 2002 Nissan Sentra
  By vwispos - November 4 - 7:34 am

  I loved my sentra, so fun to drive and it never left me stranded. Ive seen some bad reviews but mine was absolutely flawless. Inexpensive and great on gas. I flipped it 3 times and it still cranked right up. (of course it was totaled though)
