  Just bought a Spec V - 2002 Nissan Sentra
  By Edmunds junky - June 17 - 10:00 am

  Just purchased in mid-April 2002 from Libertyville IL. The sticker was $18,800 for the Spec V w/ audio fanatic & sunroof packages. Ended up paying $18,000 even, which isnt bad (vibrant blue). The 6 speed manual is great, a lot of power. The ride is a little rough, but that is expected with the performance suspension, but overall is not that bad. The 300 watt audio system is great, enough bass, but also has good clarity as well. Styling is cool, 17" wheels look fantastic, agressive- looking front end, and 4-dr still maintains sporty look while providing more room. Overall Im very happy w/ my purchase.

  2002 Sentra - Nothing but problems - 2002 Nissan Sentra
  By Vicki - May 4 - 2:00 am

  I bought my New 2002 Sentra in December 2001 & I have had nothing but problems with it since then. I am dissappointed with the performance of the vehicle. At 200 miles the service engine light came on, and they had to replace my thermostat & gasket. Once the problem was fixed my service engine light came on again at 427 miles. Only this time the dealership had my car for 18 days. I have also had trunk release problems and the radio stations get bad reception. I dont know if I just got a bad seed or that Nissan isnt making quality products, but I am very unhappy with the car and would not recommed this car to anyone.

  Good quality built car, only minor details that have gone wrong in the past two years. one is the windshield wiper solution sprayer on the drivers side does not work well.I have had better A/c in other models but it does the job.

  Good, little car - 2002 Nissan Sentra
  By MichaelK - April 1 - 10:00 am

  This is the fourth Nissan Ive owned (83 Datsun 310gx, 95 Quest, 95 Sentra, 02 Sentra) and I am very pleased with this car. Im a shorter person and the car fits me like a glove. My friends who are taller (6 and up) are quite amazed that they fit so well in the front seat. As for the back seat -- well, that is another story. But after test driving the Mazda Protege 5 and others, the price and quality were unbeatable. Get the Synergy package -- its well worth it!

  Bang for the Buck - 2002 Nissan Sentra
  By Daniel/Sarah Miller - March 5 - 2:00 am

  I love this car. 2.4 liter engine 175hp, Sport tunes suspension, six speed manual transmission, sport seats, and everything you could ever want in a car for under $20,000. What could be better.

  Ill never buy another nissan - 2002 Nissan Sentra
  By jweller - March 3 - 10:00 am

  I bought this car instead of a civic and its the biggest mistake of my life. Its been towed back to the dealer 4 times because it simply refuses to start. the official response is that Ive flooded the engine and needs a $115 fuel system service. nissan corporate customer service is worthless. The paint is of very low quality, sprayed very thin, and has orange peeled. It looks worse than my 7 year old honda. Now it needs a $700 airbag module that is not covered by the warranty, at 47k miles! cheap interior is falling apart and showing signs of wear already. There have been 3 or 4 recalls, which I have not been notified of. Ill be selling this car very soon, despite being $2k upside down.

  I love my Nissan! - 2002 Nissan Sentra
  By lovemysentra - February 17 - 10:00 am

  Ive had my Nissan for over a year. I *LOVE* it. I have a GXE with the Synergy Package and rear spoiler. I put on about 16,000 miles this last year. Its a spunky car... so much fun to drive. Its great on long-distance drives. The customer service at the dealerships are wonderful.
