  • Easy Maintenance & Great Mileage! - 1998 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    We recently bought this car for my wife to drive. It needed a bit of work, but turns out the car is very easy to work on yourself, and the parts generally cost less then most (mainly because of popularity of the car). I really appreciated the diagnostic computer that you can use without any of the special hook up tools to figure out what that pesky check engine light really means. The car does have some weird vibration noises at times, but we got use to them, and the previous owner (friend) has heard them all along. Great Gas millage as well!!! We get close to 38 on the highway, which is better then my friend gets with his brand new Honda Civic

  • 98 Sentra SE - A fun little car - 1998 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    The Nissan Sentra SE is a sporty little sedan with good power and handling. Its basicly identical to the famous 200sx SE-R of that year with the exception of the extra two doors that making the Sentra the more practical of the two. I bought it used only three months ago but so far I am very pleased with the performance and value I got for the price.

    you need to bring this one back it has great gas milage great car to get around in. I have 84,0000 miles on my vehicle and the only things I have had done to it is changing the tires and a 1 brake job. Not too shabby.

  • Love This Car - 1998 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    I bought this car when i was 16 for $600 at 223k miles i drove it pretty hard as it is my first car (floor it from stand still, top it out at 100mph on high way, take turns hard.) 4 years later, iv added 50k miles to it and it still runs great regular tune ups, tires, oil changes, and the only thing iv replaced is the starter, wrong with the car is the CV boot rips easily but i think thats cosmetic. i recommend this car to anyone that needs a cheap RELIABLE car.

  • SENTRAS CAN TAKE A BEATING - 1998 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    I RECENTLY TRADED MY 98 SENTRA THAT I HAD FOR FIVE YEARS. IT WAS EXETREMELY RELIABLE. I SAY THIS BECAUSE THE CAR WAS SMACKED FROM ALL SIDES. THE LAST TIME I WAS REAR-ENDED BY A TRUCK AND PUSHED INTO ANOTHER TRUCK AND I NEVER GOT IT FIXED (THAT WAS TWO YEARS AGO). AND THE CAR JUST KEPT ON CRUISING, IT NEVER BROKE DOWN, ALWAYS STARTED ON THE FIRST TRY. A SENTRA CAN DEFINELTY TAKE A BEATING AND KEEP ON MOVING FULL SPEED AHEAD.

  • Good car - 1998 Nissan Sentra

  • Good Buy - 1998 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    No problems in 4 years and 38,000 miles...nock on wood. And I drive it hard.

  • Nice Starter Car - 1998 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    This car was pretty good. The only thing I didnt like was that when having more than 2 people in the car, it didnt like going up hills. I live in Upstate NY where everything is a hill, so when driving with my friends, I had to floor it to get going at a good speed. But I really like this car. Its easy to drive and is very reliable

  • best bang for your buck - 1998 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    We bought this car in 98. No A/C, no power anything. Put in our own radio three times and going on the fourth (stolen). I dont agree that it has much pep. But it is very reliable. I just put in a new battery, and probably only spent $450 on it in 5 years (including tires and brakes -- not including other regular maintainance and theft repair). Great car, easy to work on, and generally cheap parts. I get 40 miles/gallon when we drive out East.
