  • Reliable and good handling although ugly - 1999 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    I bought this car used in 2002 and its been very reliable, which is important for someone like me who knows squat about cars. Gas mileage is excellent. The only problems have been replacing the clutch cable, a/c leak, and a bit of rust. The seats are comfortable and the car is easy to maneuver. The heating and a/c come on quickly and work well. The cup holders are awkward because they block the radio and clock. It doesnt accelerate overly well and my friends tell me its ugly (which it is), but it was a lot cheaper pound for pound than a Civic and frankly, a better investment.

    I bought this car 2 years ago with 65,000 miles on it. It now has around 100,000 on it. I has never left me stranded, and never let me down. Ive pushed it pretty hard on some long trips, and some times when I just want to have fun! But I maintain it regularly and meticulously. Ive had lots of compliments on the car, for example: "thats a Sentra?! It doesnt look like a Sentra....., thats pretty cool!" I love a lot of features on the car, and its practicality. Recently it has cost me some money though, and I think that it must be one of those "luck of the draw" type of things. This is a good little car though, Im not going to give up on it yet.

    I have maintained this car through out the last 7 years, it is in good shape and runs great. I really enjoy driving it. I plan on buying my 6th sentra when I am finished with this one. There have been NO wrecks in the car and I drove it off the lot w/12 miles on it. Six of those miles, were test driven by me.

    I have had this car for 1 year and 5 months and have had only slight problems. I had to replace my struts and exhaust manifold gasket. I also had to replace the ac compressor after 100000 miles. Otherwise the car has been great. I will have to replace the cv boot. I love this car it has been great!!

    Ill keep it short. The only thing I dont like is the location of the cupholder. And this is because, if using the cupholder, the CD/Tape/AM/FM stereo constantly gets turned off and on while shifting (5-speed). This wouldnt be a problem with an automatic, but in that case, the car would not be near as fun to drive. -=0D

  • Great little car, cute. - 1999 Nissan Sentra

    This is my first car and I bought it at 6 years old about 5 months ago. It had no problems when I bought it and still has no problems although Ive taken it on a several road trips since .. Pittsburgh to Philly, Philly to DC and back. It feels comfortable and is nice to drive and its small so its great for parking but not too small as to get intimidated on the highways. I love my car :)

  • Nice little car... - 1999 Nissan Sentra

    In 75000 miles I have not put one dollar in non-maintenance repairs. Solid, fairly large subcompact car that handles well with nice performance and good fuel economy.

  • Amazing - 1999 Nissan Sentra

    Cant deny love for this car! Great first car, original owner had it stored in garage. It only had 72,000 miles on it when bought! Prime condition, a lot of zing for small car!

    I have had this car for about seven years and have only had little things go wrong with it until very recently. With only a few breakdowns in 7 yrs. I have to say its usually very reliable. I havent gotten around to putting it in the shop for this latest breakdown but Im hoping its only something minor. (Its never cost over $400 to fix before!) In the meantime Im driving an SUV and missing my Nissan Sentra tremendously. I never realized how comfortable my Sentra was until Ive had to drive that thing. I cant wait to get it fixed and back on the road. Terrific car!! Its perfect to drive around town or for a long trip but I hate to load groceries in it!
