  Small & Reliable - 1999 Nissan Sentra
  By Kana - June 4 - 10:36 pm

  I purchased this vehicle new back in 1999. I am surprised I still have it after 128,000 miles and still going. This car has been quite reliable with oil and trans fluid changes. As for the problems, the sun visor cracked and I swapped from the passengeer side onto the driver side. Also the drivers side power window push-down button malfunctioned. I opened everything and taped it to make it work. The engine oil is starting to drip very slowly right now. It must be the cranckshaft seal. Ill get to it someday. I cant deny the fact that its a very reliable car for going from point A to B. In fact, I had owned 1989 Tercel and 1993 Civic. Sentra outperformed both in quality.

  Nissan does not compare to Honda, Toyota or Subaru - 1999 Nissan Sentra
  By willard5 - December 24 - 8:10 am

  I bought this Nissan new. It ran well and was very dependable...until the odometer turned 100,000. Then, magically, it became a money pit. Within one year, I replaced CV joints, tie rods, alternator, water pump...and then it developed an aversion to starting. Thats when we parted ways.

  122K, not a single problem! - 1999 Nissan Sentra
  By nissanalex - August 27 - 2:00 am

  Great little car!! My wife purchased a Limited Ed GXE new and I was not very thrilled. But after driving it for 4 years and 122K miles, I can say it was a very good buy. I should not admit this, but we have had no work done on this car except oil changes and tires. No tune up, no brake work, AC, no real maintenance. It hasnt seen a mechanic since 4K miles. No noticable interior flaws either. Im 61 and fit rather well. All the knobs and buttons are still intact. We have since bought a new 02 Pfinder and we have equal praise for it.

  Happy Sentra Owner - 1999 Nissan Sentra
  By ajent - August 21 - 4:43 pm

  This has been a great little car! I have had very little to repair. I have had to replace the starter, and fix a sticking left hand turn signal. I have almost 120,000 miles on the car. All other parts are original and I just got another compliment from the shop after my latest 30,000 mile auto maintenance. In addition, the gas mileage is quite good...hasnt lowered at all since the car was new! An added plus is the interior.....no rattles, and the upholstery looks great!

  Great Value - 1999 Nissan Sentra
  By machaan - July 15 - 2:00 am

  Ive owned this car for 60000. Repair costs? Front brakes, 2 wiper blades - thats all. Incredible build quality, no rattles/buzz after 5 years. Sufficient power. Plenty of accesories and hence great value with GXE limited.

  1999 Sentra - 1999 Nissan Sentra
  By TWill - July 15 - 2:00 am

  Great car, requires little more than an oil change and tires. NEVER have had mechanical repair in FOUR YEARS. The brakes are not even worn down yet! It is a small car though .... thats my only gripe, cant really complain about that!

  Good car - 1999 Nissan Sentra
  By tug - May 2 - 10:00 am

  The Nissan Snetra GXE Limitied edition is an excellent car and I have never had a mechanical problem save a sticky electric window. The drive from LA to SF is about a tank and a half and its gear is set to greatest acceleration in third gear.

  This little car has been extemely reliable. It has had required very few repairs and has excellent gas mileage. This Sentra isnt the most stylish car, but I am very pleased with the car, overall.

  Love the car. Quick for pretty cheap. Very reliable. It has soft tires-great for grip, bad for longetivity and expensive.
