  • Surprising drive and quality - 2002 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    I test drove a GXE in April but was not impressed with it, however I was impressed with the SE-R. In July I found payments higher than I liked and was persuaded to test drive a GXE with the Synergy package. I was amazed that there was a difference in the driving and feel of the car. I was trading in a sport suspension car that hugged the road and wanted the same in a larger car. This drove almost the same. I had a power sunroof installed and am totally in love with this car. The hp could be more making it better but otherwise its a great car. Dont quite understand how the "stone" color is tan though.

  • Best Front Drive Perf. Car For The Money - 2002 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    This car will absolutely smoke cars so many cars that are so much more money. Im sure all driving enthusiasts will get a kick out of the "Helical" limited slip front. I dont think another front driver(stock)can hook up its tires any better. Its really quick off the line. While the other guys engine is reving up youre blowin by. Front end also works better than any other Ive driven in the corners so its fun on the back roads too. So many kids (and Bemers) will want to race you in this car! -Its a lot of fun to own.

  • Best value car! - 2002 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    My sentra has about 24000 miles on it since last June. It is really fun to drive. I like the interior of Sentra better than any other compact cars. No problem at all so far and I just feel it could run forever trouble-free! I commute about 110 mile a day now and very comfortable with this car. Gas mileage is about 33 to 34 on highway with auto. This car really has the best overall value than any other comparable cars and its TCO (Total Cost to Own) is alos the lowest 5 years from now. If I had one more chance to choose, I would still pick Sental. 100% recommend!!!

    This is my first six speed, it took a minute to get used to it...but now i dont ever want to go back to a five speed..i love banging all those gears! My first test drive of this vehicle convinced me to buy one...I raced a 2000 civic Si on the freeway and blew its doors off!

  • dependability on 4 wheels - 2002 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    Ive had my 02 GXE for 20 months. Other than having the o2 sensor replaced 5 months ago, I had absolutely no other problems and this car is the perfect around town commuter car. Been getting 25 miles city and 35+ highway. Has good torque at low speeds and handles quite well. A good financial investment.

  • I GOT MY SPEC V FULLY LOADED for $18,600 - 2002 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    All I have to say is that for 2002, there is certainly not a better car for the money. I am getting 0-60 times of 7 flat and 1/4 mile times of 15.3-5 depending on the day. If someone can please show me a better car that came fully loaded with a cd player, 6 disk changer, 9 speaker system, subwoofer, sunroof, front and side airbags, ABS, spoiler, helical limited slip differential, and 17 in flossin Enkei rims, I would really like to see. There is no doubt in my mind that this car kicks ***. I am a junky for the turn, and if you like to take turns at high speeds, then this is the car for you.

  • great sports sedan - 2002 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    very fast for a 4 door, rare to see, takes right turns with ease and you can really floor it in the middle of turning on the street(not recommended). interior has all you need, exterior is clean looking, bumpy on rough roads but worth it everywhere else. first new car at 18 and best decision ive ever made.
