  Lots of fun to drive w/o spending alot - 2000 Nissan Sentra
  By Killianinc - July 4 - 2:00 am

  We bought our Sentra straight off the truck at the Nissan dealership and have just fell in love with it. Its the perfect car on gas milage and really fun to drive! The only drawback was some vibrating sound in the dash at only 11k miles. Have since traded for a larger Altima. Overall, Ive owned 4 Nissans and have had nothing but great service.

  Long Term Reliability Issues - 2000 Nissan Sentra
  By dissentrapointment - June 18 - 1:50 pm

  I purchased my SE in 2000, with great excitement when it was first released. I took care of it very well. However, after 8 years and 108000 miles later I am highly disappointed in Nissan. I had to change my alternator at 70K, A/C malfunctions at 75K, and most importantly check engine light is on since 85K and can not be figured out why. Fixes are always temporary and its a chronic problem with this model year. Car has lost its appeal as well is its agility and power due to these problems. I would not buy another Nissan again.

  Excellent car for the money - 2000 Nissan Sentra
  By theringer - May 31 - 10:00 am

  I got this car new for $15K and have been completely happy with it. I wish I had gotten the moonroof and VLSD, but am satisfied otherwise. The exterior styling is kind of plain, but not bad looking, and is definitely improved by the spoiler. On windy days, especially at highway speeds, I get a strange whining/buzzing sound from behind the center console. No idea whats loose. Absolutely love the handling, and the engine has plenty of oomph. Clutch does slip occasionally.

  after 4 years - 2000 Nissan Sentra
  By jpmarie - May 14 - 10:00 am

  Overall, a fine car for my needs (highway driving, short distances). Have had four recalls. Also have noticed the sqeaky fan belt in the mornings. Dealer replaced it once and another place tightened it (already tight) but it still squeals. Wind noise above 65 mph. Brakes are fine for me. Comfortable seats.

  I love this car! - 2000 Nissan Sentra
  By kymountains - April 18 - 10:00 am

  Excellent car for the dollar. I feel like I am driving an expensive piece of equipment. The engine has a lot of power and it handles like a dream. I have the sports package with the 16" tires and the rear spoiler which makes this car look "SHARP"! Great car and one of the best purchases I have ever made. Nissan has made a name for themselves.

  Enjoyable - 2000 Nissan Sentra
  By Clare - March 17 - 2:00 am

  So far, Ive been extremely satisfied with this car. It has been reliable, comfortable and fun to drive. The springs are very stiff in the SE model and do not bode well for putting on makeup, but the performance and cornering that is gained is well worth the harshness of the ride. I would definitely recommend this car. It is quite spacious, easy to insure and fun to drive

  An Honest to Goodness 200K car - 2000 Nissan Sentra
  By joelw1957 - July 22 - 2:00 am

  I drive 91 miles (one way) to work. I bought this car for economy and reliability. I expected durability from Nissan. I have 85K miles on this car and have had one repair bill of $116. This car averages 30 mpg in town and 33-37 mpg on the highway (A/C causes the lower number). I have a 20 year-old son and a 17 year-old son. Keeping them out of my car is almost impossible.

  Just a great car that keeps going - 2000 Nissan Sentra
  By obx808 - March 1 - 3:20 pm

  Bought this car new in April 2000. Here I am 13 years & 190K miles later to tell all about it. Repairs have been few & far between. Lets see - 3 starters (weak spot on these cars), a MAF, a thermostat, a clutch (150K miles on original), both drive axles, an alternator and a water pump. Not bad considering the mileage. Engine still pulls strong and burns/leaks no oil. Manual trans shifts quietly & smoothly. All the power accessories (windows, locks, sunroof, etc.) still work - as does the AC. Overall, the car is aging quite nicely - I plan on keeping it for a few more years. Why replace something that works so well?

  I bought a 2000 Nissan Sentra GXE new. Now have over 133,000 miles and runs like the day I bought it from the dealer. Got 91,000 on original Bridgestone tires.
