  I GOT MY SPEC V FULLY LOADED for $18,600 - 2002 Nissan Sentra
  By RICKY TAN - April 25 - 10:00 am

  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 SER_WIN - April 19 - 10:00 am

  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.

  Honest review - 2002 Nissan Sentra
  By rye3 - April 16 - 3:11 pm

  I just wanted to make a honest review from first hand experience. Bought this car brand new in 2001. First problem I had was a flat tire with but that was a easy fix. I had the oxygen sensor fix, ECU unit replaced all under warranty with about 60,000 miles. At 130,000 miles had the rack and pinion replaced due to leaking. Stuck at the park gear and using the shift lock to release to other gears. Currently have 148,000 miles and still going. The paint on the hood is fading away. Its a 9 year old car. Will have to replace the timing belt soon. I tend to loose power going up hills. Hopefully reach the 200,000 miles. Other than that a reliable car.

  For the $ its hard to beat - 2002 Nissan Sentra
  By MarkDriver - April 15 - 9:36 am

  I was trying to decide between a 2002 Accord or a Civic EX. Having owned preludes and accords in the past it seemed the way to go... until, on a fluke, I test drove the 02 SE-R. What a value for $17,500! It had the performance lacking in the accord, and the difference between the SE-R and the Civic is night and day. Value is apparent in that the SE-R comes standard with side molding, fog lights, spoiler, real rims. For the same price, the Civic EX gives you HUB CAPS of all things!!!

  Never Again - 2002 Nissan Sentra
  By neverNISSANagain - April 10 - 10:00 am

  Got rid of a 98 Jetta VR6 because I was having a ton of problems with it. I figured you cant go wrong with a Nissan. I was completely wrong. So far, the car has left me stranded 8 times. Sometimes, out of no where, the car just wont start. It gets towed back to the dealership, they dont know whats wrong with it, then they try to charge me for the tow because they cant find the problem. Crank position sensor replaced twice, radio melts cds, almost starts a fire. New radio stops working after 2 months. Everytime someone gets in the passenger seat and pulls the door shut, the door handle comes off in their hand. Terrible gas milage, 5-8mpg under stated #s

  a lot of car for under 16k - 2002 Nissan Sentra
  By Ayrton - March 30 - 9:33 am

  I have a SER with a 5 speed and bought it because it is the fastest car for the money. If you notice all these reviews are comparing the SER with RSX Type S and the Suburu WSX, these cars cost almost 10k more than the SER, and while I will concede it is slower its not that much slower for 10k less

  Fuel Economy SUCKS, but very reliable... - 2002 Nissan Sentra
  By jaroot - March 8 - 2:00 am

  I like everything about this car except the fuel economy. I get about 22mpg city/24 hwy... which is about 5mpg less than what the factory sticker said I believe. Other than that.. I cannot complain, the car runs great, and starts with no issues when its -30 below zero outside which is awesome.
