  2 years old and still kickin - 2001 Nissan Sentra
  By Abeam - February 17 - 10:00 am

  Not a bad car at all. Relatively cheap and great fuel economy. The covers on my vanity mirrors have fallen off, but oh well. The car drives well, and hasnt had to be serviced yet. The Sentra is one of the best in its class. Not a really fast car, but it doesnt claim to be. I think my next bye will be based on performance. Ill be happy with my Sentra for a couple more years, though.

  Good Sedan - 2001 Nissan Sentra
  By Texan - January 26 - 9:00 am

  I have the Sentra SE for more than a year. The engine is quite for its class. It is fun to drive with the regular SE suspension, not the Stage II. The highway cruise is great. The speakers and the subwoofer are good. It does have rattle and squeak, but it is not a big deal. The Bridgestone tires are awful. The Pirelli tires replacement make the ride much better. The steering is tight and precise. The ABS and 4-wheel disc brake are wonderful.

  annoying but good - 2001 Nissan Sentra
  By thekid - December 23 - 10:00 am

  I bought my SE one year ago. Torn between hating it and loving it. Seems to have the consistent problems, squeaks, rattles, loose bumpers, weird noises. Problems I dont expect from a 16k car, even if its an economy car. But it starts every day, runs, handles great. Looks good. Paint does seem to chip and scratch very easily. Wish Nissan would acknowledge the common problems instead of the servicemen acting like I am the only one in the world with these problems. It is not quite like my old Civic SI, but then again my old Civic SI is not like the SE

  Like my Sentra - 2001 Nissan Sentra
  By mchown - December 13 - 10:00 am

  This has been a reliable vehicle. I havent decided whether I will keep it when the lease is up or not. Have had 3 recalls, and the only other maintenance besides normal checkups, is getting front brakes replaced after 3 years. The tires are crummy, they definitely wont last another year, even with changing them over every Canadian winter! The fuel mileage is excellent, and its a safe and reliable touring car.

  Best car I ever owned - 2001 Nissan Sentra
  By nogyoff - July 15 - 7:08 pm

  I finally traded this one in after 13 years, 135K, and minimal maintenance. The only non wear-and-tear type of repair I had to do was a replacement catalytic converter, which was about $500. It was a decent, ridiculously cheap, comfortable, extremely reliable car to drive and Ill miss her.

  Impressed - 2001 Nissan Sentra
  By ChasMan - July 5 - 10:00 am

  Keeping in mind that this is not a BMW but an economical compact car, my Sentra has been very impressive for the first year. Good build quality, performance, value, and styling are all pluses. Its head and shoulders above the Corolla in terms of what you get for your money, and the quality is very comparable. This Nissan is underrated, but if your looking for a reliable, well-built compact car, youd better look at this one.

  Interior is very small. Back seat is basically non-existent.
