  A great little car! - 1998 Nissan Sentra
  By Tavel - December 18 - 10:00 am

  We just bought this car, but were quite impressed with it. I own a 92 sentra SE-R, and this is just an addition to the family. First impressions at the dealer were a bit iffy, but once home we changed the air filter and oil and the car came to life! It doesnt stack up to my SE-R in performance by any means, but it is far more economical and much more comfortable. This is a perfect commuter and road trip vehicle, it is economical and comfortable, this car is still fun to drive, and feels just like my coupe.

  Best 2nd car I have owned - 1998 Nissan Sentra
  By midhudson - September 4 - 10:00 am

  Clock just turned 90,000. Bought it at 34k. Still has original battery, hoses, exhaust, struts; clutch works like the day I bought it. I am having the fronts replaced next week, only the second time they have needed it. It is absolutely reliable, and I plan to take it to 300,000 miles.

  I love my Sentra! - 1998 Nissan Sentra
  By AustinTX - July 23 - 10:00 am

  I bought this car because I wanted fuel economy. Ive driven it on trips into the mountains and averaged 40mpg, which Im thrilled with. It averages 35mpg, and of course the tradeoff is that the power is a bit on the low side. Looks good with a spoiler, and I love the cruise control. Not very roomy for long-legged people (62 and above), but it works. Fun to drive, and extremely reliable. I have had no major repairs to do - oil changes and maintenance on breaks is all. Very quiet. Back seats could use more room.

  Decent power and good handling - 1998 Nissan Sentra
  By efenwick - May 17 - 10:00 am

  I have the automatic and have no problem accelerating to speed on the freeways, even with passengers and air on. The air conditioning is nice and cold. I drove on a 7% grade in the mountains with 3 heavy poeple in the car including myself and was easily able to keep it at 50mph in 2nd gear. The temp. didnt go up at all either.It also handles easily with the power steering. The looks arent spectacular but they are contemporary still and have some personality. Probably the best feature will be the reliability of the car.

  very relaiable. never had any issues after doing just regular maintenance. since the car is light, the breaks might lock some times, if doesnt have ABS.

  Quite an exprience - 1998 Nissan Sentra
  By Divey - January 19 - 2:00 am

  I used to drive a Honda CRX and my dads Mercedes, after my CRX gave up I got a Nissan Sentra. It was a totally different car from what I usually drive and was quite an experience. The way it drives impresses me the most. Once on the free way it just glides on the road. The noise levels are so low that you hardly feel any thing. Good gas mileage meets you can drive more. Although the pick up is not as impressive as a Honda but has a much better driving experience. The interior look are above average and you love to be inside a Sentra.

  Made to last!!! - 1998 Nissan Sentra
  By niss4eva - August 12 - 12:38 am

  I loved this car!!! I brought it with 76k miles in 2004 and paid $3000. I had to replace the starter and the radiator. Other then that I gas and went! No oil changes, tune ups, NOTHING for the entire 8 years I had the car!! And I drove it to 225k miles and I sold it for $600 to a mechanic that drives it daily!!

  Wow this car is AMAZING!! - 1998 Nissan Sentra
  By blingbling1 - April 28 - 8:05 pm

  I bought this used around 170k from a family member that took very good care of it. I have put 40k on it and its still going strong. Things that have been changed on it are the starter and alternator and regular oil changes. I trust this car to get me ANYWHERE!!! It has been in two wrecks since Ive had it, both not my fault. The last bent the trunk in and the insurance comp. wants to total it :( . Im going to fight for this car to get it fixed because its the most reliable car ive owned. I drove this car from missouri to florida 2 times now without any incidences. Clear coat is coming offf but what can you expect. I love this car!!!

  Sentras are Fun and Reliable.... - 1998 Nissan Sentra
  By jereski - March 2 - 10:00 am

  The Nissan Sentra is a great car. Even though it is a smaller vehicle, it has plenty of room to spare. The 1.6 liter engine is peppy, but very economical. Torque is great for a small car like this, and handling is very good. The base model with a stick shift is definetly the way to go. Dont get the heavier slower automatic....
