  This car is fun to drive and very quick for what it is. It is a very reliable vehicle. No problem passing when needed as it is very responsive and quick.

  180K and going - 1999 Nissan Sentra
  By red chocobo - August 29 - 2:40 pm

  I bought this car used 2003, 91K and now I added 90K to it. Mean time, I took the car to the shop maybe 10 times or so. aircondition circuit $30, starter $200, PW window switch $100, exhaust leak 3 times, 250, front O2 $60. That is about it. Never stopped running, never fail to start, great for gas, and note that this care is the easiest car to change the oil filter. I do not think many people are interested in buying 99 sentra now, but I must say that you shuold by a manual shift, it goes OK over 2000 RPM, but if you really want to drive, you need to control the engine rev over 4000.

  Great car. - 1999 Nissan Sentra
  By Sean - July 6 - 4:43 am

  My wife bought her Sentra Sedan SE brand new in 1999 and outside of two major trips to the shop since the purchase, this car has been a workhorse. Weve driven it up and down the eastern seaboard with nary a problem. The engine is quick and quiet, steering is a little tight, but meaty which is good. The car did have some kind of degenerative wheel problem that almost ruined the car, but it has since been fixed and is as good as new. Problems are trite: the trunk wont open with a key, only the latch will open it. The car lacks headroom for taller drivers, and the cupholders are downright putrid. The car also needs a better center console and glove box. But other than that, great car!

  Nissan does not compare to Honda, Toyota or Subaru - 1999 Nissan Sentra
  By willard5 - December 24 - 8:10 am

  I bought this Nissan new. It ran well and was very dependable...until the odometer turned 100,000. Then, magically, it became a money pit. Within one year, I replaced CV joints, tie rods, alternator, water pump...and then it developed an aversion to starting. Thats when we parted ways.

  Great Value - 1999 Nissan Sentra
  By machaan - July 15 - 2:00 am

  Ive owned this car for 60000. Repair costs? Front brakes, 2 wiper blades - thats all. Incredible build quality, no rattles/buzz after 5 years. Sufficient power. Plenty of accesories and hence great value with GXE limited.

  1999 Sentra - 1999 Nissan Sentra
  By TWill - July 15 - 2:00 am

  Great car, requires little more than an oil change and tires. NEVER have had mechanical repair in FOUR YEARS. The brakes are not even worn down yet! It is a small car though .... thats my only gripe, cant really complain about that!

  Very reliable - 1999 Nissan Sentra
  By ljar - November 22 - 6:36 am

  This little car has been extemely reliable. It has had required very few repairs and has excellent gas mileage. This Sentra isnt the most stylish car, but I am very pleased with the car, overall.

  Love the car. Quick for pretty cheap. Very reliable. It has soft tires-great for grip, bad for longetivity and expensive.

  A few significant problems - 1999 Nissan Sentra
  By BBB - March 18 - 2:10 am

  I bought this car brand new in 1999. A few annoying problems appeared while using it. First, my horn would go off without any warning while I was making sharp turns (especially, on very hot days). Second, I had to change brake drums after 5 years of driving it (my Toyota after 9 years did not have her brake drums changed yet). Third, some exhaust sensor broke down, and my orange Maintenance light would be constantly on. I did not fix it, since it would cost me money and wasnt critical to driving. So Im pretty disappointed with the car overall. Frankly, Ill never buy a Nissan again. On a positive side, I had a really major car accident with a tractor trailer and I lived, so its a safe car
