  Extremely Reliable Transportation - 1999 Nissan Sentra
  By nwhiker - April 15 - 10:00 am

  I bought my first Nissan, a 1999 Sentra GXE a couple years ago. It has been a great car. Freeway driving (only) has yielded 50+ mpg. Combined city and highway has averaged 36 mpg. It brakes very accurately and handles well. The 95-99 Sentras werent great sellers, but its hard to understand why. More comfortable than the Civic and Corolla.

  Great Car - 1999 Nissan Sentra
  By GEM-NEY - October 19 - 2:50 pm

  My 1999 Nissan Sentra has been a great car. I use it to commute to work and school. I have been getting great mileage. If you are familiar with the Bay Area, I can make it from San Jose to San Francisco and back on only a quarter tank of gas. This is a very comfortable car.

  What an awesome car!! - 1999 Nissan Sentra
  By Jeremy27 - October 17 - 10:00 am

  I dont think its possible for a car to be any more reliable. I bought it in 2000 with 34k on it. 4 years, 76,000 miles later, and not a single problem. Not one! Oil changes, and new tires are all that has been required. This little car has gone from Wisconsin to Montana and back, Wisconsin to New Mexico and back, and numerous trips to and from Colorado, once pulling a U-Haul trailer! I have been more than happy with my Nifty the Nissan. Does lack power, but with manual transmission, you can just shift er down for that extra get up... unless the A/C is on.... then power is simply not an option.

  By Saideh - June 24 - 6:06 am

  This was my second car. I bought it new 6 years ago, when I was a still a teen. Now Im thinking of passing it on to my little sis because it has been very reliable, never a single mechanical problem and has great gas mileage.

  Best Car Ever - 1999 Nissan Sentra
  By snoboardfreak04 - October 22 - 8:13 am

  I purchased this vehicle from a single owner. It is GREAT in the snow. Its well maintained and regularly gets 40+ MPG city and 50s MPG on the highway. Im not sure how its fuel rating is only shown as 29. Only major mechanical issues up to 150,000 miles have been 2 sets of struts, 1 water pump, and a clutch replacement. Its an absolutely amazing, reliable car.

  122K, not a single problem! - 1999 Nissan Sentra
  By nissanalex - August 27 - 2:00 am

  Great little car!! My wife purchased a Limited Ed GXE new and I was not very thrilled. But after driving it for 4 years and 122K miles, I can say it was a very good buy. I should not admit this, but we have had no work done on this car except oil changes and tires. No tune up, no brake work, AC, no real maintenance. It hasnt seen a mechanic since 4K miles. No noticable interior flaws either. Im 61 and fit rather well. All the knobs and buttons are still intact. We have since bought a new 02 Pfinder and we have equal praise for it.

  Happy Sentra Owner - 1999 Nissan Sentra
  By ajent - August 21 - 4:43 pm

  This has been a great little car! I have had very little to repair. I have had to replace the starter, and fix a sticking left hand turn signal. I have almost 120,000 miles on the car. All other parts are original and I just got another compliment from the shop after my latest 30,000 mile auto maintenance. In addition, the gas mileage is quite good...hasnt lowered at all since the car was new! An added plus is the interior.....no rattles, and the upholstery looks great!

  Good car - 1999 Nissan Sentra
  By tug - May 2 - 10:00 am

  The Nissan Snetra GXE Limitied edition is an excellent car and I have never had a mechanical problem save a sticky electric window. The drive from LA to SF is about a tank and a half and its gear is set to greatest acceleration in third gear.

  This Model Lives Up - 1999 Nissan Sentra
  By Nat - July 15 - 6:36 pm

  I purchased my 1999 Nissan GXE new right off the lot. It handled great and fit my budget plus the warranty was decent. I added a rear spoiler and a nose mask to give it a somewhat sportier look. Other than basic maintenance (oil changes, new tires, etc.) I have yet to be let down by this car. And it has traveled quit a bit from state-to-state! Only issues: I had water leaking onto the front passenger driving mats when it rained heavily and the driver side power window died around 50000 miles. Neither was a major problem to fix. Most recently the key started sticking in the trunk (65000 miles) and the driver side visor broke (80000) but those are not major or costly issues to deal with.
