  Rattling is driving ME CRAZY - 2001 Nissan Sentra
  By Collie - October 21 - 2:00 am

  I bought my Sentra used with 17,000 miles on it. Overall the car runs great! I have had no major problems with it. I especially love the sporty look of the XE.

  of all the cars that I have owned the sentra has been the best by far for dependability. I currently have 230,000 kms on it and have only had two minor problems. I still get 44 miles to the gallon. I use synthetic oil and a k&n filter. the dealer i got it from has been more than expected friendly and helpful with great service. thank-you and looking forward to more business.

  Good car overall - 2001 Nissan Sentra
  By anlu68 - July 4 - 2:00 am

  So far I put over 62000 miles on this car and only in shop for once (last month) except some recalls. Its been great overall. If you are looking for a decent car to put 200K+ miles on it. Sentra is a way to go!

  Perfect teen car - 2001 Nissan Sentra
  By CelicaSentra - June 8 - 10:00 am

  This car has shown absolutly no problems for 2 whole years. It may not be the fastest car but it is still very sporty. The interior is very durable and the feel inside the car is luxury.

  BMW 2002 WannaBe - 2001 Nissan Sentra
  By lonster - June 4 - 10:00 am

  Ive owned an 86 Mustang, an 83 Corolla (rwd), 68 Plymouth Satellite, 97 200SX SE-R, among others, and when I found the 2001 Sentra SE w/Performance Package, it was all over. Definitely fun to drive, completely tossable, its a car that feels like simply an extension of my every sense... It was a couple of months until I realized this car came with a factory sub-woofer! A great car to drive, maintain, and own!

  1st nissan - 2001 Nissan Sentra
  By jazzyk - May 21 - 10:00 am

  This is my first Nissan (Sentra SE with performance pkg) and I have been very happy with it. It is cute and VERY fun to drive, and has lots of great features that just arent available on the competition. I looked seriously at the Civic as my last car was an Accord that I absolutely loved - but the Civic just couldnt hold a candle to the Sentra. Now that was before the Si came out - so maybe now it does, I dont know. The only caveat I have is the paint. It chips if you even look at it wrong. I will probably be repainting the whole car in the next year because of this. But other than that I love it!

  Still got legs - 2001 Nissan Sentra
  By jknecht1 - May 1 - 2:55 am

  I bought this car new in late 2000 and over 100K it hasnt ever let me down. With the manual trans, its consistently a blast to drive. It has had minimal problems over the years, mostly incidental. Never any engine issues. Replaced O2 sesors, brakes, tires, fixed window motors, and the CD player is dead, and a tree fell on it and scratched the heck out of the paint (which was always a weak point) but I still cant justify giving this baby up! What Id get for it would never reflect the true value of this car!

  Great car for the price - 2001 Nissan Sentra
  By Driver21 - April 16 - 10:00 am

  I bought my 01 Sentra SE in 00 because I needed an affordable, reliable new car to get me to school and work. It has done exactly that. I have brought it in exclusively for oil changes and regular service to the dealership,+ a recall. I see people are complaining about the quality of paint, tires, rattles, etc. I personally have not had any of those problems yet, and my car has 49,350 miles, and still have the original, although balding tires. I would also advise to get a manual trans if you are not sure. I bought the auto because I commute in traffic a lot, but can not wait to get a stick car.

  Perfect car - 81 000 miles - not a single problem so far. I regret that I purchased extended warranty :)
