  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.

  1998 Sentra GXE been a great car - 1998 Nissan Sentra
  By mab - December 8 - 10:50 am

  155,000 miles and Ive only needed to put 4 tires, 4 plugs, oil and gas. It is a great commuter car, tough on the body for really long rides though. Works great for my family of four. No ABS makes it a little tricky on snowy stops. Its been a great car over the its ten years of use... more reliable than my other new vehicle.

  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.

  GREAT, RELIABLE CAR - 1998 Nissan Sentra
  By sentrauser - February 14 - 1:03 pm

  I am original owner of a 1998 Nissan Sentra GXE and have put 180,000 miles on it over the past 11 years (I was 21). Back seat is tight, but have used this car going back and forth to school and work (45 minutes each way every day) for a long time and have hardley had any work done to it. Recently replaced the starter and alternator and the body needs help around the tires, but I DEFINITELY got my moneys worth and believe it would still last another few years if I got the rust fixed. Im sad to see it go, now that Im looking to trade it in for a bigger, more family-friendly vehicle. My husband even wishes he purchased a similar vehicle years ago instead of his fancy Chrysler Sebring.

  Not a happy camper - 1998 Nissan Sentra
  By carrotshibby - August 24 - 10:00 am

  i know how to take care of a vehicle. no matter what i did though this car gave me trouble. the engine went out without warning at 94000 miles. ive spent 2000 dollars besides that in the last 6 months in upkeep alone. it is very slow, small and uncomfortable on long trips.

  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.

  worth for the money - 1998 Nissan Sentra
  By chester - March 29 - 10:00 am

  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.
