This Year's Model Updates:

The Sentra has been completely overhauled for the 2000 model year. A better ride, more powerful engines and a new enviro-friendly version top the bill, and we likes what we sees.

Pros:
  • Powerful engines, SULEV status for CA model, 145-horsepower SE sport version
Cons:
  • Generic styling

  • Great car - 2000 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    In the last year i have driven this car to canada and back from california, down to san diego and back twice and a couple time to reno. NO PROBLEM. This car has never broken down and in the last year i have put about 45000 mile on it.

  • Excellent Sunny Day Car - 2000 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    This is a fun car to drive. Its got good get up and go. I like the styling, for a compact car. Great for driving around, when its nice outside. In bad weather or in emergencies, Im not so sure about this car. Had to stop suddenly on the freeway, the front end shook violently. Ive skidded a couple time on wet road.

  • Great Commuter Car, not for long haul - 2000 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    This car is great for a daily commute in city traffic. The CD stereo (180w 7- speakers) is great to help pass the time, and the gearing is VERY forgiving in stop and go. The gas mileage for a small car leaves much to be desired. I average WELL under the suggested mpg, and I am sure that I am driving just like the average driver. In bad weather this car is VERY dangerous...handled great in snow, but in snow, rain, anything wet...when you try to stop, make sure you have a LOT of distance, or a shoulder!

  • This car is excellent!!! - 2000 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    Ive had this car for about 21 months now & its been a very fun car. No reliability issues yet, thanks to the mighty reliable SR20DE engine which is also found on the Infiniti G20. Ive been up & down the twisty roads of the Angeles National forest in CA several times & I havent broken anything yet!! I love this car.

    Its a great option for those who are looking for a reliable, fun to drive car. Comparable to the Civic, but way cheaper! Totally worth its price.

  • Squealing/chirping noise - 2000 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    The car has been back to the dealer for 3 different recalls. Also, have had a squealing/chirping noise coming from under the hood. Dealership has replaced the belts, the pulleys that hold the belts, and the alternator. Noise is still there. Seven times to the dealership in a year and a half. Has anyone else had a similar problem to the squealing/chirping noise? Any help would be appreciated.

    This vehicle served its purpose, it proveded transportation. The interior noise was quite high at highway speed. The seats were very hard and uncomfortable. The motor provided plenty of pickup and the transmission shifted smoothly. The car is gone now after being hit head on by a DUI driver. The car provided much protection to the driver. Significant front end damage with little interior distortion.

  • One Problem After Another - 2000 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    Avoid the 2000 Nissan Sentra at all cost. I have already put a new transmission in and just spent around $1,000 to get an inspection sticker. I found out that the car was assembled in Mexico. I will never buy another Nissan.

  • good value - 2000 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    Looked at Toyota, Chevy, and Mazda before deciding on Nissan. Good value for the money. Great MPG. Car comes with all basics, cd, power locks, windows, mirrors. Sentra handles nicely and is peppy for a small car. Fit and finish pretty good also.

  • I love this car!!!!!! - 2000 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    I bought this car used over a year ago and i love it. It has great pick up for a 126 hp 4 speed automatic. It did have about 3 recalls but the dealership did all 3 in one visit. I do have one complaint. There is this chirping/squealing coming from under the hood. Other than that, this is a great car.
