What a peppy car! Can't believe it's only a 4 cylinder! Got it as a commuter car at 172K miles. Spins the tires easily with the 5 speed. Can get frostbite from the AC, goes forever on a tank of gas. Just try and pry me out of this one! Handles great, a pleasure to drive. My almost new car just sits, as I'd rather drive this one. A surprisingly fun and dependable car.

This has been the best car, bar none, that I have ever owned. I am not the best at maintaining a car. I have had one set of sparkplugs, one set of struts, several sets of tires (once getting 80000 miles), never replaced the exhaust or the generator or the starter or the wires or distributor. I just drive the thing and it has never failed me. I would buy another with 100,000 miles on it and expect to get another hundred thousand. Ten years of no car payments and it still gets 37 mpg on a trip. I'm loving it.....

Review
My sister talked me into buying this car from her. not what I wanted at the time, but I soon fell completely in love with it. I put 50,000 miles on it (now has 175,000) & it has always gotten about 32/37 mpg city/highway. Replaced clutch (just over $500)CV joints(about $200) & headlight switch ($150), but that was all after 125000 miles & was well worth it. Love this car, rides so smooth despite the beating I have given it (a year of backroads, only changed oil 2x, never maintenanced it once!), just asks for more. Lots of power & kick for a 4- cylinder, handles great & eats up curves. Have to trade it for a 4dr since I had my son, but it makes me cry to let it go :( Bottom line: FUN!!!!!

This car is 11 years old and has been
great. It's comfortable, peppy, get's
great gas mileage and has been very
reliable. It has 150,000 miles on it
and has driven across the country 3
times with no problems. I plan on
keeping this car until it dies...

This car took me through it all, nice
summer days and bitter NJ winters.
Sadly with 108,000 miles or so, this
little pup cracked its whole front.
The blame can only be placed on poor
drivers in NJ, the only thing I was
unhappy about is that my car looked
like it had hit something going 65mph
and the other cars involved looked
like the actually event had happened,
a gradual 10mph fenderbender...It had
been through 4 crashes before that and
help up pretty well, the only thing
ever to go wrong was body work, the
engine has never given up. I LOVED MY
SENTRA...(still do)

Bought this car with 134K miles and
now it has 155K. Besides the normal
maintenance (brakes, lights, etc) I
had the clutch replaced (the cost was
not absurd). The engine (original)
makes regularly 32 m/g (city/highway)
and can run at 70 mph with stability.
It does not burn oil and I like the
manual transmission. Overall, it is a
car which aged decently.

This is the second Sentra that has
given me over 175000 miles with very
few problems. Early on, within the
first 30000 miles, I had to replace
5th gear on the manual transmission
and fix a problem with the idle.
Since then, just routine maintenance.
The gas mileage is still very good,
but no where near the 45-55 mpg I used
to be able to get out of it. Great in
the snow too. It has no problem with
New York and Vermont winters, even
with 6 - 8 inches of snow on the
road. Definitely bare bones, not even
a radio when I got mine, but what do
you want for under $8000 new.

Bought this car with 143,000 miles on
it four years ago after my vehicle was
totaled in an accident. Needed an
inexpensive but reliable car in a
hurry. She keeps going, going, and
going. The car has over 200,000 miles
on it now. Recently replaced CV joints
radiator, and oil gasket. Car has
great gas mileage, pick up but does
burn a lot of oil. Will keep her until
she dies but looking for a roomier
vehicle.

Very solid, trusty, reliable car -
first car I'd ever owend (at age 30!).
I had a bare bones "E" model (little
engine, manual windows, not even a
passenger side mirror!) but it never
gave us any real trouble. Bought with
about 25k on it and drove it for over
90k miles.
Excellent care for puttering about
town, driving to the train station,
running errands, even going a on a
road trip - but only if you were a
hard up college age kid :-)
Good fuel economy, high 20s MPG, but
that comes at a price -- engine is a
little skimpy and merging onto the
expressway full of SUVs can take a few
minutes off your life.
Only maintenance issues were routine.
