Best car ever owned
My 1992 Nissan Sentra, bought used with 96,000 miles on it, has been the best car I have ever owned. It currently has over 225,000 miles on it. I have replaced the fuel pump twice and the alternator once. The CV joint on one side was replaced at 185,000 miles and I am going to replace the other side within the month. The A/C blows cold and everything except the cassette player works as new. It is responsive and holds the road well. It will travel at 90 MPH all day long. It does occasionally require a quart of oil between changes, which are done every 5,000 miles.
Most relaible car I've ever driven
My dad bought this car brand new in 1992, I bought it from him in 1998. Between the 2 of us the only things we have had to reaplce is the exhaust (normal), spark plugs and wires (routine), fuel injector (at about 100,000 miles), and the alternator, which was entirely my fault as I compete in car audio competitions and put a lot of strain on the electrical system. The total cost that I've put into the car is less than $300, it is by far the most reliable car I've ever driven or even heard of, I will never think about buying a non-nissan vehicle they are they best you can buy for the money, I also have a nissan 300ZX.
excellent
extremely dependable transportation and economical
What a Car!!!
This has been a great car for the family and now for myself as a commuter car. I'm not the best at maintaining my vehicles but this one os very forgiving. After 182,000 miles it still doesn't use any oil to speak of. I get between 35 and 40 mpg and that is with my last tune-up being beyond my rememberance. Other than replacing normal wear out items I have only had to replace the front crankshaft seal and the oil pressure sending unit. I've replaced front brakes about every two years but the rear brakes were replaced for the first time at 170,000 miles. Exhaust system is still original.
Good bang for your buck
The Sentra has been an excellent car and I have not had any problems with it except that the airconditioning stopped working after about 6 years. Considering what was available in 1992 for the same price, I think this vehicle has proved to be excellent.
