Used 1993 Nissan Sentra Consumer Reviews
It keeps going and going
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.
A Car which Aged Decently
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.
Awesome Car...simply put...awesome
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)
Couldn't Find a Better Beater
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.
Fantastic Car...
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...
