Used 1999 Nissan Sentra Consumer Reviews
1999 Sentra
Great car, requires little more than an oil change and tires. NEVER have had mechanical repair in FOUR YEARS. The brakes are not even worn down yet! It is a small car though .... thats my only gripe, cant really complain about that!
Perfect Teenage car!
This is it. This is the car for any first time drivers. This is the teen car! Nothing too fancy, but it gets you from A to B. The problems though was that I had a crack in the coolant pipe. I have an exhaust leak right now and it drags my rpm down because of it. The driver window is dying and I can't open the trunk with my key. Some rust spots here and there. My belt is making an awful squeaking noise and I think I'm going to have to change my alternator soon. In all this car holds up to the abuse of the teenage driver. Great gas mileage, great on highway, easy to negate in almost every tight spot. Its good car but not perfect....unless its for a teenager.

Great Value
I've owned this car for 60000. Repair costs? Front brakes, 2 wiper blades - that's all. Incredible build quality, no rattles/buzz after 5 years. Sufficient power. Plenty of accesories and hence great value with GXE limited.
122K, not a single problem!
Great little car!! My wife purchased a Limited Ed GXE new and I was not very thrilled. But after driving it for 4 years and 122K miles, I can say it was a very good buy. I should not admit this, but we have had no work done on this car except oil changes and tires. No tune up, no brake work, AC, no real maintenance. It hasn't seen a mechanic since 4K miles. No noticable interior flaws either. I'm 6'1 and fit rather well. All the knobs and buttons are still intact. We have since bought a new 02 P'finder and we have equal praise for it.
Extremely Reliable Transportation
I bought my first Nissan, a 1999 Sentra GXE a couple years ago. It has been a great car. Freeway driving (only) has yielded 50+ mpg. Combined city and highway has averaged 36 mpg. It brakes very accurately and handles well. The 95-99 Sentras weren't great sellers, but it's hard to understand why. More comfortable than the Civic and Corolla.
