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.

I don't think it's possible for a car to be any more reliable. I bought it in 2000 with 34k on it. 4 years, 76,000 miles later, and not a single problem. Not one! Oil changes, and new tires are all that has been required. This little car has gone from Wisconsin to Montana and back, Wisconsin to New Mexico and back, and numerous trips to and from Colorado, once pulling a U-Haul trailer! I have been more than happy with my Nifty the Nissan. Does lack power, but with manual transmission, you can just shift 'er down for that extra get up... unless the A/C is on.... then power is simply not an option.
