Sentra GXE-The Jury is still out.

MPG is 20 which very poor. Perhaps it will improve with time, If not I will take it up with Nissan as defective and deceptive. Everything else about this car is fine. It's reasonably attractive inside and out, peppy, and comfortable.

Bought this car used with low miles almost 2 years ago. It's been reliable and fun to drive. Good pickup for a 4 cylinder! But fuel mileage is poor for a compact. I get between 25-30mpg at best. The build quality and comfort could do with a little improvement. Overall, I'm very satisfied with it.

Downshift in Quality

My Sentra now has 4100 miles and I am having problems already. I feel like the car is impossible to control at high speeds. As far as the summertime, the AC completely kills any power the car has. It makes merging a nightmare. Have taken to turning the AC off (our turbo switch) to get that power back in a merge situation. The sunvisors on both sides are completely inadequate. There is WAY too much space on the driver's side windshield wiper that is not wiped away (it makes a big difference when you can't see). My ABS brakes are starting to grind already.

Bought the car new 9/02, ripped 25k out of it as of 6/03 and it's as good as new. Mechanically very sound little car, classy interior that blows Civic and Saturn away. Can't beat the price either and at 38mpg highway, it's environmentally sound as well. Drove it from Charlotte NC to Washington DC during Presidents' Day Storm and the traction is GREAT, I passed spun-out SUVs left and right. Worth your money.
