I'm looking to buy another commuter car this year, and I'm having a tough time coming up with a better choice for under $20K!

2ND Nissan Sentra

This is my 2nd Sentra, the 1st was a 2000 with a 2.0 ltr. on a lease. The 2nd was to buy and keep and thus so far it has been a great car. The only problem i've had was to replace the CD player 2 times because the CD's wouldn't come out, but other than that 3rd CD player seems to be working good, thanks to a warranty. Since this is a 1.8 ltr. it is not as powerful as the 2.0, but the gas milege is pretty good and the car feels soild and comfy.

SE--R

2003 Nissan Sentra SE-R 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 4A)

Well, I have to tell you, this SE-R is extremely fun to drive! But, please, if you are looking at the SE-R, get maual transmission. Plus, the higher end SE-R Spec V is not too much more and comes with 175 horsepower, 6 speed manual, and other features. The SE-R is very fun to drive, but can swerve a little when accelerating. That isn't too abvious, and isn't that big of a deal. Very good job on the car.

No Cruise Control!

I bought this car, sight unseen, after a recommendation from a friend who had it thoroughly checked out. Not at all disappointed except for one thing. I have the GXE model and there is one thing that really bugs me - there isn't cruise control. This car is loaded for the price has power everything else including keyless entry. I'm not sure why cruise control isn't a standard feature since it ranks pretty low on the ladder of options. Overall, I'm very happy with it and would recommend this car to anyone who wants reliable and reasonable transportation.

My Old Faithful Nissan Sentra

I have nothing bad to say about my 2003 Nissan Sentra GXE. Ever since I bought my car in 2003 it has performed very well, just the normal wear and tear maintenance issues like tires, struts, belts, etc. Great, reliable car.
