I've had this car since new. Now, 370,100 miles later I'm almost ready to replace it. There's nothing wrong with how it runs - it's just the little rubber things that are breaking down. The engine still has great torque - often I leave a stop sign from 2nd gear. Mileage is about 22 but sometimes I get the 27mpg of old days. The interior is still great. This has been a hell of a car.

I bought this car new. Fun to drive, has enough power, comfortable on the highway, interior is nice. Great car until an oil leak killed the clutch. Know of another owner that had same problem, $4,000 repair bill. Haven't decided to fix or sell.

Second car for spouse shopping use. Now too aged for continued driving. Car has been properly maintained including oil & filter change every 3000miles. No repairs required except change of tires, new battery, new brakes.

I bought my '91 Stanza as a 9 year old car from a friend 5 years ago. It has been extremely reliable, and repairs have been relatively cheap: repaired a rocker arm for $100 and replaced a battery and brake pads in that time. I finally sold it 2 weeks ago because there has been a strong raw gas fume/exhaust smell in the car that 2 mechanics could not figure out. I did replace the CV joints, but I figure they rusted out because I stopped taking the car to the car wash (got discouraged with the fumes). It got some body rust around the front fenders/door area, too, again because of the car wash thing, I think. I live by the ocean in a heavy snowfall/road salt area. A wicked good car.

I have driven my 91 Stanza for 2 years now and I will never sell it. I keep it in mint condition but I never have a problem with it.

I've owned this used car since 1993 when it had 37000 miles. I've since added 200,000 miles and, knock on wood, never experienced any problems with it. Nissan makes great engines and this car has made me a believer. A great car for the ages.

Around 200,000 miles transmission wore out.Try not to be a leadfoot with this car. If you want a fantastic town car for a small family with a tight budget, this is for you!I've seen a 1991 Nissan Stanza GXE withover 500,000 miles WITH ONE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION! Very dependable. Like the Energizer Bunny,maybe more.

I purchased this Stanza used as a second vehicle. It had more miles on it already than any other car I've had yet. It's been too reliable that I can't get over it. I have had new vehicles cost more in repairs in the first 20k miles than this thing has cost me in total. I take it on long trips without any concern. It's not a race car, but it still accelerates a lot quicker than I expected when I went to look at it. Only replaced one tire and kept up on oil changes. I've put over 20k miles on a vehicle thats older than some of my college aged siblings and it has put alot of money back in my pocket. It's not head turner or anything special, but I really enjoy driving around in it.
