Everyready
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.
best car nissan has made
i got this car from my father a year ago when i got my license.my dad got the car from my grandfather.she has 157000 miles on her.she runs strong as ever. I've recently had the car completely restored and she looks like she did 20 years ago when she rolled off the assembly line.for me this car is not just transportation it is part of my family history. i hope to have this car untll it wont run anymore.it is in my opinion the absolute best car nissan has ever made
1991NissanStanzaXE
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.
One Owner
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.

Keeps going and going
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.
Best Reliable Fast Fun 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.
The great stanza
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.
Fantastic,Fuel Efficient, Nissan
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.
nissan for life
when I bought it it had 70K. previous owner kept it in great shape. I did not invest as much into it, but the darn car just keeps going. Just sold it for $800 at 135k. It is a great car!
Just won't give up!
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.
