Sturdy, had two minor accidents and only the bumper is a little bent on one side. Agree with the guy above that the cupholders get in the way a little. Has handled road trips, cross country trips and long 5-6 day a week hauls to work and back with out a shudder. Have had some trouble with stuff that after 196,000 miles you would expect to fall apart like dust such as the CV Boots, alternator and starter, but the engine still runs great despite not being taken care of as it should have been.

I have had this car since 1998 when my first son was born, when we bought it it already had 72,000 miles on it (is a military car so us military folk put them thru the wringer). My husband and I were young, poor and this car had everything we needed at the time.

I will freely admit as a testament as to the durability of this car that we have not taken care of it as we should have, did not get regular oil changes or tune ups etc. But you would never know it, the thing runs like a champ! As I said in the title it has 196,000 miles and with only a few minor repairs it still takes me 50 miles back and forth to work every day, handles great AND gets 33 miles to the gallon, I would recommend the Nissan Sentra or any of their models to anyone who needs a car that can take a beating and keep on ticking!!!
