Pros: Small Price, Cute Appearance
Cons: Many Mechanical Problems, Several Visual Problems
It was a cold and rainy day when we went to purchase a vehicle. We truly had not decided upon which vehicle to purchase and we ended up paying dearly for that mistake. When we arrived at our local Nissan dealership we were turned onto the Nissan Sentra...

Pros: Interior Accessories
Cons: The car itself
Nissan did it again. The 1996 Nissan Sentra is an okay car for the average Joe, but not for the average person. From the outside, one would think that the car was somewhat good to drive, but let me tell you... its so fun at all.
Nissan built this...

Pros: Lousy deal on wheel alignment.
Cons: good engine!!
Hello!
I wanted to express this loud and clear! Well, I owned this Nissan Sentra XL, a 1995 or 1996 model, and use it ever since. I am still using it. Words of caution are: well, my friends, I find that it is too troublesome on the American...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No
Pros: inexpensive, pretty good on gas, fairly comfortable
Cons: noisy, minor mechanical difficulties
The Bottom Line: I would by a civic instead, for the extra money I think you would get your moneys worth.
We bought the car for $5000, a 1996 GXE with about 50k miles on it. It had been in a minor fender bender and was repaired. The car currently has about 76k miles on it. The alternator went out at about 60k, we were told that it was built small and ran...

Pros: Good enough car for single, road-trip obsessed person like me.
Cons: Not so good for road trip obsessed families or anyone with kids
The Bottom Line: Do I own it? Well.. once I paid for it and get my darn ex off the title, I assume I will.
If you're looking for a review on any of the technical information on this car, I have to disappoint you. I know about as much about the technical bits of this car as I do about the Hubbel Telescope .. on a clear night I might remember where it stands....

The Bottom Line: Good value for money. Make sure that the rear brake drums and electrics before buying.
In this review I am talking about the automatic GXE model, which is their highest model. It comes fully loaded with power everything and cruise control. I bought it used in 2000 and owned it for almost a year. I sold it because I moved. During that year...

Pros: Comfortable, Reliable, Responsive
Cons: Sluggish with hills
I bought the 1996 Sentra because Sentras have a name for reliability. I had the car in the service department twice after first buying the car but have not had it in since then. The main problem with this model is that it does not do well with hills....

Pros: reliable
Cons: not for really tall people
I have owned a 1996 Nissan Sentra for three years. So far it has not had any mechanical problems (knocking on wood). It has had the brake pads replaced once, but that is to be expected on a car with 90K miles on it.
The gas mileage is great, I...

If you are reading this, you're probably in the market for a used car and this is one of your considerations. I won't attempt to try to compare this car to any other because quite frankly I'm not qualified to do so and that's probably not what you want...

Pros: sturdy and dependable
Cons: a little small
I recently finished a lease on a 1996 Nissan Sentra GXE, and was very pleased with it. I am not easy on automobiles, and this one withstood my abuse admirably! Throughout the 3 years (and 50,000) miles I put on it, the car only had one engine problem,...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Gas Mileage, mechanical stability, leg room
Cons: Slow, doesn't have hardly enough horsepower.
The Bottom Line: Recommended for starters. If you had the option to buy one, I'd definitely say try test driving it. It might just surprise you!
This was my first car. I bought it used in January 2005 and just sold it September 2007. For the most part, it was a pretty reliable car. There were only a few problems that made me scratch my head wondering. The belts had a problem of "squealing"... ...
