Pros: Great visibility, good gas mileage, great cup holder
Cons: Wipers not ideal, trunk light?
The Bottom Line: I feel like I got a great car with a good number of nice features!
I just ended up with this car one day. Yes, I know how that sounds - but that's just how it happened. My husband and I, both proud Jetta owners, suddenly faced a dilemma one Sunday morning when my husband's 1996 Jetta wouldn't start. "I'll just go...

Pros: Great all around car, especially for the price paid
Cons: Tiny back seat, Cup holders block CD Changer
The Bottom Line: The Sentra, in my opinion, is the best car offered in its class. I would definitely buy one again
I've had my 2001 Sentra GXE for just over a year now (I bought it in October of 2000, right when the new model year came out.) I spent a lot of time researching car after car, comparing price, features, warantee, mileage, power, etc. I looked at...

Pros: Performance, handling, braking, value, features
Cons: Plasticky interior, tight back seat, ABS impossible to find
The Bottom Line: A good buy, especially for the performance it has. Very good features at a great price, though ABS is very rare. Definitely check it out if you're shopping for compacts.
My fiancee and I lease a 98 626 and the lease is almost up, so we went car shopping for a new one to replace it. The 626 has been bulletproof, but it has a lot of rattles and squeaks, so we decided on getting a new car to replace it. We've looked at a...

Pros: Nice features, 16 inch tire option!, 145 horsepower for a compact.
Cons: lousy colors, definitely must be highend to be worth it.
The Nissan Sentra is a good car. It has gotten tons of awards for its value, performance, etc. My suggestion is buy it high-end instead of purchasing a low-end Altima or Jetta. The SE with the performance package has all the features you won't find...

Why choose a Nissan?

Pros: Looks Sporty, Low Emissions, Low Price
Cons: Funky Transmission
The Bottom Line: The perfect combination of electric car responsibility combined with normal, everyday drivability and comfort.
Nissan has needed a redesign of the Sentra since 1997, that model was economical and affordable but difficult to look at. Along comes the fresh looking Sentra for 2000 – and not a minute too soon. However, Nissan has taken that car a...

Pros: Quick engine, smooth shifting, good value, warranty.
Cons: Noisy engine, rear seat room.
The Bottom Line: Although a compact, this car still has many nice features, a powerful engine and nice styling for a good price.
I recently traded in a full size conversion van for a 2001 Nissan Sentra. When I first got in the Sentra for a test drive I felt very low to the ground. The salesperson said I was used to the big van and that most everything would seem low. However,...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Power, braking, handling, luxury feel, accessories
Cons: Back seat a bit tight, small pass through from trunk to back seat
I researched every vehicle in this compact (and subcompact) class and the Sentra SE was by far the best value. The selling point for me were the 4 wheel disk brakes which you cannot find on any other vehicle in this class (i.e., Civic, Corolla, Protege,...

Pros: Great Value for the Money
Cons: Hard to get ABS/Side Impact Air Bags | Leather not Available
The Bottom Line: If you want a sporty compact sedan that doesn't break the bank, buy the Nissan Sentra!
This is a great first car and it can not be beat for the money!
Background

Pros: Great Chassis, Strong Engine, Reliability, Smooth Ride
Cons: Forget-Me Exterior, ABS not Standard
The Bottom Line: A great car for under $20,000.
I admit freely cobbing my opinion's title from a well-known auto publication, but I feel that this is the best description available for this vehicle. My other auto review concerned my 1996 Mercury Mystique. Sadly, this reliable car became a victim of...

Pros: Blast to drive. Good power. Nice ergonomics.
Cons: That engine buzz!!!!
I found this to be the best car for the price out of the Focus (a close second, but not as reliable), Corolla, and Civic.
I have just passed the 1000 mile break-in period, and the car is so fun to
drive that I have had to use a lot of...

Pros: Quick 2.0 engine, precise interior,great handling, fantastic paint job, great stereo, sporty 16" alloys, etc.
Cons: No leather seats as an option, that's all.
The Bottom Line: I'd recommend this vehicle to anyone who's looking for a fun to drive car with good reliability and craftsmanship.
After driving a 1990 Sentra (no problems for 11 yrs whatsoever) I was ready to purchase a new car. As an early sign of a mid-life crisis, I almost ended up buying a Mustang GT. But fortunately, I came to my senses in time and bought a loaded 01 Sentra SE...

The Bottom Line: Having driven a new Neon and a 01 Corrolla, I prefer the Sentra's overall driving experience and looks. Though I would opt for an 02 or newer Sentra.
