"We bought Sentra SE with 18,000 miles and it is now at 79,000 miles. We give it regular maintenance, no unusual troubles whatever. It is a kick to drive but don't expect it to float over every bump like a limo. The wrong size battery will cause a short from the hood contacting a battery terminal. Possibly this is why some report frequent battery failure. I buy an OEM size and have had no issues."

"I purchased a 2001 Nissan Sentra SE back in 2005 and NEVER got problem since. I love the exterior look as well as the interior. A lot of place to stock things, all automatic, sunroof, harder suspension and a lot of power. Of course I had to change the breaks, a caliper and a rotor....in 5 YEARS!!! We have tough winters here and it always started without a problem. I think it's the BEST sentra Nissan ever made! The 2L engine is undestructible! If you have to buy a used car and you see a 2001 Sentra SE to sell...don't hesitate and BUY IT!...BTW, I'm selling mine as my husband just bought me a brand new 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX...bought ME hein? :)...I'll miss you Sentra!"

"I have a 2001 Nissan Sentra at the moment and I had it for 8 months. I love this car and it seems to be pretty reliable although it has had me on the side of the road a couple of times but the problem was not expensive at all! It is very reliable and I ABSOLUTELY love the gas milage! I am sixteen and it is a nice little car for me.. The problems that I have had with this car has been problems that you will have with any car such as tires, censors, and little things like that."

"This car has been in the family since it was purchased new in 2000. So far, it has 96,000 miles on it. The first 40,000 were all highway. The car has never been that reliable, with the battery dying on me for absolutely no reason. The power windows, if they work, go up and down very slow. The sound quality and simplistic stereo system isn't very good. The seats always kill my back after driving for more than a half-hour, and I'm pretty young. The only redeeming quality is the fuel-efficiency, otherwise I wouldn't recommend this generation of Sentra to anyone."

"I have driven this car sence it was new in 2001. It now has over 150,000 miles on the odometer. She's a very reliable car, the only problem it has ever had was when the transmission went out at 130,000. The only other thing I have had to do to it is change fluids belts tires and things like that. Gas mileage is the best part about it, I get at least 30 mpg city and 35 highway."

"This car has had one problem after another since purchased. Spending approximately $500-$1000 every year on repair work. So far car has needed new tires every year -dealer unable to locate problem. Rattle under front end when driving/turning. Windshield leaks, drivers side window does not seal and automatic windows have needed work. Driver's door will not open from inside. Water pump replaced, air conditioning repaired twice. 2 Pulley's needing replaced (AC & Water pump pulley). Engine electronics replaced. The car was purchased in 2001 and has needed this much work over the last 7 years (150,000). Most of this work was completed in the first 5 years."

"The car was well built. I drove it in pretty abusive conditions and even neglected care for a bit, regardless the car ran fine and was real sturdy. It was solid and when push came to shove, in a bad frontal accident I and every occupant of the car were able to walk out of the car unscratched. For its reliable performance and for protecting me and my passengers so well I highly recommend it."

"Bought an SE new in 2001, so far has 70,000 miles on and have had no reliability issues at all. The car is fairly comfortable and handles better than alot oc econo cars. Has all the options I wanted and everthing works great. The paint on the roof is begining to fade, but I do live in South Florida with no garage."

"I've owned this Sentra GXE since November 2001. In June of 2003 I noticed that there was rust on both front door bottom gaskets. Both front doors were rusted thru the paint. Nissan would not do anything about it. At 33,000 miles the automatic transmission needed replacement, as well as the driver's side power window motor. At about 40,000 liles the passenger side power window motor needed to be replaced...etc."
