1999 Nissan Sentra consumer reviews

Bought two new SE 2.0L cars for my twin daughters. 1.6L is a dog. Only had to replace the starter on one. That is a pain. Engine must be lifted to get to it. Both cars have been in accidents, no health issues. Still have one. Over 200K miles and still going. A few paint issues, but 26 yrs old. What do you expect. This is my get around town vehicle. Still gets over 28 mpg.

this car was absolutely horrific I would never buy another one it its slow, breaks down, seats stink if its out in the sun to and it blew after I sat down in it. I then had to bring in to my moms house where that exploded my moms house.

My dad my dad bought a 1999 sentra b14 American specification limited edition DOHC in 2012, and what do you think, no problem in 9 years, even the owner who sold it said he had no problem just oil, spark plugs and stuff, it's a very good car for daily use, too It has an air conditioning that seems that you are in the north pole of the cold, also a very good capacity of gasoline so as not to refill it in 2 months, greetings to all I recommend this car [:

This car has carried my family of 5 since 2006 in an African country. We traveled across several roads some amply endowed with potholes. Regular maintenance and oil change has been helpful. I had to replace the engine in 2014. It's kept meeting our needs. Now it's become smaller for us. I don't dream of letting it go anytime soon.

VERY NICE CAR GOOD FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT AND GET THEM THRU COLLEGE THE CAR WILL STILL BE WORTH GOOD MONEY

Great first car for my neice. Sold them for years, can't go wrong with a 99 sentra no timing belt to worry about. Just change the oil regularly and see you in 300 miles plus!!!!

When I first saw this used 1999 Nissan Sentra with 42,000 miles on it, I thought it was too familiar as it looked similar to other cars on the road. I test drove it and found it to be solid, stable, fairly decent handling, a little rough on the roads but not too bad. Despite any imperfections, I purchased it, owned it for four years and put around 35,000 miles on it. Kept up with the normal maintenance. I even kept it covered with a car-cover. It got decent gas mileage 20 to 27 mpg; I know that sounds a little low for a 2.0 liter four cylinder but it seemed like it got better then that because I remember I didn't have to fill the tank up every week. Engine: did not have any troubles with it. It could handle freeway speeds just fine. Typical four-cylinder engine sounds when traveling at low or high speeds, not annoying. Didn't burn or leak any oil. It seemed pretty bullet proof. Interior Material: combination clothe and vinyl seats; as durable as these materials get; they are not leather so I had to treat them right. Fortunately, I did not get any tears, stains or rips in them. Can be a little uncomfortable on really long trips, but I am six foot three and this is a small car for me, it might be more comfortable for someone shorter. Interior Dash: Hard and soft plastics, no cracks or splits, instruments easy to read and operate. Transmission: I had the four speed and though it felt a little cheap at times I never had any troubles with it. Body: White paint, long lasting, no rust, fairly durable and even the clear coat was fine to the end. Handling: Decent, not great, I mean this is not a sports car, it does not have independent rear suspension, it is a front wheel drive so it tends to pull to one side on hard acceleration which is common with front wheel drive cars. But, I was happy with the way it handled for every day driving; though I tended to be more cautious in the rain, didn't want to test the limits of it's boundaries. When I sold it, it was in excellent condition due to the fact that this car was built well and I never abused it. I will say this car will treat you right if you treat it right. If I were in the market to buy a compact car, I'd consider buying another used Nissan Sentra.

We bought this as a 3rd car. I drive a Maxima and my wife was driving her Armada. She wants to minimize wear and tear on her SUV, so we got a Sentra for her. The mpg is amazing! It's a very basic A to B type of car. No frills whatsoever. Our goals were reliability and mpg. We bought it very used with high miles so our expectations were/are at a minimum. It has minor issues here and there, but it's age and use related - not manufacturing or reliability issues. Certain parts just need to be replaced on EVERY car made. For basic transportation, I highly recommend a '95-'01 Sentra!

I have about 140,000 on mine right now and it is still running great. I love the great gas mileage. For some odd reason though my clear coat started peeling off. I have seen this similar problem with other peoples cars I have seen. All and all though a great car.

I've driven this car for two years and have felt comfortable in it. I've felt that it is safe for my children and am impressed by how little maintenance we've needed to do on it. For what we paid for it, I feel like I have definitely gotten my money's worth!
