purchased-in-a-pinch

It 'was' ok for just the driver & front passenger. But there is no way anyone but a small child can sit in the back seat, with their legs between that seat & the back of the front seats !! If I have a passenger in the badk, even a tiny person, "I" have to be right into the steering wheel, which puts your knees into the steering column. ~ It is thee noisiest car I've ever driven. The mechanics insist it's just the tires making the deafening whirrrrrring noise. it has lots of engine issues... Money all the time... Recently it "looses" power when having to speed up, I get to move into the "truck lane" going up hills. Yeh, I know,,,, more money... ~ ~ I really want my Chevy back...

Would have bought something different

The car isnt really that bad but since i bought it its had a problem that noone has been able to find. i know it cant be a bad part its more electrical when i first start the car before i can put in a gear i must wait about 1 min because if i move it in gear it will shake like crazy and the car will not advance at normal speed. I have had the transmission check out but thats not it. When plugged in computer says its the crank sensor i have replaced it 3 times and still does it. besides that the car work fines.

The Car that empties your wallet

I purchased a 2000 Model Nissan Sentra GXE car a year ago and this is the worst ever car I have used in my life. Recently the car failed emission due to unresponsive catalytic convertor. To fix that issue it costs me 800 bucks. The reason is due to the dumbest design of the catalytic convertor as a single unit coupled to the exhaust system. So i have to replace the entire unit shelling out 700 bucks wherein for other cars it would cost only 350 bucks. I have already spent a lot on other minor issues the car developed in the past year. Inspite of fixing the issue and maintaining the car the resale value of this car is very less. I have used this car minimally and taken care of it properly. I cant say that this car is reliable but OK if your wallet is bulky.

Solid Economy Car

If you're looking for a car that consumes little gas, and is easy to repair, look no further! The Sentra is my first car, and has been a joy to drive. Gets great mileage on the highway, with responsive steering and breaks. Nice stock audio system. Fairly nice ride in the front seats, but the back seats are rather cramped. However, there is plenty of trunk room to work with. Great car for a first time buyer!

What a car!

I've owned this vechicle for at least 4 yrs. I have 173,000 miles on the car and hardly any troubles. Pros- Reliable, good on gas, easy to fix Cons - too little, terrible in the snow - sliding all over the road since there's no weight to it, very cheaply made vehicle,
