2005 Nissan Sentra consumer reviews

This is my first car. I’ve beat the crap out of it and it’s still running. Easy to maintain. Quick but not at all fast. I would suggest this as a first car for anyone.

I have 2005 Nissan Sentra and it’s the best most reliable car I’ve ever had. It has 206000 as on writing this. Is a 1.8L automatic, I only have ever had to do regular maintenance but the car is so simple to work on, I have change everything all myself from struts, tie rod ends, sway bar links, new brakes front and back, new wheel bearing which are a pain because they have to be pressed into the hub. Also did new inner hubs. New axels. New fuel pump done by the previous owner, new alternator wiring(alternator still fine) idk if it’s been replace. I put a new starter in, new e-brake cables, new windshield. Original exhaust I just change the flex pipe and muffler. Never a single problem with the engine I just change the oil. Everything I’d say is regular maintenance and very simple if you’re trying to learn. A/C and heater both still work great too. I’d buy this car again. For 400$ almost 5 years ago I’d say I got my moneys worth as it is 2024 now.

I bought it used in January 2022 with just under 54,000 miles to replace a 2008 Forester. I've been very happy with the car. I use it to get to and from work, do errands, and go to fishing destinations. It's reliable and economically friendly with a nicely designed interior for those who don't need a lot of tech and features. I'm 5'7" 175lb and the driver's seat is comfortable with enough head and legroom. Cargo capacity, along with the rest of the interior, has enough room for me to fit a large carry bag, a good amount of fishing gear, an inflatable fishing vessel, and 3 fishing rods as long as 8 feet in order to go on a weekend fishing trip. It doesn't accelerate quickly from a complete stop, but has very good passing and highway entrance acceleration. The steering is very impressive, where there's the perfect touch of power steering to go with the perfect touch of stiffness to prevent looseness while at higher speeds and oversteer. The steering wheel is also quick to recover on its own after making a turn. The ride quality isn't all that perfect, but it soaks up smaller bumps and holes better than my Forester did.

Use every day for work. Great on gas. Easy to drive in traffic. Very reliable. Front wheel drive, good in bad weather. Easy to park in city.

Car met and still continues to meet all expectations, lacks low end power but the higher you go in the rev range the wider that smile gets. Peppy little engine, handles corners amazing with 0 understeer when power driving. Will recommend getting the sentra 1.8 with a standard transmission to get the most out of it. Car is very very reliable, and very fuel efficient.

Super comfortable to sit in, enough room for our small family of 4 (plus a dog) However, my car and any other Sentra anyone I know has owned, has had a lot of issues. I've had mine for maybe 6 months and I've changed the alternator, spark plugs, 4th cylinder coil, now I'm changing the rest of the coils and the head gasket and hoping it fixes the problem. Nissans in general seem to have a lot of transmission issues, and overheat a lot. All in all, I think it can be a good little car, but be careful when buying one used and make sure you take proper care of it.

It's great on gas. Comfortable ride. Plenty of room. I feel safe. Doesn't hesitate to get on highway which is one of the main reasons it passed the test drive.

This is a 2005 Sentra with only 117000 miles. Rare these days. Local dealership has been servicing it since I got it. This car was basically used for my sons to commute to college.

Included 4 Cylinders Automatic trans runs & Drives great . Fuel type Regular Gas It’s reliable quick starting & easy to handle. Overall smooth ride no malfunction indicator lights. New like tires & more..

It's slightly noisy as most sentras get sooner or later for for an 05 it's ready to be worked on a little but it's has 0 accidents and good potential.
