2003 Nissan Sentra GXE review from North America
"Reliable, but sloppy assembly and unacceptable road noise"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Paint peeling off rear bumper and both side mirrors.
Glove box falls out on floor.
Check engine light intermittent on and off.
Doesn't always start first try. Always starts second try.
Loose body parts such as grill, rear trunk wing, rear bumper.
Road tire noise VERY bad, rough riding.
General comments?
Generally, a good car. Great mileage.
Reasonably comfortable, even on long trips.
