2005 Nissan Sentra 1.8 review from North America
"Reliable, but horrible ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car gives horrible ride on highway. Engine and road noise is overwhelming. The car has to struggle to maintain highway cruising speed of 70mph.
Gas mileage is mediocre, only about 22mpg. I expected more from Nissan.
Silly me!!
General comments?
This car is great for around town errands, but for highway commutes it just plain sucks. The engine has to maintain high rpms at highway cruising speeds.
The engine vibration is too much to bear on long trips.
What a piece of crap,5th gear ratio is inadequate for this vehicle.
