1991 Nissan Sentra XE review from North America
"Great car and very inexpensive to maintain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have owned this car for about five years and I have replaced the clutch, tires, valve cover gasket, stereo, plug wires, cigarette lighter, speedometer cable, headlight housing (both sides) new paint, rear struts, all filters and caps, O2 sensor, spark plugs, both cv axle shafts, glove box lid and steering wheel (taken from a SE model) front speakers, rear speakers, floor mats, radiator, upper and lower radiator hoses, speedometer cluster, front brakes, hubcaps.
General comments?
A very good car and great on gas... this is the car to buy (1991-1994) models if you want to save money and gas.. there are plenty of parts and the car is easy to work on if something goes wrong with it... The motor has a timing chain instead of a timing belt and this is much stronger and last longer.. my car has 220,000 miles and the motor and manual transmission are original and still running strong... if you can then go for the SE or SE-R models because these models have the bigger 2.0L motor, spoiler, and sportier looking interior.
