1989 Nissan Sentra review from North America
"A great school car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Timing chain stretch and guide wear.
CV halfshafts valve lifter noise when cold.
General comments?
This is my third sentra I have owned. All of which have had timing chain problems. Other than that it's a perfect point A to point B ride. It has surprisingly good power for such a small engine and is easy to work on too!
