1994 Nissan Sentra E review from North America
"A peppy little car that shouldn't be overlooked"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Between 100,000 to 107,000 miles the starter, alternator, and A/C compressor failed.
My car also has a few oil leaks, one of which is pretty major.
I also had to replace a C/V boot at 101,000 miles.
The engine has pinging sounds during warm weather, despite the fact I use high grade fuel.
General comments?
However, the car has 109,000 miles on it, so maybe I shouldn't complain.
The engine is powerful and responsive for such a small car.
The suspension is lacking for a car of this power.
The catalytic converter emits a rotten egg smell in the winter.
