1990 Nissan Sentra XE 4-Door Sedan review from North America

Replaced left (first at 60,000 miles) and right (6-months later at 62,000 miles) drive-axles due to worn boot.

Replaced front brake discs (rotors) due to excessive warping. My brakes were shaking.

Currently the fifth gear will jump out while driving (problem began at 76,000 miles).

The engine surges a bit at idle. This is not a big enough issue, however, to make me take it to the shop for repair.

I purchased this car in immaculate condition (interior and exterior looked new) but with a "Salvage" title, from a friend who only drove it occasionally.

The salvage title was due to the car being in a flood in 1993, whereupon an insurance company wrote the car off as totaled.

This car is quick for it's engine size and so far very good on gas mileage.

The handling is stable, even in snow, with the right tires. I have new Michelin's on this one.

The windows have a tendency to fog up in rainy or cold weather. This is a nuisance since it forces me to run the air conditioner all year.

The cabin is not too noisy and the seats are comfortable, even during long trips. I have driven this car (without refueling) from New York City to Portland, main, only stopping for food.

The trunk is large. The only thing I miss is a folding rear seat.
