1990 Nissan Sentra SE review from North America
"A good work car or a good starter car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The battery quit working.
It might need a new clutch or clutch cable.
Rips in the seats.
Large spots of rust eating through the body.
General comments?
This car is extremely good on gas and ages very well. With a 4-speed manual it is OK with speed, but with only a 1.6 litre engine it shouldn't be very fast, but that's why its so good on gas.
It handles OK, but its lack of power sterring really makes hard corners a nail biter.
