1996 Nissan Sentra SE review from North America
"An economy sports car bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Regular maintenance such as an oxygen sensor (95k miles $99), an alternator (100k $130) and regular oil changes every 2500-3000 miles.
General comments?
This is my second Nissan and I love it. The Nissan Sentra (by the way I have a 2-door) is a very fun car because I have the SE model. It handles like a sports car even though it's an economy sports car. My favorite features are the car averages around 40MPG the sunroof, low ownership cost and performance upgrades and it reliable and fun to drive.
