1991 Nissan Sentra XE review from North America

"The single best model in existence."

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I had a spark plug blow out, but upon backtracking to find the problem, the last person to give it a tune up didn't put it back in right.

My clutch burned out at about 128,000 miles. This was my fault due to accelerating too much without shifting.

The transmission had to be rebuilt at 130,000, partially due to old age, partially because I was learning on it and couldn't shift right for the first two weeks I owned it.

Paint job is worn - I suspect due to age.

General comments?

Gas mileage is extraordinary at 30 mpg in the city and 40 on the highway - with low grade fuel.

Even though it is an economy car, it handles fabulously. You can take a corner fast and with ease.

Though it doesn't get much power from its small engine, I seriously have not had any problems with it. Almost anoyingly durable.

In rough weather, it almost feels like it is a normal, dry road.

Cheap to buy and maintain - has had far less problems than many new cars.
