1988 Nissan Sentra 2 Door Coupe review from North America
"I would buy another Sentra in a minute!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car needed an air conditioning compressor when I first got it.
Had a new clutch installed at 155,000 miles.
General comments?
Great gas mileage (36 MPG), very comfortable, even for a big guy like me. (6' 245 lbs.). It has never failed to start or left me stranded. I traded my 95 Caravan with a bad transmission and messed up electrical system for this Sentra. I though I'd just have it a few weeks until I got another car, but I fell in love with the reliability and handeling.
