2005 Nissan Sentra 1.6 SG review from Malaysia
"This car is value for money in its range"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ever thing is OK, except wheel alignment a bit out when I first have the car.
General comments?
This is my second car ever since I got my driving license. Overall, it is a very good car. It has good pick up, good handling and very stable at 90km/h when O/D feature is on. The sound proof is quite good as well.
However, it isn't very smooth during gear changing compare to Toyota Vios (which you only feel minimum impact).
Its fuel consumption is normal, in average it is 11km/litter in city. Yes it is much expensive than Toyota.
The engine sound is very loud when I start my car in the morning. I had checked with the technician, they said it is normal as engine is warming up.
It is not very smooth when the RPM is above 3 (around 80km/h) with OD feature turn off (RPM will drop to 2 when OD is on and car speed maintain at 80km/h). I turn off the OD is because one of my friend told me OD will consume more petrol.
Other than these, it is very comfortable and a good car. I definitely will buy one again if my doubt of the above is cleared.
