1993 Nissan Sentra SE-r review from North America
"There is no comparison for the money... period!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
C V boot replaced at 50,000 miles.
Alternator at 150,000.
General comments?
The se-r model sentra represents about 5% of all sentras made in 1991-1998!
This car is awesome!
The 1.6l sentra can't get out of its own way, but the 2.0 engine hauls butt! The sr20de engine was originaly designed for the Infinity G20, but Nissan decided to also put it in the newly redesigned sentra. Weighing in at 300lb less than the G20 the sentra is very nimble. The motor is all aluminum and puts 120HP (stock) at the wheels (140HP claim from the factory). Along with the horsepower the torque is amazing, coming in at about 118 stock (you won't get that amount of torque from your Honda!) This engine has proven to last (ant still make the same power) over 300,000 miles with normal to hard use!
