1994 Nissan Sentra LE review from North America
"Cheaper version of 1980's 3 series - good performance and reliability at the best price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had the starter replaced at 65k.
Bad axle at 72,000 (replaced 2 weeks ago). That was actually my fault: I revved the engine in Neutral and pulled in Drive. Don't do that with a small car.
General comments?
I love how the car handles. Sharp turns and precise steering. If I set the right tire pressure I could compare my Sentra with a Golf or older BMW.
The acceleration is very good for a 1.6, especially 1st and 2nd.
I like the small engine, very responsive.
Good body work, very little rust.
35 mpg.
