1994 Nissan Sentra XE review from North America
"Reliability seekers ahoy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car was brand new when my mother bought it in 1994, and she gave it to me and bought a 2002 Sentra when I turned 17 in 2001.
My Sentra never had any major problems at all. We took good care of it, and the worst thing that happened to it was the automatic seatbelts locked up because of a faulty mechanism.
When I got the car, however, I didn't put oil in it for a while, and the engine seized up while I was driving. We replaced the engine with a 1993 Sentra's, and now it runs like nothing ever happened to it. It even looks good for being 9 years old.
General comments?
I love my car, and I won't get rid of it unless I have to. It's more than reliable when you take care of it, and since it's considered sub-compact you can park in almost any tight space.
The Sentra is definitely worth every penny.
