1994 Nissan Sentra E review from North America

Changed starter at 140000 and at 230000.

A/C compressor died at 180000.

A/C Evaporator leaking.

Changed thermostat at 135000.

Changed alternator at 230000.

Changed both front axles at 150000.

Corners very well for a car like this.

Usual stuff like left head lamp, both tail lamps and front right turn lamp changed.

Haven't seen a car this reliable.

Park outside at -30 degrees celcius avernight, starts in a single crank. (I think that's why had to change starter twice).

Admirable power for an engine this size.

Nissan stopped making this engine (GA16DE) otherwise would have bought another one like this. Don't know how good is the new Sentra engine (1.8L).

Auto has a smooth shift unless gas pushed aggressively.

Front passenger is very roomy, but rear is crimped.

Less engine noise than Corolla and Civic, but more road noise. Highway ride is relatively quite specially with overdrive engaged.

Very good basic transportation.

Upto 200000, used to give me about 20km/litre on highway (5litres/100kms). The fuel average has gone down recently. I am sure it needs a tune up.

I think after about 10000km more, I'll have to change the front axles again. I don't mind.
