1986 Nissan Sentra review from North America
"Reliability Defined"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Heater Core needed to be replaced at 130000 kms (10 years old)
Cv Joints noisy after run in with a 5 inch curb @ 30 km/hr.
General comments?
I felt compelled to write a review on my first car I ever owned. I have owned many cars since my Sentra, but this car was the most reliable car I have owned. Engine never hesitated on startup, even in the cold Canadian winters, or after a long sit. Being a teenager, I bagged it hard and it maintained its tip top shape until it was my time to let her go.
