1993 Nissan Sentra XE review from North America
"A Japanese Ford.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Where to start.
175000 tranny blew
steering rack warped???
At 190000 my cylinder # 4 started misfiring. replacing hte spark plugs seemed to fix this.
At 195000 miles it started happening agian, turns out the injectors went bad. Dealer said 1100 to fix it, this is how much the car is worth so obviously I said screw it.
Clear coat started coming off on the rear.
General comments?
This car is junk to put it simply. I got it as a temporary daily driver after I sold my 300zx. my hope was that I would eb able to save a down payment for aother car. Well as luck would have it good old nissan let me down again. This car has given me hell, it rattles, looks bad, drives bad, won't aline properly. On top of this it only gets 22 miles to the gallon. My 400hp 300zx got this good of gas mileage??? On top of all this the interior uplostry seems to absorb odor. I have never once eaten in this car and I clean it every week. Yet it persistantly smells like crap. The seats are horrible, they give be lower back pains on long trips. To anyone looking for an economy car, do yourself a favor and get a honda, acura, or toyota. They are much more reliable, look better, and are usually faster.
