2002 Nissan Sentra GXE synergy package review from North America
"Reliable, but lack of storage space and uncomfortable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A national recall was sent out approx. Jan 04 from Nissan in the mail.. It 2 recalls. Both for the engine, as the recall stated the engine could stop running while driving.
General comments?
This car is so reliable. It always starts up and takes me where I need to go. I have to give Nissan that!
I am 5"9 female, and the seats are firm, but very uncomfortable... it hurts my back (i must say I do have arthritis in my spine). I have tried a lumbar cushion for my back, and different car cushions to relieve the discomfort. I am seriously thinking of trading this in for something for comfortable, but have been holding out, as it is so reliable.
The car is so low to the ground, that is difficult to get in and out of the car.. it takes much effort.
Also, the leg room is poor.
