2001 Nissan Sentra SE review from North America
"Mediocre"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Constant oil leak problem and overheating. Was told by Honda service that it would be the rear main seal and VERY costly. Serviced the rear main seal and it was not the problem. Head gasket problem, engine sensor light coming on, car serviced at Honda and Honda saying 'an entire new engine needs to be installed' after spending nearly $2,000 to service. Car didn't even make 100,000km.
General comments?
So far the Nissan Sentra is fine. Much more affordable than the Honda Civic.
