1993 Nissan Sentra SE-R review from North America
"A great car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A/C compressor replaced at 52K and 105K. Very expensive - Uses Freon R-12.
Replaced front struts at 155,000.
Replaced water pump at 140,000.
Emergency brake cable broke at 170,000.
Radio cassette broke at 40,000.
Replaced CV boots at 85,000 and 150,000.
Fresh/recycle air handle broke at 150,000.
Red paint faded badly starting at seven years old.

General comments?
This is a great car. Very reliable. A delight to drive. Good handling. Lots of power. Low insurance rates for a performance car. Car runs and idles smoothly even at 170K and uses no oil.
Seats and interior look good. Doesn't show much wear. Tire wear is low.
