1993 Nissan Sentra E review from North America
"The greatest car you can ever love. Read my Great Review"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oil Leak.
General comments?
It seems that most people complain about the power in these cars. When I first got the car I changed the stock air box for an after market intake. Since then the car is way faster.
These Nissans have a 1.6L engine, but they're Dual over head cams (DOHC) 's so they're much faster than any Civic. Also they use Timing Chains so you don't have to worry about replacing a cheap timing belt every 60k miles. Timing chains literally don't need to be replaced.
I've had my Sentra since 1997 and it's been one of the best cars I've ever owned. My buddy asked to borrow one of my cars to go to L.A. which is a 400 mile drive. I told him to take my Sentra. He was scared to, but when he came back he called me and said dang, I got over 40 MPG in your car! Do you want to sell it?
I've had many people ask me if I'd sell it to them, after loaning it to them for a few weeks. It's just a great little car. It's much more roomier than a civic and if you put on some Tokico (blue) springs and shocks the car will handle very well too.
I used to race my Sentra in the mountains and Mustang's and BMW's couldn't lose me. They were amazed my only modification was tires, suspension and an intake.
If your looking for a used one get one. For the prices they go for these days you can't get a better car that is more reliable and gets over 35mpg.
