2002 Nissan Sentra XE review from North America
"Excellent First Car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Camshaft Sensor at 110,000 (Recall Item)
General comments?
Our Sentra so far has been very reliable, Very affordable to buy and drive, For the most part I've been pleased... Except in heavy snow, the car is low to the ground and gets caught up easy so it feels like your clearing the road... But I'm sure all other models in it's class would do the same... and to be fair the snow was over 6 inches deep. For the money it's a good deal, we also looked at the Honda Civic & Toyota Corolla their resell value is higher but the Sentra's purchase cost was lower. No major repairs thus far, it seems if you treat it well it will return the favor.
