2003 Nissan Sentra GXE review from North America
"Decent little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I, ve had no major problems with this car. It hasn't ever been in the shop for repairs. t has some idiosyncracies however:
No anti-lock brakes- Any hard braking locks the brakes and you can easily lose control of the car if not careful. Don't get a Sentra without ABS!
The water pump became noisy around 35K miles. Water pump lubricant quieted it for a while.
The car is hard to start sometimes when warm. I believe this may be the fuel pump pressure bleeding out. If it acts up, starts on the second try.
General comments?
It is a reliable, economical, peppy car. Great gas mileage. Has a few glitches, but a great car for the most part.
