1995 Nissan Sentra review from North America

Recently repainted (before I got it), was starting to fade.

176,000 miles: Clutch replaced, $400 repair.

Battery/brake lights come on when engine gets above about 3500 rpm.

Slight oil leak, none on the driveway, but constant wet oily spot on the bottom of the engine.

Stock stereo got cassette stuck in it. Replaced with aftermarket stereo.

Gasoline door easily bends out of shape. A few knocks with a hammer (on the unpainted side) soon fixed it.

Paid $3,000, which seemed to be a fair price according to blue book.

The interior of the car is amazing... for the size, there is a lot of leg room, both in the front and back seats. The seats are relatively comfortable and have worn well, though they may soon need seat covers.

The engine is quiet, transmission easy to shift, but I wish it had a tachometer.

Too bad I had to replace the clutch, but after 176K miles, I can't complain too much. It was a fairly cheap repair. If I had a place to do it, I would have done it myself, as there is easy access to the engine and transmission.

I don't like the stock 13 inch wheels, wish it had 14 - 15 inch wheels.

Brakes are good, not spongey, don't squeak.

The heater is very powerfull.

Starts well in cold weather (5-10 degrees fahrenheit), and runs well as long as it warms up for a few minutes.

I don't like the keyless entry and the auto-locking doors. If the car is on and the door is shut, it locks. Had a few incidents with being locked out of my car while it was running...

It's not very fast, but it is a smooth ride, even at ~80-85 MPH.

Wish it had a sixth gear.
