2002 Nissan Sentra gxe review from North America
"Not recommended"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Mass air flow had to be changed at 70 000km. The car stopped completely in the middle of the traffic. At idling speed, motor keep changing rev between 400 and 1200 rpm. Cost 639$
Front disks changed at 80 000km. They were torn and too rusty.
Mass air flow again at 90 000km. Another 639$.
Some lights on the dashboard burned out.
General comments?
This car is noisy.
The fuel economy is poor for a car with such a small engine. I'm having trouble getting over 400km with 40 liters during the winter.
Good point, insurance cost is low.
I thought sentra was a reliable car, maybe it was before they were built in mexico.
