1986 Nissan Sentra EX Wagon review from North America
"A cheap little car, with good gas mileage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Dashboard is falling apart.
New clutch at 175000 miles.
Hatch will not open.
Will not start in sub zero temperatures.
New CV boot on front left tire.
New muffler, but only because I went over a large bump and tore it off :)
General comments?
This car is basic transportation at it's best. It stops, it starts, it's very reliable and gets great gas mileage 30 mpg city driving. The down sides is that it is ugly and that people taller than 6'2 or 6'3 will not be able to sit in the car without their head hitting the celing.
