1995 Nissan Sentra

Pros: dependability, low cost

Cons: underpowered engine

Review: We bought our 1995 Nissan Sentra GLE new in August 1995, in Phoenix, Arizona. It has been a very reliable, affordable, and comfortable car for this category.

We previously owned a 1991 Sentra E, which was also a very good and basic car. The...

Pros: Reliability, gas mileage, fit and finish, options

Cons: factory tires, front seat lateral support, brakes

The Bottom Line: This car has treated me very well over the last six years, and I highly recommend it for its uncommon blend of reliability, cost, performance, and comfort.

Review: I bought the 1995 Sentra GLE new in July, 1995, and it has been a delight ever since. It has 90K miles on it now, and has never given me a day’s trouble. It still gets over 30 MPG, even when driven briskly -- best mileage was 52 MPG on the highway. By...

Pros: Reliability, Performance, Road Handling, Comfort, Economy

Cons: Engine slightly revy inside cabin, no glove compartment light!

Review: The 1st car I truly owned was a 1984 Nissan Sunny/Sentra I purchased in 1994 at an auction for $2300(NZ). I needed a new car as the one my parent's first bought me died. The Nissan blew copious quantities of smoke, the paint work had faded away and the...

Pros: Car looks great and packs a big punch for a little car

Cons: No armrest and small cup holders

Review: I bought this vehicle because my old sentra was starting to get old. I had a Sentra before and I knew that Nissan Sentras had a good reputation for lasting a long time. When I first saw this car I fell in love with it. It had a nice body style and...

Pros: Very reliable

Cons: not luxurious

Review: I bought this car in 1995, and I've never had any problems with it at all. It still runs and looks just like new. I bought the car because it had excellent reviews in all the consumer reports I read, and I fell in love with it when I test drove it. It...

Pros: fast, reliable

Cons: none

Review: The Nissan Sentra is the base model for the Nissan 200 sx which is a great car. The 200 sx is a reliable car that I have never had to take into the shop except for tuneups. It's a 1995 and runs like a 2000. The engine is quiet and not to mention...

Pros: style, good in snow

Cons: expensive parts/maintenance

Review: I bought a 1995 used Sentra in late 1997 with 28K miles. It's loaded with sunroof, alarm, power everything. I've been so pleased with it, even though I was skeptical, trading in my Toyota Corolla with 120K miles.

Good points: It handles...

Pros: affordable, stylish, comfortable

Cons: check engine light will come on

Review: The Nissan Sentra is a great car. It is comfortable and rides very good. I originally chose this car because I worked for a Nissan dealership, but since then have left the company. I have owned the car for approximately five years now and have only...

Pros: Price, Manual Transmission, Small Turning Radius

Cons: Low Power, Unreliable Transmission(s)

The Bottom Line: If you're looking for economical instead of powerful or luxurious, this care is worth considering.

Review: I bought my Sentra after the unfortunate demise of my '96 Toyota Corolla. As much as I love her, there are some serious shortcomings with this machine. The Background - I bought this car from a local dealer with about 100,000k miles on it. ...

Pros: Mileage, decent reliability.

Cons: Alternator problem.

Review: We bought our ’95 Sentra used back in ’97. It had only 19,000 miles on it at the time – and now it’s closing in on 100,000 – so we’ve put nearly 80,000 miles in it in 3 years or so. I drive the car daily on a 90 mile round trip commute (of city traffic...
