Pros: Affordable, comfortable, not too shabby on gas mileage, extras like Cruise and power windows

Outgrew my Geo Metro, had to buy a newer car. I was looking for a stable and reliable car that was comfortable to commute in yet had a few extras like cruise control and working A/C and heat. I wanted to be able to pay cash for the car so I could own...

Pros: Reliable, stylish.
Cons: I think it's as good a car as you can get at this age.
The Bottom Line: I think this is an underrated car. Very reliable, nicely appointed, many extras.
I've own Sentras for ever. My first car was an 86 Sentra back when it was a tiny, fuel-efficient model. The 96 is a good choice for an older vehicle. I still own mine. I bought it in 97 with 30,000 miles. Let's have a look at what you should get ...

Pros: It is a Nissan; reliable; handles well.
Cons: Trunk is on the small size; cupholders are in a bad place.
The Bottom Line: I highly recommend this car if you can find one. I found it comfortable and I thought it handled very well.
A little background. My daughter has been driving a 1988 Nissan Maxima for several years. It was a family hand-me- down and was a great car. At 80,000 miles she was faced with $2,000 in repairs last December. Given the age of the car and in spite of...

Pros: features, good mileage, low oil consumption
Cons: lack of good dash mat, cup in holders block radio
I love my car! I bought a 1996 Automatic Nissan Sentra GXE and it rocks! My previous car died and I was in a pinch. I went to several different dealerships and researched and narrowed my search to a Saturn or a Nissan. I had wanted a Saturn for a long...

Pros: Overall great car
Cons: none
The Nissan 200 Sx is the model built from the base of a Sentra. The Sentra is a superb looking reliable car. I have a
1996 200 Sx and have had no troubles at all. I keep up on all my tune ups
and oil changes and I have to say it pays off....

Pros: Economical, Very Reliable, Excellent Handling, A GREAT Small Car!
Cons: Small cabin and trunk, road noise on the highway, the worst ever cup holders!
The Bottom Line: One of the BEST modestly priced imports available. If you are looking for an economical, reliable car then you must look at a Sentra!
After almost 175,000 miles on its original motor and tranny, what more can I say about this car? It is absolutely one of the finest cars I have had the pleasure of owning and, I have owned quite a few to know the difference. This is one of the most...

Cons: A little light on the horses
The Bottom Line: Dependable, sporty, plenty of room, need i say more?
I just bought my Nissan Sentra two weeks ago and i have not had one problem with it since. It is a dark burgandy with no fading whatsoever which is great for a 96. It has every option imaginable and its a manual what more could u ask for.

Pros: Great running, great gas mileage, sturdy engine that has taken a beating.
Cons: Front brakes wear out quickly but are easily and cheaply changed on your own.
The Bottom Line: Absolutely the best car for the money and economy
Sturdy, had two minor accidents and only the bumper is a little bent on one side. Agree with the guy above that the cupholders get in the way a little. Has handled road trips, cross country trips and long 5-6 day a week hauls to work and back with out ...

Pros: Good value for money
Cons: Few problem that you MUST check for before you buy. Sluggish uphill.
The Bottom Line: Good value for money. Make sure that the rear brake drums and electrics before buying.
In this review I am talking about the automatic GXE model, which is their highest model. It comes fully loaded with power everything and cruise control. I bought it used in 2000 and owned it for almost a year. I sold it because I moved. During that year...

Pros: reliability, fuel economy, standard features
Cons: road & engine noise at highway speeds
If you are reading this, you're probably in the market for a used car and this is one of your considerations. I won't attempt to try to compare this car to any other because quite frankly I'm not qualified to do so and that's probably not what you want...

Pros: Cute, Compact and affordable
Cons: Small Trunk, some mechanical problems, small engine power.
The Bottom Line: If you can't afford an Acura, then the Sentra is a decent replacement. It's a good commuter car, or first car.
I used to drive an old beat up Truck that really only was comfortable and fun for me, because I was driving. One day I just got fed up with all of the break downs, so I went to the Nissan dealership and bought a used 96 Sentra 4 door color teal. I was...

Pros: reliable
Cons: not for really tall people
I have owned a 1996 Nissan Sentra for three years. So far it has not had any mechanical problems (knocking on wood). It has had the brake pads replaced once, but that is to be expected on a car with 90K miles on it.
The gas mileage is great, I...
