1996 Nissan Sentra

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.

Review: 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: 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.

Review: 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: 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

Review: 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: 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!

Review: 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...

Pros: features, good mileage, low oil consumption

Cons: lack of good dash mat, cup in holders block radio

Review: 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: Could there be a better car for the money? Nope

Cons: A little light on the horses

The Bottom Line: Dependable, sporty, plenty of room, need i say more?

Review: 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: Overall great car

Cons: none

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

Cons: Paint issues

Review: 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: Great little car

Cons: not a "smoking persons"car

Review: I have owned a few cars in my life, mostley Pontiac's, but this car has been the best deal so far. Ya, its 3yrs old when we bough it, but low milage, and its got everything you could possibly want. Power everything, keyless entry, rear defogger and...

Pros: Affordable,sporty, lots of room for size

Cons: small engine, cup holders in a bad place

Review: We purchased a 1996 Nissan sentra last year, and WE ARE IN LOVE!! We needed a good running and reliable car and this is is. We have not had any problems with the vehicle, even though we bought it from a Rental Car agency, you know how those cars are...
