Not a Bad Car

Date of Review:  Feb 25, 2001
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car to anyone looking for an affordable gas-conserving car.
Review: I've owned my 1997 Nissan Sentra for about a year and a half now, and it has been alright except for some repairs that were needed.

Currently there is a problem with the engine making a loud rattling noise when car is sitting idle with the...

Two hidden advantages

Date of Review:  Nov 14, 1999
Review: Last year I bought a 1997 Sentra for my teenage daughter. It had been a rental car and had around 15,000 miles. After a year it has been trouble free. Just put in the gas (and not much of that), change the oil, and keep on driving.

The car...

Pretty good for dirt cheap

Date of Review:  Dec 21, 1999
Review: I was looking for the cheapest automotive solution to get me through my last year of college. I was going to lease a used car, buy a used car, or basically get anything that was cheap. The Nissan Sentra was where I landed. For under 12,000 I had a...

Getting a bit tired of it

Date of Review:  Dec 15, 2000
The Bottom Line: Makes an excellent used car for not much $$$. Driving fun is a bonus.
Review: No fault of the car, but since I own two of them (97 Sentra GXE manual for me, 98 200SX auto for the wife) I just keep finding myself looking at newer and bigger cars.

I bought the Sentra new and immediately noticed a moaning sound at idle...

One of my favorites

Date of Review:  Mar 12, 2001
The Bottom Line: The kind of car you kiss goodnight.
Review: Nissans have always been my favorites. Going all the way back to my family's '81 Sentra, I've loved the way Nissans feel, drive, sound, and overall - perform.

And the '97 Sentra is no exception. With its ultra-tight turning radius and low...

Very Compact But Reliable

Date of Review:  May 11, 2000
Review: Purchased a Nissan Sentra GXE for my teenage daughter. Good little car for 2 people, however, when a family uses it, its a little cramped. Nissan Sentra is a reliable car, however it dents very easily. Having teenagers that use car, I've got quite a...

Sentra GXE keeps on going

Date of Review:  Oct 24, 2000
Review: OK, I was tired of driving my mother-in-laws car! That's why I did it. I was engaged to be married and had no way to take her shopping. That's important you know!

Looking for cars is not easy, and I did lots of it. Heck, I wasn't even...

My Little Sentra

Review: My wife and I have a 1997 Nissan Sentra 4 door GXE 1.6L automatic. We bought this car for use as a commuter car. No long trips were intended. I wish to provide some facts and epinions for people who may be considering this car.
