| | Model of the car: | NISSAN | | | General comments: | I WOULD STILL RECOMMEND THIS CAR AFTER SOME OF THE TROUBLE I'VE HAD. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR RELIABLILITY, THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT! I DID ALOT OF RESEARCH BEFORE THE PURCHASE AND THE HONDA AND TOYOTA WERE MY OTHER TWO CHOICES BUT I CHOSE THIS SENTRA. UNFORTUNATELY, I'VE READ SOME OF THE REVIEWS AND SOME THINGS STILL HAVEN'T CHANGED, SO DEPENDING ON WHAT NAGS YOU THE MOST, IT IS STILL A GREAT CAR. I AM MOVING ON TO ANOTHER TYPE OF CAR THIS YEAR, ONE OF THE OTHER TWO BUT ONLY BECAUSE I WANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT. AS I RESEARCH,THE GAS MILEAGE (MY CAR TAKES $12 ON A HIGH GAS HIKE AND $8 ON LOW PRICES TO FILL IT)AND THE RELIABILITY OF THE SENTRA ARE TWO FEATURES I CONSTANTLY USE AS A COMPARISON. | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AFTER 2 YEARS BECAME HARD TO ROLL UP. THEY REPLACED THE TRACK IN THE DOOR BUT THE SAME PROBLEM APPEARED AGAIN YEARS LATER. IF YOU PLAY CASSETTES ALOT LIKE I DID WHEN I BOUGHT IT, THE FACTORY RADIOS ARE JUNK. THEY COULD NOT FIX MY CASSETTE WHICH STOPPED PLAYING SO THEY REPLACED IT AND BY THE TIME MY WARRANTY WAS UP IT WAS ACTING UP AGAIN. I PURCHASED MY OWN RADIO JUST A YEAR AND A HALF AGO BECAUSE THE FACTORY SPEAKER ON MY DRIVER SIDE WENT. THE VENTILATION IS HORRIBLE. IF SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE TALKING IN THE CAR, IT FOGS UP QUICKLY AND I ALWAYS HAD TO TURN ON THE AIR TO DEFOG THE INSIDE MOST TIMES. MY AUTOMATIC SEAT BELTS WERE RECALLED BECAUSE THE MOTOR JAMMED AND PULLED ACROSS YOUR BODY TIGHT OUT OF THE BLUE. MY CRUISE CONTROL WENT AND THE WIND NOISE IS HORRIBLE. I FIND MYSELF CONSTANTLY TURNING MY SYSTEM UP WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS. THE CUP HOLDER SHOULD NOT BE IN FRONT OF THE PANEL. AT 140K MILES, I HAVE THREE OIL LEAKS, ONE FROM THE REAR MAIN ENGINE WHICH I DECIDED NOT TO FIX (EXPENSIVE AND NOT WORTH IT AT 9 YRS OLD). MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HANDLE DOES NOT MOVE INTO REVERSE WITHOUT PRESSING THE RELEASE BUTTON ANYMORE. | | | Previous car: | THIS WAS MY FIRST NEW CAR BUT HONDA'S AND CAMRY'S ARE COMPARABLE |
