I have had my 2001 Nissan Sentra for a couple months now and it still handles really smooth compared to other used cars I have owned. The mileage is pretty good and there is not a lot of usual noise or problems with the shocks. The power-steering is good and the car has little trouble getting up to speed and the cruise control works well. That being said, I've already had to replace the rotors and pads on the front breaks. Also, the service engine soon light has been on a couple of times already. Apparently, which I found out from doing internet research, this light comes on frequently for other Nissan Sentra car owners, especially for older models. Nissan Sentras seem to typically have an electrical issue that causes the service engine soon light come on frequently. I bought a OBD II ... (more)
Story
The first time the service engine soon light came on I was on the highway, and had not done research yet on the possible severity of the issue. Luckily, I made it to and from my destination, the King of Prussia area, without any issues. I still took the car in a few days later and found out the minor issues the car had, which were typically why the service engine soon light goes on. There is d... (more)
Pros
Compact. The drive is smooth. Good mileage. Good power-steering. Good brakes. Cruise control.
Cons
Service Engine Soon light frequently comes on. Minor rattling noise when driving over 70 MPH. The dipstick handle keeps breaking off.

Our Nissan Sentra has been a very dependable vehicle. I use it every day to drive to school and work and it has exceptional gas mileage. It also has plenty of room for my husband and children and still comfortable. It has not had any maintenance issues and has allowed me to continue my busy days running the roads. The only exterior issue I have noticed is that the paint has diminished over time, I believe mostly the clear coat on top. To me though exterior looks are not as important as the quality of the motor and transmission which have been excellent. It also has plenty of horse power and can get me somewhere quickly. I look forward to one day handing this vehicle down to my daughter who will also be able to rely on it for it's dependability to get her where she needs to go. Overall ... (more)
Story
We had to drive to another town in our state for a dental appointment and had our sunroof open like always. Well on this particular trip I was resting in the passenger seat as my husband drove. While stopped at a red light I felt something hit my head and realized that a bird had pooped and it came through the sunroof and hit me. That was just my luck and funny yet embarrassing.
Pros
My favorite features in the Nissan Sentra SE are the 6 disc changer CD player and electronic windows and also the sunroof. I loved having the ability to keep more than one CD in the player without having to always take them in and out and change, now all I have to do is press a button. The sunroof feature is awesome on a sunny day getting a tan while just taking a drive down the road. The electronic windows is a great feature compared to manually having to do it and it saves a lot of time. Also the security alarm system is a great feature to allow one to not worry about the safety of their... (more)
Cons
The negative thing about my Nissan Sentra SE is how over the years out in the sun the paint has diminished I believe the clear coat to be exact. At least being an exterior issue it can be simply fixed though.
