It is a piece of junk, the car rarely stays on and seems to always have something wrong with it. There has not been hardly 2 days when I don't have a new issue with the car.
Story
I drove from Texas to Idaho to go to school, the car broke down twice and got a crazy flat tire, and then on top of that all my belongings were in my car at the time.
Pros
It is a fun car to drive and tends get decent MPG.
Cons
The engine will blow out eventually and the electrical will be destroyed one day.

The 2002 Nissan Sentra GXE is an economy car, designed for economy, with no compromises or synergies allowed for. The 4 cylinder, 1,769CC engine doesn't have enough pickup to accelerate at the rate of most other traffic, and doesn't get appreciably better mileage than other, sportier 4-cylinder compact cars. The famed reliability of Japanese cars is missing, too; the vehicle has cost me more than $1000 in repairs, every year, for several years. The interior, however, is mostly well-designed. Where an American car would require you to lean to reach a control, the efficient Japanese design places the control within easy reach.
Pros
Well-designed interior with controls easily reachable while keeping attention on the road. Decent mileage. Good sized trunk for a compact car.
Cons
Poor acceleration and handling Poor performance in snow Cost of repairs more than two times the equivalent for an American vehicle
