The Nissan Sentra 1998 model was a very reliable car but because of its age it needed minor work. The previous owner kept up with the maintenance of the car such as oil charges, spark plug changes, brakes and tires. The body of the car needed work since again it was a 1998 model. It had a few dings and needed paint work, but overall drove well. It was a 5 speed which made it a very appealing vehicle. I did have to replace the clutch plate once but had no further issues afterwards. I got great mileage on $25 worth of gas. I drove it to work and home. I have also driven it on a few out of town trips that were approximately 400 miles both ways with only one fill up. It was a small sedan and had a nice size trunk. The air conditioning and heat worked great without any problems. Since the car is compact, it was easy to fit into smaller parking spaces. I really did not have any dislikes about the car. It served its purpose.
