1996 Nissan Sentra - Great workhorse!

This is an incredible vehicle that we bought used and still lasted a crazy number of years. It has gone through lots of jumps, storms, and other nonsense, and it still runs like new. Driving it feels incredibly safe, and it's fairly quite in the car even on highways. One of the best cars ever.

Story

My friend broke his leg pretty badly, and I had to take him to the emergency room on a nearly empty tank of gas. Luckily, we made it without problems.

Pros

Relatively fuel efficient for its age, handles very smooth, and feels very safe. Never had any mechanical problems with it, just get it taken in for a check up every once in a while and everything is all good. The interior is really aesthetically pleasing, and it's pretty easy to install things like new radios, etc., to keep the car feeling relatively modern.

Cons

It is a fairly old car, so it does come with a few old car issues. Sometimes it can be hard to start as the ignition will lock up and you have to jiggle the key a lot. It can also have trouble with really steep hills (it will make it over but you have to really put force into the gas and it gets pretty loud).

2005 Nissan Sentra - Good quality car

Overall the car is of good quality. I have had the car for 11 years now, and for its age it is in good shape. Giving it a good maintenance all these years has kept the car in top notch shape meaning it has the power to last long.

Story

The most memorable story I've had in this car was when I took the whole family to the beach. My son wanted to learn how to surf, so we bought him a board. We didn't have the tools to hold the board on the roof so we had to move the seats down to fit the board inside. Even with being such a small sedan we were able to fit the board and we happily road to the beach.

Pros

The car is very spacious for being a compact sized sedan. The look is very minimalistic, but sleek. The car gets good mileage with 23mpg, and is cheap to maintain. It has lasted me for 11 years and have only had to take it in the shop for regular maintenance, wear and tear, etc. The interior design is very nice and gives it a sleek look even though it is a low cost sedan.

Cons

Being at the bottom of the list in comparison to the engine power, the car is not a speed bullet. It will get to an average high speed, but struggles when going up steep mountains. The rims on the wheels get scratched fairly easily, making it look old with age. Because of the lower than average horse power, the car will not go very efficiently when packed with a lot of weight.
