1991 Nissan Sentra E 1.6
Summary:
Absolutely the worst vehicle I have ever owned!
Faults:
The transmission would not shift from 2nd gear into over drive one day after I purchased car. I had the transmission replaced by the dealer.
Trans-axle became disengaged twice, resulting in immobility of vehice.
Power steering pump stuck. Also the power steering belt fell off.
Headliner dropping from the car ceiling.
General Comments:
The car is far from reliable. After only owning it for four weeks I have completely broken down three times in this time frame.
Once one part is supposedly fixed something else breaks on it.
Due to the unreliability of the vehicle I have only been able to put roughly 300 miles on the vehicle. I am sick to my stomach because of the frustration this car has caused me!!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

How much did you pay for this car? $100 maybe? You should always have an independent mechanic check out any used vehicle your considering purchasing. I have a 1991 Nissan Sentra GXE with 185,000 miles on it and it is still running strong and is very reliable. The only issues with it are cosmetic in nature. Sounds like you got ripped off - buyer beware!!!

I bought a white 1991 Nissan Sentra SE and only paid 200.00 for it. I am only 17 and I got the car when I was 16 years old and it was the greatest car I have ever owned. Everything in the car worked, including the ice cold air. I got it, it had 197000 miles on it, and I drove it until it had 220000, after I hit a big deer with it. I sold it for 600.00 to my girlfriends mom and that was after I hit the deer with it, and the A/C didn't work and the CV axle was clicking. She fixed all that and is still driving it.

I have a 1991 Nissan GXE. I have had it for 4 years, and put about 100,000 miles on the car, which puts her at 250,000 miles. She still runs strong, but it started having tranny problems. It won't move because the syncros are done, but I would buy another one in a heart beat, and they're pretty fast. Mine has the 1.6 16 valve in it, and I was smoking Honda Accords and Civics in it, so everybody should own one I think.

I bought my 1991 Sentra from a tow company for $500. The interior (of course) needs some TLC, but it runs great without having done anything to it and it drives fine. All it needs is a headlight and a brake light. When I picked it up, I drove it 125 miles at approximately 70 mph. It did an excellent job and used only 1/2 tank of gas!! I am glad I bought this car.
