1985 Nissan Sentra XE 1.6 I4 from North America
Summary:
Good little car for kids on a budget
Faults:
The only thing that went wrong with the car while I owned it was the voltage regulator. Since this was my first car which I bought for $150, I didn't bother to fix it.
This car had been in an accident, so the impact had caused the alternator bolt to sheer. This made the alternator hang funny and created belt squeal and breakage. I removed the sheered bolt myself and replaced it, after that everything ran fine.
General Comments:
This car was simple and not very luxurious.
Serious lack of power, very slow up hills.
Started up every time without hesitation.
Gas mileage was not as good as expectd for such a small engine.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

You're one of only four people on this site who is not happy with this car. And there are 41 reviews combined of all the production years listed from 1985 to now. Which means that this car has a satisfaction rate of above 90 percent. My sister has one and couldn't be happier with it. Absolutely no problems, even with 126,000 miles on it except for a front end accident that took out a headlight and punctured a radiator hose.
