Faults:

The starter motor went bad in the first year, and was replaced under warranty. Everything else is normal wear items.

Axles and struts replaced at 100K miles to freshen up the handling, mostly because I autocrossed the car the first couple years. Brakes replaced every 30K miles or so. Still on the original clutch, still shifts tight. A/C still works fine.

Interior plastic is starting to look tired and faded, the headliner was replaced a couple years ago. This would have benefited if I had a garage.

General Comments:

A fun car to drive, handles great and quick enough to surprise a lot of people.

Good supportive seats, controls work well, the overall package works great in spite of it's cheap price.

I've been driving this car for free for years now.

Faults:

The starter went as soon as I bought it.

The CV boots needed to be replaced and the drive axles were replaced at 100,000 miles, only because they were never replaced.

The head liner started coming down, and was replaced.

The bulbs went out in the gauge cluster.

General Comments:

This car is the greatest thing that I have ever come across. The Nissan Sentra SE-R is a very nimble and responsive car, the speed is amazing for such a small car, and it still retains the good gas mileage. If any one wants a sports car, but can't afford one, look into this car, you won't regret it.

Faults:

There have been only a few things that have gone wrong. The seat belts never really worked well at the roll up and I usually have to do it manually. The dealer looked at it a few times when it was under coverage, but never could correct. The locks freeze up often.

The brakes have worn well, but with any humidity in the morning for example, they will sqeak for the first 5 stops. I replaced the fuel pump at 70,000 and since it is in the gas tank, it consists of many hours of labor. I believe it was about $350 to replace. The starter was replaced at 100,000 for $150. I had a life-time starter put in that lasted 7 months. I had to pay for labor $50 to having it changed again, so I am on the third starter. Normal tire use, brake changes, belts/hoses, head lamps, oil/fluid changes and that is it. It still does not use a drop of oil and starts every time in the cold Iowa winters. There is some rust starting on both lower/rocker panels, but that is all. The paint is very good and the body itself is rust free.

General Comments:

The car has been very good economy, dependable transportation. The ac still works well, but must be turned off to help the engine up step hills. The cruise has worked well on level roads.

Faults:

The only things that have gone wrong with this car is the blower motor resistor at about 160,500 miles.

The clutch had to be replaced about 160,000 miles also.

The charging system had to be replaced at 100,000 miles.

Other than these minimal replacements the repairs mechanical wise were not costly.

General Comments:

This is the best car I have ever driven the car has never broke down nor has left me standing. This Sentra was my first car its always been there I would suggest this car to anyone. It is the best running car it still runs strong and still has plenty power to pack with the little 115 horsepower 4 cylinder engine its not a racer, but it has enough power to pass on the highway. I get about 28 miles per gallon on the highway I drive about 70 miles a day. The cars finish still looks immaculant so does the interior. The seats are worn down, but there going to be the cars 10 years old its expected. This is the best car for the buck.
