1991 Nissan Sentra User Reviews

Good Beater Or Daily Driver, Cheap Enough For Most Students. — i like the gas mileage and efficient use of space in this vehicle. it's also fairly reliable and cheap to maintain. my biggest turnoff would have to be the door hinges and some of the other bodywork, which is kind of annoying as well as having to disassemble any given section of the car for certain service items. the car has a very go kart like ride and sticks to the road well with a 4 way independent strut suspension. another drawback is the acceleration is kinda slow sometimes, but i think most of the problems on this car aren't too bad for an 18 year old car.

This Was My First Baby!! — It was a great car and I just got rid of it a couple of years ago. I loved my Sentra.

1 Car Ever Bought. — Since buying it from the old lady who only drove it to church and back... I put on 230,000 and some 8 years later Its only now become a lemon.

An Inconspicuous Car That Hauls Ass And Pulls 0.9gs For Cheap. — A great little car that kinda grows on you. It's not the prettiest thing you'll ever see, but, from the driver's seat, it's quite a ride. Lightweight, rev-happy, and predictable handling, with fool-proof brakes too. :) Z32 TT pistons balanced bottom end ARP fasteners JWT S4 w/ BC springs & retainers Hotshot Gen5 header w/ 3" exhaust + Thermal R&D muffler Pacesetter short shifter ACT HD clutch NX2000 2-row radiator High-pressure radiator cap

The Best Fwd Nissan Has Ever Put Out. If You Can Get One, Id Reccommend It. —

Well, aside from them becoming more and more rare by the minute, they are great to pick up. They already come very light, 2300lbs (less if you have no sunroof, power windows etc) Braking, handling, acceleration are pretty good in stock form, but there are lots of aftermarket for the car. In the Handling aspect, all the bushings can be changed to polyurethane, a good strut spring combo can be used, or full body coil overs can be used. Stock brakes are decent for the car, though i would recommend steel braided brake lines, and some upgraded sport brake pads, which really wake it up, and let you push much harder, and brake a lot later before a corner. If you go turbo, or start making a lot more power in the future, there are big brake kits that are a must. The stock motor is a 2.0L SR20DE engine. 7500 rpm red line, 140hp. With the stock weight its still very nimble, and you can shove around a lot. Its the perfect car if you live inner city, or have a good set of twisty roads near you. There is alot of after market support, and different engines you can swap it. For me the best combo is a good suspension and mild break upgrade, with 200+ lbs of weight reduction and all motor SR20DE or SR20VE. Mid 13 second 1/4 mile with go cart reflexes. It will own on the auto x course, or your local HPDE events. Build quality is on par with most cars of its day. The metal is thin, and there are some plastic's but the important parts are rubber or vinyl rapped. The interiors in the south get cracked and beat up, and the exteriors up north rust easily. Gas mileage is very good. Not sure about the stock engine, but mine makes almost 100hp more and i get 29-32 in the city, and 30 on the highway. The stock car was a bit better. The car is great fun.
