Used 2002 Nissan Sentra for Sale near New Brunswick, NJ

Has very good acceleration for an N/A I-4. Some of the interior feels flimsy and seems to break rather easily. The design on the seats leaves something to be desired. All in all a great car to drive, good on gas mileage if you're not too hard on the throttle. It's really nice having the extra doors/seating for driving your friends around at all hours of the night, and the fact that you don't have to sacrifice performance for those extra doors is one of my favorite things about this car and cars like it. Most importantly, it's fun to drive! Unfortunately having a pocket-rocket like this can cause you to drive unsafely, so exercise some caution while driving it.

Have put around 80K on it. great little car. just slow. does have issue with sunroof leaking though. average 30+mpg going 80mph. us to get 37mpg when driving easy. cheap to own, little maintenance. easy to work on. big trunk. back seat too small. great cheap car.

Overall has tons of power right off the line, but the wheel hop seems to have lots of pull through first and second gear. First gear only lasts 10 mph too. Overall a great car to drive and fun to drive across town every day. A steal for 6,000 dollars. Comes with a rather flashy red/black interior with a Rockford Fosgate deck and 10" sub. 6 speed manual keeps you happy too. Only major problems I have heard about involve pushing the car beyond what it was meant to do, and doing so has a rather terrible costs of the blown engine kind.

The car is great with gas, but lacks a little in performance.

When I first drove it, it seemed pretty quick. I bought it, put some parts on it, and found out it needed a new motor, just recently got the motor replaced and put some more performance parts on it. With the tein coilovers on it, the thing handles like a dream. Sticks to the corners hard. Good amount of torque for a 4 cylinder. Approximately 210 tq to the flywheel, 165-175 to the wheels. These cars need to be watched, and you have to know what you're getting into. They're built in mexico, so they are definitely not without their flaws. Watch out for the stock exhaust manifold that holds a pre-catalytic converter. If you drive it hard at all, it will fail. That's why I had to buy a new motor. The screws that hold the butterfly valves in the intake manifold are not loctited from the factory, so get that done, otherwise if you hit 5100 rpms and above at full throttle very often, those butterfly valves will open up and eventually the screws will come loose and go through your motor. All in all, if you know what you're getting into and get a decent price on one with good compression (please check the compression before buying it), pick it up. If you're going to pay 12k at a dealer, don't waste your money, there are better cars out there for that much.
