Nissan's compact sedan gets a few more standard features and a bit of an exterior makeover for its 2005 editions. One of Nissan's most popular cars, the 2005 Nissan Sentra comes in four trims this year. The base 1.8 and 1.8S feature a somewhat anemic 1.8-liter, 126-hp I4 engine with either a 5-speed manual or automatic. For more power and a sportier feel, you can step up to the SE-R or SE-R Spec V, which feature a 2.4 I4 that gets 165-hp and 175-hp respectively. The SE-R comes with a 4-speed auto tran only, the Spec V with a 6-speed manual.
In terms of changes, the 2006 Sentra borrows its look from the Maxima, with a higher rear end. It also gets a new grille and new interior fabric. Satellite radio is now an option on all but the base 1.8, and the 1.8S comes standard with a trip computer and cruise control this year. A Sport Package for the 1.8 sedans includes bigger 16-inch wheels, leather trim, and a rear spoiler. The sportier SE-R versions have a stiffer suspension, stronger shocks, and larger wheels. The Spec V ups it with bolstered seats and Brembo brakes, plus the appropriate trimmings. ABS is only available as an option on all but the base model.
The 2005 Sentra is popular for how much it gives you at an affordable price. Gas mileage is good, say owners, and the car is reliable. The SE-R models handle well and are pleasingly zippy. Trunk space is also good, though interior cabin room feels cramped, especially the backseat. Other complaints point out the noisy ride, labored acceleration with the 1.8 models, and poor placement of the cupholders.
MY car started jerking when i started it and while i was driving it when i push the gas it would not jerk as bad but it seemed like it did not want to pick up speed and when i stop it acts like it wants to die. HELP!! I have already had the timimg belt changed
It didn't put the engine size in the description. Why didn't that show up in my add? My car has a 2.5 liter engine.. Can you make sure it is in there?
My Sentra gives a jerk at about 20-25 mph initially when I start driving. But once I drive about 2-3 miles, it gets back to normal and no more jerks. Any idea what could be the problem?
So kicking myself in the rear here, because i let my friends dad change my brakes for me instead of being charged over 400 for it to be done at a local shop. When brakes were done he let down the car and forgot to remove a stand and it cracked a radiator hose. So he replaced the radiator completely, car runs fine.(sort of). I noticed when leaving that when the car is in drive or reverse it just doesnt move, and it always did before. I also noticed when letting off the brakes the car wont creep forward like it use to. Aswell as when I let go of the gas the rpms drop fast and the car slows down a lot slower then it use to without even braking. ( At the time of this question i didnt think to look to see if the EBrake was pulled, and its freezing right now to go back outside to check.) Been doing some research and some similiar problems could be just not enough trans fluid (Which i hope), while some others sound bad.
