I love the space you get in this car. It sounds good when you have it working right. The clutch is not hard to learn and It usually shifts easily. So far the only down side has been the amount of money that iv put into it so far but this is to be expected due to the age of the car. All in all its a very nice car. Apr 26, 2015

I have had the car for about 2 months. I bought it used from a private dealer and the car had a few things wrong, but nothing a car enthusiast like me couldn't handle. I paid $1,300 and was the best car I have bought so far.Apr 20, 2015

Very reliable. Braking and handling is good. Great gas efficiency. Easy to maintain with low cost. Fun to drive. I feel safe and in control driving it. A comfortable car. I owned it for more than 6 years, and would like to buy a new Nissan Sentra. Jan 03, 2012

hey you have to put some bucks into the car to keep it running---but trans and engine are solid---change your oil every 3000 and she runs runs runs--look around-- there are a ton of these cars still on the roadNov 11, 2011

Amazing first car, best mpg around for the price, great reliability, not that great on looks. Have had the car for six years now and had very few problems with it. Some oil leaks and 2 changes of starters. Get one of these lol.Aug 08, 2011

This is my replacement daily driver/winter beater. Rolled the last one in a ditch. Needs a lot of effort and TLC yet (mechanical as well as visual-obviously!). I think I'll name it Rusty. Intend to "fix" the body and repaint. Possibly some different wheels... something more attractive? Otherwise, Excellent car. the 5spd makes up for lost HP. Has plenty of torque and will burn rubber all day if you let it. Will carry its own weight + some (tows like a dream). If it wasn't for the missing sway bar, I think performance would definently increase. lol.May 31, 2011

The Performance is good with acceleration and handling.
The Build Quality is good but in need of a new front bumper.
The appearance is the best part of the car.
Its not a fun car, given to me by my grandmother.Nov 24, 2010

Very tunable, and with minor modifications, it handles like a dream. Performance was meager but adequate with the 1.6L motor, but fuel economy made up for the lack of zip. With the SR20DET however, it is simply a blast to drive! Please note that my categorized ratings are for the stock vehicle, *not* my highly modified one.Nov 21, 2010

When I totalled it, (rolled 4+times) I walked away with a few scratches. From the outside the car looked flat, but inside, the cab was ok. Looked great, great gas mileage. Would definatly buy a nissan again anyday. Wonder what thier vans are like? if they have any?Nov 23, 2009

This car just goes on and on ! Great second car for run about and petrol use is also very good. When so old as 1995, maybe just get a newer model, but his one gave me many years of excellent service.Nov 04, 2009

Strong build and cheap to mantain, the engine have a high performace for 1.6 caburator configuration, very cheap to fix and all parts are in stock, only one problem a high fuel consumption. The car body is very strong and the bompers protects the car into trafic jam crashes..Sep 16, 2009

Works after 150,000 miles like a charm :D. No issues with repairs. Acceleration is slow, but braking and handling are amazing. Fuel efficiency is great as 13 gallons goes almost 400 miles. And yea, this car is kinda fun, could use some more power, but its good.May 02, 2009

I like the car an the gas mileage but can't stand the price of the parts or the fact that nissan makes their cars where I can't order a part for the year of the car..eg.. hafta order '94 parts for a '95 nissan :O????Mar 02, 2009

It has good power for a standard 1600. Braking isn't the best but it does the job. It gets under steer around tight corners. It has a squeaky clutch and a few minor rattles. Its not a cool looking car but not ugly either which is good. Its cheap to run. Yea its pretty fun to drive sometimes. I would recommend this car to someone wanting something quick and cheap to run.

When I bought this car, it was supposed to be a Maxima LOL. I went to Auto World and they pretty much gaffled me into this car, but u kno wat? For the price I brought them down to, this is an amazing car. The mileage was great, the drive was smooth...there's nothing better than a Nissan!Sep 05, 2008

Accelerates Slow, Good Gas Mileage, Ugly Looking Car, Reliable; Gets Me Everywhere I Need To Go New York To South Carolina 7 Times In One Year, Several Small Repairs, Plastic Bumpers; Beware The Shopping Carts At Wal Mart; Overall Not Too Bad Of A Car, Nissan Makes A Decent Car.Aug 01, 2008

Not a bad car and it gets great gas mileage. The acceleration could be better but overall good performance. After awhile, the tires needed replacement and the vent motor only works on high.Jun 25, 2008

This isn't a bad car for a first driver: it reliable, cheap, has good gas mileage, and won't get you into trouble. But if you're looking for something with a little grunt, then turn away now.Apr 12, 2008

This car is very dependable. We leave it parked for months at a time and it has never failed to start right up. It made the transition from leaded to unleaded gasoline without blinking. Sometimes, especially after a heavy rain, the electrical system goes a little haywire but other than that keeps on truckin.Oct 22, 2007
