Nissan Used Cars The Sentra

The Fifth generation of Nissan used cars like there Sentra model have been a very reliable and popular car to buy new

. This particular model has been around since the 1980s and is one of the more affordable Nissan cars you can buy new or used. This is a vehicle that is reasonably good at the gas pumps and provides comfort, with a sporty flare. The Sentra which is in the (affordable) small-sedan segment of the auto industry, competes against the likes of the Chevrolet Cavalier, Dodge Neon and the Honda Civic just to name a few.

The Nissan Sentra is a four-door sedan, which has five different models to choose from. The Sentra starts with the 1.8 and 1.8s models; these come in either a four-speed automatic or a five-speed manual transmission. The next model up, the 2.5 S and the SE-R come only in a four-speed automatic transmission and their best model, the SE-R Spec V comes only in a six-speed manual transmission. The SE-R and the SE-R-Spec V both have sport suspension and use 16-inch and 17-inch wheels respectively. The 1.8 models use a 15-inch wheel and do not have four wheel disc brakes like the other models. The SE-R Spec V also has a unshared exterior and interior trim with special sports seats not available in other models.

There are several different fuel statistics for the various different models. The 1.8 models had a fuel rating 9-litres, per 100km, for city driving and 6.5-litres, per 100km, for highway driving. The SE, 2.0-litre models had a fuel rating of 9.8-litres, per 100km, for city driving and 7.2-litres, per 100km, for highway driving. The SE-R, 2.5-litre model had a fuel rating of 10-litres, per 100km, for city driving and 7.3-litres, per 100km, for highway driving.

Engine sizes varied for the different models the Nissan Sentra has to offer. The base models use a four-cylinder, 1.8-litre engine and this produces 126 horsepower with 129 pounds per feet of torque. The SE model uses a 2.0-litre engine and this produces 145 horsepower with 136 pounds per feet of torque. The SE-R uses a 2.5-litre engine and this produces 165 horsepower with 175 pounds per feet of torque. The Spec V uses the same engine but has 175 horsepower with 180 pounds per feet of torque.

Lets look at some of the pros and cons of the Nissan Sentra as a used car to look at:

1-A leading online consumer watch dog gives the fifth generation Nissan Sentra an average rating as a used car.

2-There are problems with the cylinder head gasket on the 2.5-litre engine.

3-It was given a four star rating by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for driver and passenger protection, when a crash test was done to it.

I hope this helps if youre looking at Nissan used cars like the Sentra.
