1991 Nissan Sentra Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I bought this car when I got rid of my Mustang that had ever option known to man. I nearly cried because this car was very strippo but it was all I could afford at the time. It was roomy with a large trunk, easy to park. The clear coat basically dissolved. It had two small repairs (water pump and clutch) over the time I owned it. I got 40 mpg which was great since my commute was 100 miles a day. It still ran good when I sold it at 239K miles.Nov 05, 2011

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.
