1993 Nissan Sentra Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1993 Nissan Sentra express a lot of enthusiasm for its performance, handling, and value, highlighting it as a fun car to drive. Many appreciated its lightweight design, quick acceleration, and the reliability of the SR20DE engine. On the downside, some mentioned minor issues like rust, noise, and occasional mechanical problems, particularly with the 5th gear and maintenance requirements."
The best FF I've ever owned and had fun driving. It was truly the unsung king of street tuning in the early to mid 90's. It came second to none in terms of value and price. The engine, SR20de, has been deemed bullet proof. Plus not everyone drives one, so it's as unique as those drawn to it.
September 4, 2009Nissan's '92-'94 Sentra SE-R with its 140hp SR20DE engine, fully independent suspension, and light weight made for a wonderfully tossable, quick little car with incredible turn-in for a front-driver. Under certain circumstances, they could even be made to spin like a rear-drive car. A skilled instructor at a BMW performance driving school tested mine and said it drove like a 3-series. It makes sense then that Nissan advertised the SE-R as an updated BMW 2002. I often wish I still had this little gem.
January 9, 2008couple weeks after i purchased car it started losing power and idleing rough.replaced a sensor and that fixed the problem.now windows will not defrost 100 per cent.tried to replace thermostat but didn't see one under housing connected to engine block.bought 2 thermostats from 2 parts stores and both were too big.employee from 2nd parts store said thermostat could be where bottom radiator hose connects to radiator.also have rear passenger side wheel bearing making noise.car only has 110,000 miles on it.

December 30, 2007its a great car i have no complaints i have not experienced any 5th gear pop out like i hear of happening alot with b13s brakes fade a little if your on them aggressivly but not too much strong motor is for sure the fastest car iv driven i love my b13!
July 28, 2010lightweight and sturdy.. runs good considering how little maintenance has been done on it. performance is as you'd expect for a 4-banger; the 5-speed is a lot of fun. solid in corners too, would be better if i had new tires. can't fault this little car, Nissan is legendary for a reason.
December 27, 2009SR20VE swapped, soft shock ride, hydralic brake system. alway make me smile, about 13.5 to 14.3 seconds on a drag strip. new paint. impressive acceleration and low profile. save lot of gas. alway exciting to drive it in all of my time.
June 1, 2009OK car to own,good first car as well.can be modded as well using popular SR20De or DET as well,but again quite rare engine.
March 18, 2008I like the fact it gets great gas mileage and its comfortable ride is nice. Its quick off the line and handles the corners quite well. The rust is a small issue, mostly under the doors. The rear quarters are not an issue. Maintenance is very small and cheap. The safety is low cause mine didn't come with any airbags and the interior noise is louder now that I have a performance muffler but its reasonable.
January 29, 2011I LOVE THAT CAR!!!! ITS AN AMAZING TOY FOR EVERY MAN, not the best in appearance for his own but it's the best to whom likes tunning a car I hope rebuyin one, the last was crashed for the new owner
