Read What Owners Say
👍 POSITIVE
What a pleasant read, thank you for sharing.
👍 POSITIVE
I'm surprised i read a long detailed review of a car I would never consider owning and would likely actively avoid renting. Good job. You made it interesting and I read it
👍 POSITIVE
Really solid review. Did the car drive any different once you started having the noise problems?
😐 NEUTRAL
Question: Why not get something slightly used instead? $16k would buy you a very nice used Accord EX-L or an almost-new Civic with no miles on it. Why go for the stripper model Sentra? Also nice job, we need more normal car write ups.
👎 NEGATIVE
No matter which way you slice it, $16k for that shit box is $15,999 too much. There are so many other USED cars that are better in every single way. The only advantage of the Nissan is that you’re the first person to fart in it. That’s it.
😐 NEUTRAL
Fascinating read. Where are you located if I might ask? Does your commute require lots of mileage? I feel like $15-17k could net you a base 2016-2017 Mazda3, Corolla or Civic with under 40k miles.
👎 NEGATIVE
“It’s been dead reliable,” but needed a new engine lol
😐 NEUTRAL
Someone get this man another car to review a year from now.
👎 NEGATIVE
>wheels, tint, overhauled audio system, maybe coilovers, unless I take a hit to the head and come to my senses) You must have already taken a hit to the head to think that coilovers is a reasonable thing to buy for this 130hp economy shitbox... I can kind of understand the window tint and upgraded stereo, if you don't care about performance and are ok with driving something gutless long term..
👍 POSITIVE
Always enjoy reviews of normal cars, don't ask me why. It's kind of like hearing someone else's impressions on a different flavor of bland food, like oatmeal I suppose. They're all about the same within a given category, just with slightly different appeals. I should probably write one up for my Cruze sometime... Have my upvote!
