1997 Nissan Sentra

The Bottom Line: Great car for nearly anyone. No recommended for families with more than 2 children or older children. VERY economical!

Review: We just purchased the car about a month ago. We wanted something that would save us on gas, due to the rising gas prices. We have always been American car people but this changed our mind. This is a great car. We have two kids and both are still in...

Review: I just recently bought a used 1997 Nissan Sentra GLE. I bought this car when my previous car bit the dust. I looked around at cars for almost 4 months before buying this one. I drive 30 miles to and from work in very heavy traffic, so the...

Review: I did a lot of research before buying my 97 GLE in March of 1999. I had made mistakes buying my previous car (hey, I was only 19 at the time!) but I learned from the experience. I knew what to look for, and this car was it.

My Sentra is an...

Review: We have had a Nissan Sentra for the past two years. It is our work car so we drive countless of miles on it. We even drive this car through a shallow creek every day. Yet it is still working as well as the day we bought it. Besides a flat tire and...

Review: My mom got a Nissan Sentra about two years ago ,its a 97, and she loves that car alot and i can see why its a great car for driving alot of miles because you get great miles per gallon. Also since she has had it its never been in the shop once so it...

Review: The Nissan Sentra was my first experience with a foreign car manufacture.
I have not been disappointed with my choice. I wanted a vehicle that was at a fair price and offered excellent fuel economy. I drove a number of vehicles, but settled for...

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car to anyone looking for an affordable gas-conserving car.

Review: I've owned my 1997 Nissan Sentra for about a year and a half now, and it has been alright except for some repairs that were needed.

Currently there is a problem with the engine making a loud rattling noise when car is sitting idle with the...

Review: Last year I bought a 1997 Sentra for my teenage daughter. It had been a rental car and had around 15,000 miles. After a year it has been trouble free. Just put in the gas (and not much of that), change the oil, and keep on driving.

The car...

Review: I was looking for the cheapest automotive solution to get me through my last year of college. I was going to lease a used car, buy a used car, or basically get anything that was cheap. The Nissan Sentra was where I landed. For under 12,000 I had a...

The Bottom Line: Makes an excellent used car for not much $$$. Driving fun is a bonus.

Review: No fault of the car, but since I own two of them (97 Sentra GXE manual for me, 98 200SX auto for the wife) I just keep finding myself looking at newer and bigger cars.

I bought the Sentra new and immediately noticed a moaning sound at idle...
