2005 Nissan Sentra - S (50 State) ULEV (M5)
Pros: automatic transmission
Cons: seating comfort
Advice: Make sure to check with Honda or toyota before considering Nissan
Review is for a 2004, not the 2005 model. I have finally got to hate this car, first, the radio did not work, second, my mileage is 23 city/ 29 hwy, third, engine vibrates, fourth, the ac turns on as I go to use my defogger and can't be turned off unless the engine is turned off, and fifth and last, I have taken this car four times to the nissan dealer to have them fix a water leak sipping into the trunk, so far, the car continues to have the water leaking, and I am now driving a rent a car meanwhile waiting for mine to be fixed. I will never buy another nissan, and a lemon law suit is on the way. -

I was sold on the power this Car shows right off the line with just the tiniest press of the gas and She handles Great with the Stock 16 ' firestones . I bought it yesterday and already love it As my first ever new car . As mentioned by another' the system isnt quite as good as some other rockfords Ive heard ' a good example is in the 06 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS I was previously checking out , but that wasnt nearly as spacious as the Sentra and Had the same hp -
2005 Nissan Sentra - SE-R (50 State) LEV (A4)
Pros: Power, Stereo and Moonroof
Cons: Road noise, body styling, paint job
Advice: DO NOT PAY STICKER....it is not worth the $20K price tag.......
I just purchased my 2005 Nissan Sentra SE-R last month (07/04/2005) and so far have been fairly happy with it. The power is highly commendable for a 4 cylinder engine. I love the moonroof and the trip computer the car comes with. When I first bought the car I was over estaticed about the Rockford Fosgate stereo until I turned the volume up fairly loud. It is ostensible that the speakers are not Rockford Fosgate:(..only the stereo unit...how lame!! Also the vehicle is terribly noisy for a Japanese car. I have owned 5 Hondas and they were all very quiet. The paint job appears cheap. The paint job appears cheap as I have only 1400 miles on my car and it has appx 4 chips on the front bumper which seems excessive to me. The styling is rather archaic especially when compared to a Mazda 3. What makes this vehicle so attractive is the power and options provided for the price of $17,500 after a $2,500 rebate that was applied. That is frankly the only reason I went with this particular car. I would have gone with a Mazda 3, but it was pricier and offered no rebate incentives. Overall for tyhe options and price it is an awesome bargain. I just hope that it holds up to the 'Japanese Car' stereotype of excellent craftsmanship and quality.
