2000 Nissan Sentra Review

Introduction

reviewed by

Flush with development money from new corporate partner Renault, Nissan has completely redesigned its Sentra for model year 2000. A late introduction, you can think of this as a 2001 model. This new Sentra is much more attractive than the 1999 model. It's a bigger car - a lot longer, a little wider and a bit taller. Fortunately, the Sentra's smooth-running character has been preserved.

There's more power under the hood, particularly for the XE and GXE models, which come with a new 1.8-liter engine. A performance package turns the 2.0-liter SE model into a small sports sedan in looks and in performance.

Indeed, the all-new Nissan Sentra is now a less-expensive competitor for Volkswagen's hot-selling Jetta. And that's quite a compliment. Next Page
