Used 2004 Nissan Sentra

Buying Guide for the Nissan Sentra:

With its Sentra, Nissan holds the key to the small car vault of superiority. The ever-questioning philosophy there is simple: Why not build an affordable car that also looks great? Why not build it to complement your sense of independence and fuel your sense of power? Why not give it outstanding quality and reliability for the years ahead?

Good questions all of them. For years Nissan has asked itself these questions when building the Sentra, revealing a passion for packing a whole lot of punch into a little car. That is not to say that the Sentra is a speedster. Hardly. But it will run for years and years and take you wherever you need to go.

Under the Hood

The 2004 Nissan Sentra features engines that are reliable, not overly powerful. 1.8 base and S models have a 1.8-liter, 4-cylinder engine that produces with 126 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 129 lb-ft of torque at 2400 rpm. 2.5 S and SE-R models have a 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder motor with 165 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 175 lb-ft at 4000 rpm.

Though small, the Nissan Sentra doesn’t offer a clunky, bumpy ride. It is smooth and stable, thanks to a responsive independent-strut front suspension and a multi-link beam rear suspension.

The 2004 Sentra also features speed-sensitive steering. At low speeds the steering is lighter, making it easier to maneuver. At higher engine speeds, such as on the freeway, the steering becomes tighter for better feel.

Standard Features, Options Packages and Style

The 2004 Sentra is a four-door model with new styling in the front and back. It looks smoother and more refined this year, essentially unlike other Sentras of the past. This is especially so with the all-new SE-R Spec V model (covered in a separate review).

The base 1.8 model has a bare bones list of standard features, or just enough to satisfy the essentials. Naturally, as you move up the trim list, you get more and more in the way of appointments. However, even with the second-tier 1.8 S model, you’re treated with air conditioning, power mirrors, windows and door locks, remote keyless entry and an AM/FM/CD player.

With so many models to choose from, it’s not surprising that there are many options as well. An Audio Fanatic Package, available with SE-R models, is particularly noticeable if you like a nice listening experience. It includes a Rockford Fosgate sound system, a partial folding rear seat and a car alarm.
