January 9th, 2006 06:24 PM #8We just sold ours recently for d/p on a new car.
The 2002 Sentra N16 has the QG16DE engine and it uses some parts similar to the GA16 engines so usual maintainance like change oils and tune-ups isnt that costly. Power is pretty nice on the low RPM range and it can hit a 175kph on the expressway (speed is limited by the party pooper ECU which cuts off the fuel pump when you hit 180). It averaged around 8++ km/L in the city.
Space in the rear is less then what one would find in the Corolla Altis 2001-present and the Civic. The door locks and power antenna is also prone to malfunctioning (POS Taiwan-Yulon parts if you ask me, never had those problems with our older Japan parts based Nissans).
The suspension is also tuned on the soft side and if you don't upgrade the rear shocks to gas ones (Paraut gas costs around 1.5K*), you'll be bottoming out the rear suspension when you hit bumps with the rear loaded.
The engine MAF sensor is also very sensitive to dirt so it has to be cleaned every 10,000kms with electric contact cleaner (pretty simple procedure and a lot of owners arent aware of this); if you don't it will result in poor engine performance and decreased fuel mileage.

AFAIK, the STA model doesnt have optitron gauges. what they have (white background blue lit numbers) are called reverse indiglos.

January 11th, 2006 12:15 PM #14Ang maf sensor ay yung socket na squarish right after the air filter box... Usually tanggalin mo lang yung air filter box and spray mo lang yung exposed sensor ng contact cleaner. Originally Posted by wulf

Contact cleaner madami naman nabibili sa mga hardware... Philips na brand kunin mo, bale aerosol sya, parang manipis na spray paint ang lata.

Agree. Sentra it is. Maintenance of the lynx is a b*tch. Those camshaft sensors are darn expensive for an old car

January 10th, 2006 12:44 PM #20AFAIK, The Sentra Exalta STA is one of the best second hand cars to buy. So much creature comforts for so low a price. If you want a car that goes from point A to B with much comfort, this is it.
Sure, there are some problems that comes with it but all of them have solutions and with a wide network of Sentra users locally, you'll always find yourself in good company.
