Sentra ECCS SS vs AE92 Corolla (planning to buy a car)

[dudey20]

how is this compared sa kasabay niyang AE92?

my budget kasi is within 100k so medyo dikit sila.

ano mga pros and cons nitong sentra ss? I think same year sila lumabas thanks.

i've owned a 93 sentra. one of the best i've had, too.

smooth ride, powerful, torquey engines across all model ranges (DOHC kase sila lahat).

pag tinabi mo sa mga newer cars... 1996 and later, medyo halata na yung edad nyan by now, unless you find a really fresh model, or one with all the options nung 1993: 1.6 EFI engine, power antenna, power locks/windows, revised front and rear bumpers and 14 size mags. since pare-pareho na halos presyo nila ngayon i would get an automatic.

kapresyo na lang nya pala yung 16valve body corolla? the corolla has been around much earlier than the sentra b13 (eccs body). 1989 meron na nito, sentra 1991 yata.

interior space, parang pareho lang. gas consumption, mas matipid ang toyota genrally, pero nissans are very reliable cars.

+1 saka naka timing chain sya kaya mas longer po ang life span ng engine and besides the aircon...Nothing beats Calsonic

Had a 92 ECCS that stayed with us for about 10 years. Some of the more major problems we encountered:

1. Power window mechanisms failed (the tiny plastic pulleys inside where the mechanical cables go through broke easily)
2. Power antenna (the internal plastic gear strip broke off)
3. A/C cabin blower speed only works in "4" (the thermal protection on the blower resistor tripped)
4. Alternator brushes wore down (replaced the whole thing with surplus)
5. Rattles and clunks in the front suspension
6. Dirt and soot could easily get inside the headlamps

Other than that, the engine and body were very reliable.

i own (now) two sentras, isa yung medyo modelo na exalta, yung isa SS3. pero sabi sa club (Club Nissan Sentra), the B13 (ECCS) is the best Sentra that came out.

coming from a mitsubishi, i would say that the aircon is really great. ang lamig even at noon. another plus would be the timing chain. just had my sentra's tensioner replaced last monday. ang kapal ng chain, so hindi sya basta basta mapuputol.

lakas din humatak dahil DOHC sya. parts costs the same as the other japanese brands.

napansin ko lang din... yung features nya are more advanced to the cars of the same age. in fact, yung ibang kasabayan nya wala pang power antennas, yung ibang sasakyan nga may automatic retractable side mirrors na.

yung ECCS (o B13 as they call it) sarap pormahan. check mo yung mga mapopormang B13 dito...

3. A/C cabin blower speed only works in "4" (the thermal protection on the blower resistor tripped)

Usually the resistor based fan speed control has burned out. Replacement isn't expensive.

5. Rattles and clunks in the front suspension

Just replace all the rubber bushings would cure this. A simple wear & tear issue.

6. Dirt and soot could easily get inside the headlamps

Silicon sealant to plug the breather holes would cure this. Or periodic headlamp cleaning service.
