    A friend's son now drives the family's old '98 Sentra EX Saloon, 1.4L. No major problems whatsoever. As easy to maintain as a similar model Corolla. Replacement parts are easy to find and of good quality as long as they're the reputable brands (Kayaba, NGK, etc.). Yun lang nga, sa kalumaan, they're noticing more parts needing replacement. Btw, this site might be helpful as it provides an idea of how much the casa charges for basic maintenance: http://www.nissan.com.ph/valueserv_print.html

    My friend's son refers to this when he has the car serviced at their suking mekaniko. So they know if they're spending within the right range or if they're getting overcharged.

    Owned some models of Nissan Sentra. Box types B12 and their problematic clutch cables. The Series 3 or B14 was a much better Sentra. The Exaltas B15 have sub par suspension, bilis kumalampag at di maayos ayos . You will know how reliable the car make is by the number of older models in good condition still on the road. Toyotas hands down compared to other brands. Haven't bought a Nissan since 2001 and will never consider buying one again.

    Yes,its really true that the nissan brand is better aircon kasi nga over size ang evaporator & condinser compared other brand but it comes to maintenance its worse. way back yr 98-2005 i owned s3 96mdl performance is wise especially engine & under chasis matibay. sa engine advantage din kasi nka timing chain compare other brand. Yun nga lang it comes to resale value talo....
    Sir nasa sayo parin ang choice kung ano car ang gusto mo & fit sa budget mo,god blss..............

    +1 malakas talaga aircon ng nissan. nakasakay kasi ako sa kabarkada ko nissan sentra yung car niya, nasa 1 lang yung aircon niya ang lamig. kaso bitiin ako sa hatak ng nissan parang nababagalan ako siya ka sa spacing sa passenger sa harap tumatama yung tuhod ko. hindi naman ako kalakihan 5'8 n half ako. bro hindi naman resale value ang basihan dito kung hindi mo naman ibebenta agad yung car mo hindi mo kailangan ng mataas resale value.

    I would recommend Nissan. I owned one Sentra LEC PS and it was one reliable car. Never had major problems. Most of the problems are known and there is almost always a quick and cheap fix for it. Prices for parts di naman kalayuan sa Toyota/Mitsu. Mas mahal pa nga Honda parts eh.

    Hay yun aircon, iisa lang ang reklamo dapat mo doon, na ang sobra sa lamig. Maski na 12 high noon mainit talaga sa labas, ang lamig pa rin.

    Again, I would recommend Nissan, even yun mga bagong cars nila. Maganda rin naman quality. If you will buy a 2nd hand Nissan, siguraduhin mo lang na inalagaan ng husto ng owner.
