2017 Nissan Sentra SR... TURBO/MANUAL

NISMO IX · 09-30-2016, 12:23 PM

I just wanted to add to an earlier comment I made about owning an 06 Spec-V and giving the current conversation here. When I owned my Sentra, it was in a weird time in my life before my currently wonderful career in the aerospace industry, I actually worked pizza delivery 48 hours/6 days a week with the Sentra. In three years time I racked up 88,000 miles on it only needing tires, brakes, and fluids. After five years I traded it in and needed a rear wheel bearing at 96,000 miles. THAT was stop and go traffic, non-stop, for three years. It held up nicely, I wasn't always gentle either because it was a Spec-V. This is why I stuck with the brand, if I had Merican, it would not have held up. The Kia and Hyundai were garbage in the late 1990's to mid 2000's but are actually built a lot more durable now. Just my 2 cents.

From 98 on Hyundai was model dependent. Elantras and Sonatas, Santa Fe's were doing really well already. The rest were hit or miss. But you're about right on Hyundai

Mine was practically falling apart by the time I traded it in on my Si. It held up well for the first 6 years, but the last two were not kind to it.
