OEM Nissan Battery

I've owned a 2011 Nissan Sentra since it only had 10 miles. It's been 15 years and the only repairs I have had to do were my own mistakes (hitting curbs and such). I've only ever changed the bands once, but never touched anything else on the engine. The AC/Heater work the same as day 1. One of my windows won't go down with its own button, but I can still control it from the driver side. I've done basic maintenence, oil changes, new brake pads, new windshield wipers, etc. But haven't needed any major work done. Even the batteries have lasted in the car (though this specific year and model had a recall for faulty battery terminals).

The first 10 years or so, I drove it EVERYWHERE in CA. Road trips every weekend and driving through not small car friendly terrain.

In the 15 years, I crashed it twice. No serious injuries and no car blowing up (I've heard so many rumors that Nissans blow in accidents.. they don't anymore than any other car would). It's running a little funky now for the past 2 years, but again, completely my fault. The last crash was full speed at a curb and damaged the mainframe.

It's a little over 200,000 miles and I'm finally looking to get a new car, but im scared I won't find one as reliable. I've had this car since I was 18, I'm 32 now!

Pros: AC/Heater work well, batteries lasted long
Cons: one window button faulty
Vehicle: Nissan Sentra
Mileage: 321868 km

OEM Nissan Headlights

Bought a 2024 Sentra, SV. Actually really like it. No problems with window glare. Yeah, the headlights are halogen, but that means they cost $10 to replace instead of $500.

Pros: no window glare, cheap headlights
Vehicle: Nissan Sentra

OEM Nissan Alternator

The alternator quit on my 2020 Nissan Sentra, and there were NO aftermarket options for it. The dealership wanted $900, JUST for the alternator, so I can actually believe their price.

Pros: believable price
Cons: no aftermarket options
Vehicle: Nissan Sentra

MICHELIN Tires

Rating 4.0

Put them on my gf's Nissan Sentra, they're good. It's icy and snowy here rn. They do have some slop and tread movement when turning kinda like a slow tire. They aren't the best in the category when it comes to wet and dry, but are one of the best in the snow. For a low horsepower car though I can't get them to spin at all, even in heavy rain. They are also a bit noisy and I noticed lower mpg.

Pros: good in snow and slush
Cons: slop and tread movement

KYB Strut assembly

I just installed KYB Strut-Plus on a B16 Sentra. None of that stacked bellow/bumper garbage that you get with Monroe. The KYB mount threads (8mm) look like shit compared to OE. The included screws do not appear to be strengthened. I would never use the Nissan torque value of 21 ft/lb with an aftermarket job. I chose 15 which still felt risky.

Pros: no stacked bellow/bumper
Cons: poor mount threads, weak screws
Vehicle: Nissan Sentra

Hankook Tires

I have a 2022 nissan sentra sv only 2,000 miles. came with 4 hankook kinergy gt tires. advertised as all year around. These are one of if not the most dangerous all year tires I have ever driven with. These things are going to end up killing someone. Ive slid/lost traction in winter far more and for far longer with these tires also while going at lower speeds. Yesterday driving home from work I was driving down a road that lead down a hill. the hill had a stop light. so the person infront of me and I stop. mind you we were only going maybe 6mph due to weather conditions. My car stops then proceeds to lose all traction while stationary. I turn my wheel to avoid hitting the person infront of me but low and behold im STILL sliding and im about to slide into oncoming traffic at the absolute last fucking second the tires magically get grip or traction again and stop. Absolute worst tires I have ever had the misfortune of using on the road in winter. No other car ive owned with all season tires has EVER done that.

Cons: dangerous, lost traction
Mileage: 3218 km

OEM Nissan Oil filter

I gave up doing that stuff myself in 1984 after buying a Nissan Sentra. I went out to do an oil change. And even with that 1.6 liter motor by the time I FOUND the damn filter\u2026I then found that i couldn\u2019t reach it.

Cons: filter hard to reach
Vehicle: Nissan Sentra
