Nissan Sentra Reliability
Want to more clearly know what the difference in reliability will be if you buy a Nissan Sentra rather than another vehicle? Concerned about your chances of getting a lemon?
TrueDelta provides this information in the form of "times in the shop" stats that make the actual repair rates clear and, in the future, "lemon-odds."
The latest Car Reliability Survey (CRS) results include Nissan Sentra reliability information based on owner experiences through September 30, 2009:

Nissan Sentra Repair Histories
To supplement our Car Reliability Survey, TrueDelta collects Nissan Sentra repair histories, a list of all the repairs that have been performed on a vehicle. With these, no minimum sample is required and owners can report repairs that occurred before joining.
Individual responses to both the Car Reliability Survey and the Car Repair History Survey are posted here:

Nissan Sentra Tire Reviews
The Tire Rack offers the Internet's most extensive collection of Nissan Sentra tire reviews, tire survey results, and tire tests. To see which tires are available for the Nissan Sentra--or for your car--and go from there to Tire Rack's comprehensive information, use the tool in the sidebar.
The Tire Rack can be especially useful as a source of winter tires, which I have strongly recommended ever since buying a set for my car. If you're unhappy with your car's handling and braking on snow and ice, you probably just need proper winter tires, not a new car.
