The 2002 Nissan Sentra, belonging to the fifth generation B15, is a front-wheel-drive compact car that offers convenience and agility. It comes in three trims: XE, GXE, and the performance-focused SE-R. Engine options range from a 1.8-liter inline-four producing 126 horsepower to a 2.5-liter inline-four in the SE-R that puts out 165 horsepower, both paired with either a standard 5-speed manual or an optional 4-speed automatic transmission. Safety features include dual front airbags, optional anti-lock brakes on the GXE and SE-R, and optional side airbags on the SE-R. Infotainment is minimal, in line with the era, but includes an AM/FM radio with a CD player. Over the years, Sentra has built a reputation for being a reliable daily driver.
