What are common issues with the 2002 Nissan Sentra SE-R?

The oil leak’s a real pain with the 2002 Nissan Sentra SE-R. I once had it in Toronto and spent nights doing the drip-drip dance to the shop. No lie, it’s like this model’s got a thirst for oil. Engine idles weird, too—makes ya wonder if you’re driving a bug or the car. Every parts볁vs owner happy jeans high maintenance. Could use some better parts quality, y’all!

I’ve had a 2002 Nissan Sentra SE-R in Seattle for a couple years. Engine misfires like crazy, so I’ve been on the dealer all the time. Transmission feels a bit sketchy after like 70k miles, hasn’t felt smooth lately. But, the turbo boosts power when it decides to work! Had fun with the car, despite the challenges – it’s a bit of a diva.
