The 1987 Nissan Sentra SE: A Contradictory Sport Coupe
The 1987 Nissan Sentra SE, despite its "sport coupe" designation, offered a blend of appealing aesthetics and a less-than-thrilling performance. While it featured a refreshed design, a comfortable interior, and advanced suspension for its class, its 70-horsepower engine struggled to deliver on the sporty promise. This review from August 1986 highlights the car's strengths in style and interior comfort, while candidly addressing its performance shortcomings and competitive landscape in the crowded small-sedan market.
