2006 Nissan Sentra Sedan 1.8 S 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 4A)
Strike 2 w/ 28,000 miles
 I have this car for 2.5 yrs, w/ 28k mi, 5 weeks ago the the serpentine belt went and last week a pulley seized and the belt went again. I am giving the car another shot because it's still relatively new and nissan has a good rep, but these parts shouldn't be needing replacement 28k into the life of the car. I have had 2 civics one w/ 187k and 156k when they died, they didn't have problems like this.  I would spend the extra cash and get a civic.
