© CHRYSLER: 1-800-465-2001,

‘Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to

noon, 1:30 p.m. ta 4:30 p.m.

. Chrysler’s service is limited to
helping ovt on dealer-related ser-
vice complaints only. They are not
able to mail out catalogues and
answer product questions; how-
ever, the person answering the
phone was very approachable.

Fuel consumption on the high-
way, when equipped with a man-
ual transmission, is a miserly 5.6
litres per 100 kilometres (50 mpg).
City mileage is 8.1 litres per 100

- kilometres (35 mpg).

The optional automatic

“ transmission shifts like butter

most of the time, but because the
engine is small, sudden downshifts
cause the engine to rev high and
make a loud drone.

. In addition, the automatic
transmission tends to hunt back
and forth between fourth and
third on a long grade. The engine
is very quiet and smooth at cruis-
ing speeds and the Sentra offers
an extremely comfortable ride for
a car-with such a short wheelbase.

The Sentra’s handling is a bit
soft, and the smal} tires (P175/
7OR-13) restrict cornering speeds
to a degree.

But for everyday commuting,
the Sentra is an excellent and
refined car.
