Well, they sure didn't cut back the quality in 1993. I've had mine since new and it has 156K and it feels like it will go on forever. I'd be shocked if I didn't get at least 300K with the original engine and trans. I expect to do a timing chain guide job at some point, other than that probably nothing else (maybe auto trans). But, look at today's (and presumably tomorrow's) Sentra: many more standard features and blazing performance compared to the GA even in base form and also cheaper in real dollars than what I paid for mine in '93 ($11.5K, list $13.1K). So, even if they did cut back on quality the new Sentras are much more sophisticated than our antiques. That is arguably a good trade-off.
