190000 miles and never a major repair

This car may not be a looker but it won't let you down. I live in Northern Minnesota and it has started every day no matter how cold it got. I have done my maintenance and never needed a major repair. I played on buying a new car years ago but this one just refuses to quit.

Fun to drive - fast

This is a very reliable car. I have enjoyed driving this car and would love to keep it but got a new job and with it a new company car. So, it's time to say good-bye!! Would like for someone else to be able to enjoy the speed and agility this vehicle offers.

Best car ever

My car was purchased new in March of 2006. I have only done regular maintenance such as tires, brakes, oil changes. My car has 279,000 miles and is still running great.

good car

Having got the cars back in 2011 (2006 1.8s) I am impressed with it, it was driven hard when I got it, and had 138k miles, and Now I am sitting at 168k and had to do some minor repairs, i have the manual transmission model, and have very few reservations about it, but i have noticed in 1st gear, they need to turn it up a bit, the car is very snappy, which if you want to burnout, or take off quickly into slow traffic is okay, but i think it could be bettter with a little bit more top end oriented 1st gear, along with 2nd, the other gears are great, but 1st and 2nd seem a little too high strung.

Long Time Owned

I purchased a new 1.8L Special Edition Sentra. I maintain all my vehicles meticulously. I drove it for 100K miles and gave it to my teenage daughter for school commutes, I purchased a 2006 because it was the last year of that model. I never buy first or second year model changes, The 2006 has a different intake that inceases horse power over the earlier model runs. This car gets 30 mpg city & 35 mpg highway. I once saw 39 mpg, but really worked on my coastings to acheive it. I do think 40 mpg is possible in light traffic.

very reliable car

I bought my 2006 Sentra in 2008 with 32000 miles. I have kept the oil changed and routine maintenance up to date and am still very happy with this car. I live in NC but have taken this car all the way from Northern Maine in the winter (-36 degrees) to Miami Florida in the summer. It now has 178,000 miles on it and I have not had any major mechanical problems. I will drive it until I can't drive it any more! Then, I will get another one!

Such a sweet little car

06 nissan sentra is a great car. I highly recommend it to whoever is looking for a used car. It gets ok gas milage, If you drive with normal you can get around 35 miles per gallon. It runs pretty well. I haven't had any problems with it other than the fuel pump that needs to be replaced. I've had it for 3 years now and haven't gone to shop even once.
