2006 Nissan Sentra consumer reviews

I purchased this car in 2007 used. It had 29000 miles on it. I've been driving it since and it has 67250 miles on it. Never took it to a shop, never broke done, haven't lost power. It's a good car I drive really fast and i've done 112 miles per hour in it. It's good on gas also especially if you do a lot of highway driving. If you are for a roomy quick nice looking sedan for around 5000-6000 dollar sentras are good cars.

bought this car in november 2010 with 85000 miles on it, got it well below market value(few grand)! now 9 months and just over 10k miles later it has been a great little car. This is my 3rd nissan and i have loved them all, this doesnt get the 40mpg my 96 sentra with a weedeater engine and 270k miles got but it runs just as well rides better than any car ive had and it returns me approx 30mpg (because of the ethanol in gas now) it does have a slightly small backseat and the cup holders are in a bad spot but its nothing major and it wont dazzle on the take off but for a small 4 banger it has some punch (1.8s) nissans are great veichles i recommend any good used or new nissan to anyone

This is my third Nissan .. I always loved the stainless steel exhaust and easy oil change. I purchased the Sentra over the Corolla because the Corolla interior looked cheap. I passed on the Civic because I found the digital speed display really annoying. But mainly, I chose the Sentra because I got more power and a great deal. In 5 years, I experienced no problems, no squeaks or rattles, and the gas mileage is still great. The only negative is the rear seating is tight, but adults still could fit back there ok.

pros: great dashboard layout and engine compartment layout great mpg and front seats decent power for small sedan big trunk cons: small rear seats steel rims with hubs standard cup holders

I have been more than pleased with my Sentra Special Edition. The 1.8L engine routinely returns 32MPG. Maintenance costs have been low excluding the cost of 16 inch tires. The vehicle did have an issue with CV joints failing within the first 90 days and a transmission seal failing at 30K. Overall I enjoy & would rate this Mexican made Japanese car above average.

I bought this new for my stepson in 2006. We got an incredible deal on it. At first he was upset by the lack of horsepower, but the car has grown on him over the years and now he won't give it up. 2006 is the last model year for this generation and we were lucky to grab an automatic before Nissan switched to CVTs instead. Gas mileage and ride comfort are very good. This model has drum brakes in the rear, which shouldn't be happening these days. However, even though it's far from a performance car, it will handle a daily commute just fine. The suspension is soft, the steering is a little vague, acceleration is a bit weak ... it's built for comfort, not sport. We've had some minor problems with it that we've had fixed at the dealership, but nothing that would put me off from continuing to buy Nissans. I think that this car is a great value.

Have had no problems with my Nissan so far. Smooth ride and handles well. Only issue is 2 cup holders in front of cd changer......don't spill!!

46,000 Miles not one service issue I've driven Nissans for years (6 in the 16 years, All purchased new)and this is the only one that has been problem free. Mind you the others have not been nightmares in fact the issues were minimal. It is the least expensive car I have owned in years but the value is strong. Long equipment list, lacking only a couple items that were on my '03 Altima. I bought this car before I retired from the Air Force as an interim vehicle, maybe 2 years tops. I've found no reason to replace it and after almost 4 years I really have no clock on replacing it. I take care of it, it takes care of me. It's not fast but it's not supposed to be. It gets good mileage. The styling while not cutting edge exiting has the advantage that Vanilla styling has always had, I doesn't become dated real quickly. The interior is simple but usably laid out, one note, the Cup holder blocks access to the 6 disc changer. I listen to music louder that my 20 year old son and the 350watt system has never disappointed, It won't thump base two blocks away but it has plenty inside the car. It is not a boulevard prowler pouncing on lesser creatures but that not it's intent. It is a compact efficient family car designed for reasonable comfort, good mileage, and reliability and that it does very well.

I tend to agree with the other dissatisfied owner. The car is very uncomfortable. i purchased this car in place of an Altima that blew an engine due to the improper recall repair from the dealer. Major complaints are 1. Shifting on the interstates. I run 70+ MPH and even the smallest hill causes the car to shift into 3rd gear. Sounds like your flooring the gas everywhere. 2. When you slowly increase speed. Feels like the car is missing. Dealer said its fine. 3. Seats. Very uncomfortable for long rides 4. Tires. 195/55/hr16. Look it up and check price for shocker. 5. Stereo. Great stereo but extreemly overpriced. Had 5 disk changer, but would not play MP3 cds??? 6. Belt squeals for the first 5 mins of driving. Took it in and they "tightened" it. Continued to squeal the next day. 7. Bad Fuel pump after 40k Miles. Overall, dissatisfied. But there are some good things. Gas mileage is 30+. Trunk space is large. Nimble steering. Luckily we got the 100k extended warranty Had the car 1 1/2 years. 70k miles.

Well this is my first car and im proud to say it is very good! For a little car it does got some get up. I've had the car for one year right now and the only problem i have had so far is the subwoofer going out and the cup holders in the front should be coin holders because that is all that it can do! The car is easy to dent so be careful of what you do (do not let anyone even a toddler lean on the car!!) But for a start off car you will enjoy it!
