2006 Nissan Sentra consumer reviews

Everything about my SER Spec-V is great besides the placement of thr cupholders. I'm tired of people complaining about backseat room. This is a performance car not a minivan. Even though I have beaten many 4, 6, and V8 powered vehicles, (Civic Si coup and sedan included) I still feel like the Spec-V should have some type of forced induction option like the Mazda 3 and Subaru WRX. While deffinately not underpowered, it's a shame that the new engine was wasted on the heavy '07 Spec-V.

I'm going to explain each of my answers. I think i'm going to be brutally honest about this product. I've owned it since September (now June). Overall rating i'll save for last (which should be last to start with). Comfort- My back hurts. I sit proper in the seats. The chairs feel like their stuffed with durt or clay. Their way too firm. The head rest doesn't actually cradle the head instead all you have is one point that hits your head. Arm rests are made from cheap plastics that i've gotten bruised just from resting my arm on for a 2 hour drive. Performance- For a 129 HP engine it has some getup and go. Plenty for such a small car with good fuel efficiency. Automatic transmission is a little clumsy and harsh. At slow speeds changing gears feels like somethings a miss. Handling- No stability system isn't very safe to have. But it did have ABS which was very useful in the winter. Pretty quiet interior. If it had more comfortable seats and Styling i'll put together- Both are nothing to be excited about. Pleanty of storage space on the inside. Exterior is boring and hasnt' changed in a decade or more (notable). Features- Yeah they were fine. Good radio (still bought another one). Cruise control is very useful and so is the A/C. Side windows need heaters. Value for money- I'd actually prefer a yaris over this. Reliability- I've been to the dealership three times. The car has made wining noises. My power steering belt came off once. And i drive the car like a its an antique. Overall rating. You'll now understand why its a 3 stars. Its fine for there and back. But not for trips. Don't expect much in one other then a bad back and a pocket full of money still (very fuel efficient). Hope i can be of service for at least one person out there. Don't be afraid to get one or be upset that your getting one. It just shouldn't be your first choice. If i had to give a friend of mine a car to buy. I'd tell them to buy a Mazda 3 or Chevy Cobalt. Even a ford focus would be a good choice (all in the same price range). Have a great day!

well love the car becuse is a sleeper i alway the firts to take off the line all the time in all the lights! i wish it have more interior fetures but is my firt step toward my next nissan the z

First time owning a Nissan. Incredibly fun to drive. Great handling. The 6-speed, short throw shift is a blast. It really throws you back in your seat, and keeps you coming back for more. Good MPG too. Could not make as sharp of a turn as my ZX2 could (making parking a bit more difficult), and the cup holders are a bit oddly, inconveinient (forgive my spelling). The pros defintately outweigh the few cons.

I love this car. My only problem with it so far has been its fuel economy. Its getting 27 Miles to the gallon right now and in todays society you've got to be getting in the 30's to atleast be acceptable. Other then that the comfort is terrific and the speed is actually excellent for a 4 cylander and i'm used to driving V6 Nissan Maximas (driven them my whole life). Anyways I highly recommend the Nissan Sentra.

I bough this car for my 16 year. It was very easy for her to drive..not too much power..which is good thing for her as she is learning. But it has all the bell's and whistles that a teenage needs.

This is my second car but my first Sentra, but it won't be my last. This car is fantastic! A little lax on the power but still a nice car, great style and handling. I've had it for 3 months and nearly 18,000 miles. I'll have it for a long time.
