Very reliable car

Wanted something a little bigger but there was a situation with insurance. So they found me something more affordable and not too small. Very reliable And drives so smooth. Love my car.

Excellent Buy

Very reliable, easy to work on overall, and very safe. Bought this car for my wife as a daily driver, and we both loved it. It handled well, and got great fuel economy. Several road trips. We would still own this car if it weren't totaled in a freak accident. My wife was involved in a spin/roll on an unpredictably icy road into a ditch 30-40 mph. She had not a scratch and the car was still drivable. The damage was a total loss, however. FIY Nissan had extended the transferrable factory warranty on the transmission to 10 years/120,000. However we experienced NO CVT ISSUES 80k-117k miles. The only repair complaint is the factory hardware quality. Example, replacing front control arms, be prepared to have a m14x1.25 (if I remember correctly) tap on hand to rethread the forward mounting holes, and be prepared to replace all chassis nuts/bolts if removed. Ours was a 2008 base model, purchased in 2016 and salvaged in 2019.

Great bang for your buck!

I have owned a 2008 Nissan Sentra for 5 years. Very reliable and great on gas. My only complaint would be that the seats are not that comfortable but that wouldn't stop me from buying it

Rides Smooth

This car was everything that I was looking for. It had carseat latches in the back for my daughter, extra leg room in the front AND back. Great test drive!

2008 sentra

The Sentra has much more room inside than you expect and handles well in winter weather. It's been extremely reliable. When we buy a new car, we're planning to look for another Sentra.
