Plenty of pep

The Nissan Sentra is a comfortable small car with plenty of pep. It seems to be solidly made. It is an older car so it's not perfect, but over all it's a nice car for my husband to use for work.

Reliable

Car was picked up in an emergency situation expected to get two or three years out of it and I would have been satisfied. I'm beginning my sixth year

Trouble Free Reliable Car.

I purchased this new vehicle for my daughter in NJ.The only problem was when we purchased vehicle the E Brake light kept flickering but soon stopped flickering. Today still going strong at 161000 miles new struts, rear shocks at 143000. The manufactured gave a extra 25,000 miles warranty for the cvt transmission total of I think 126000 miles for that year. But regular transmission maintenance from the dealership at 85000,135000 mileages we never had any problems. We are praying the CVT trans will get 200,000 miles here now in Florida!

Great Car

Car met my needs. I am 6'3" and top the scales at over 300lb and I for in the vehicle pretty well. It is comfortable and adjustable to my size. Surprisingly there is more room in this car then in the Nissan Quest we just got out of.

Love this car

My favorite car and I?m sad to be selling it. Need suv for toddler and more space. Have had two cars for a few months now and find myself driving the Nissan Sentra most often.

So far so good

Purchased this vehicle for my teenage daughter. She loves it! It drives well and looks "so cute". It's a nice starter car for a new driver.

Very Reliable

This car was purchased new, it has about 160K now, we have had no major problems. When the engine light comes on, my husband, has had it read & fixed easily. the muffler, with all Nissan, seems to work good, once we had it fixed already, but they & a lot of cars have Horrible smelling Exhaust!
