2011 Nissan Sentra consumer reviews

I love my Sentra SL!! It comes with an in dash nav system and it works great! I love that it has a USB port for my iPhone! I was looking in to this car, a corolla, and a mazda3, I decided to go with the sentra because for the price I got a lot more with the sentra. I like the way it drives and I feel like it handles very well. I only gave three stars for comfort because I have a lower back injury and the driver's seat seems to upset my back quite a bit... but, other than that it's an awesome car for me and my 1 year old to get around town.

Best value for the money in it's class! Handles well, decent power and I like the smooth Cvt transmission . Very little maintenance required. Standard safety features:ABS brakes, Stability control, etc. Good gas mileage. Like the rear view camera in th SL package. Good value except lack of 120,000 warranty.

I love this car. I bought it last week and I just love driving it..Classy, clean car that is a unknown surprise..I love this Nissan!

Nissan has some great incentives right now and I jumped and bought my THIRD Sentra since 1991 yesterday. The Sentra's new CVT transmission is unreal.....it is the same transmission they use in the Nissan Altima and Consumer Reports ranks this CVT top of the line for mid-size cars. You don't even feel the car shifting gears!! Nissan threw in a 96 month bumper to bumper warranty for 1400 dollars, which gives me peace of mind. I am pleased with the features of the 2011 Sentra and it feels much like my 2004 Sentra I used to trade in on this. I needed a car with cruise control as my '04 did not have it. This new Sentra has the 2.0 liter engine so is peppier than the '04's 1.8 liter engine. Overall I am very pleased with my choice. You can't go wrong with a Nissan!!! -----Reviwer in Atlanta, GA

I am driving this car for a rental car for a week. Wow, what a surprise. It's a 2011 with only 250 miles. It has more horse power that other 4 cylinders I have driven. I had to make a quick emergency stop today and it really came through. I am now looking at this car for the 16 year old that will be driving soon.

I have driven my 2010 Sentra for over 500 miles, city and highway. Year end sale and got a great price. These are my impressions: 1) The car is extremely quiet for its size. Low road noise and low engine noise. The engine growls only under heavy acceleration. 2) The ride is excellent and comparable to many cars one class size larger. 3) Interior is roomy. The dash is brightly illuminated, but has an odd amber colored LED showing gas, engine temp odometer, etc. I eventually I got used to it. 4) Huge trunk and has 60/40 rear seats that fold flat. I wished the trunk opening was a bit larger. 5) The CVT transmission is very smooth and seems to keep the engine rpm at a specific rpm. Since there are no perceptable "shifts", you underestimate how fast you're accelerating. 6) Handles fine. Stable and secure at 70mph+. Tight turning radius. Final thoughts. Drive the Corolla and Civic, then drive the Sentra. You'll be surprized.
