2012 Nissan Sentra consumer reviews

I owned two 2012 Nissan Sentra for Turo 1. CVT transmission risky very high risk to fail - no way to fix but 4K for the part of a new transmission. 2. Blower or its relay easily go bad. Costly to fix because it cost 5hrs labor 3. Starter easily go bad. Man, I fixed it myself learned how to fix it not hard to replace but you will experience staring cars for several times to turn it on 4. Struts are easily go bad. I replaced them myself parts are 150 from EBay but it takes me 3hrs to replace both of them 5. The car likes a paper made toy. Noisy very noisy in a windy weather Now I don’t trust Nissan cars. cVT transmission is a potential risk for all Nissan cars all years. Buy a new Nissan is okay because you are in the lemon.

I have replaced all four cylinders. I have replaced the brakes four times. I just replace the front end. I have spent over $10,000 in repairs. Would I buy another Nissan Sentra no.

I take care of my baby, i totally transformed the car , its pimped out now . Bought this car at 60k Miles in 2017 and now has 215k miles present day. I will say , My oil changes were every 5000miles with full synthetic oil used. I change the cvt fluid every 50000 miles or once a year for me cause i have heavier rims and tires on the car. I must say this is the best car i have owned by far and if you love it , it will love you.

Very good on gas, smooth riding. I needed a car that car give me more gas mileage than my SUV. This car was the perfect fit

It is a good running car that do not burn much gas or give you problems , it’s a smooth running car, and have good pickup speed

I have 2012 Sentra that just failed transmission. The cost of repair - $4K. When buying this car i had now idea 8 years is its lifespan. They KNOW about this problem and extended warranty for 2003-2010 models but not later models. Nissan said they "fixed" the problem. THEY LIED. Now the only way to me to do it is a lawsuit. There was a lawsuit filed and settled. PLEASE READ about it before buying Nissan. I wish I had. You can find a lot of good reviews online - don't believe it, it is from people who just bought it or from dealers. Mine is a real story how reliable Nissans are after 8 years. You need to spend not $500 or $600 on minor repair of older car, you'll need $4K. We have 2 Nissans. Guess where I am going for my new car? Anywhere but Nissan.

I absolutely loved my nissan sentra. It was my 2nd car and could have lasted me another 10 years if I didn't have two large dogs needing to be hauled around. Spacious for a sedan, back seats can fold down and fit large items in the trunk/backseat. I rarely ever had problems with this vehicle in the 8 years of owning it and if I did, it was easy to fix and not breaking the bank. Would highly recommend!

The CVT is garbage and it looks like a metallic chicken nugget. Buy a manual, the SE-R or just buy an older model. If your kid needs a car, it's a fantastic first car! It's just fun enough to whip about and just boring enough to think twice about trying to challenge that Mustang off the line.

Plenty of interior room, rear leg room, and a good sized trunk. CVT returns great highway MPG. Easy to drive car with good visibility all around.

Just a nice car for anyone with the navigation it makes it very easy to drive anywhere great car for a first time driver or a great car for an experienced driver
