2012 Nissan Sentra consumer reviews

Very reliable car. Love this car and have good value for money. Highly reccommended for everyone. Need very less maintenance

I owned Nissan Sentra 2012 car which was pre-owned by someone. So far I never faced any mechanical issue and it passed almost 90% of inspection checks during each services. Great car for mid range budget and small family

I upgraded to the Nissan sentra 2012 special edition from an acura tl 2005, and I most say that's best decision I ever made , this car is great on gas, looks small and sleek on the outside but spacious on the inside , the added features like the ipod/ usb port , navi and sunroof among other things are a plus.

great car- performs well, handles well- good looking, inside and out- good pickup- overall great buy

I have the 2012 Nissan Sentra Special Edition. The inside of the care is awesome, I love all the features like the XM radio and GPS. Things that suck about this card: the review mirror is too large, when you pull down the visor it hits the mirror so you have to readjust it every time. The back of the card sits up very high. I'm 5'5 and I have trouble seeing out the back of the car. There are a lot of blind spots on the car that is very dangerous. And the battery when out after a year, with no warnings at all.

I have owned this car for almost three years. I would say it is a reasonable car for the price you are paying.

I purchased a 2012 Nissan Sentra Special Edition (Fully Loaded) for my sixteen year old daughter. I bought it certified preowned. I have never bought a used vehicle before and I was nervous. I liked the 2.0 litre engine over the 1.6 & 1.8 engines of the newer body style Sentra. In other words I prefer the get up and go over gas conservation. It feels heavy and stable for a small car. The satellite stereo is nice but my daughter prefers the music on her cell. The speakers are mediocre, but enough for her. The GPS is a great feature. The stick shift is in an awkward position but you get use to it. Great first car.

I traded in my nissan Cube for this for more room. Was that a mistake this car had nothing but issues. The motor always seemed off wouldn't take off at a light properly, the brakes shook the whole car since we bought it, and the MPG is about a joke i got about 14 city maybe 20 highway and that was driving conservative.

We had a 2002 Sentra and liked it, and after 380,000 km on it gave it to our daughter to get back and forth to work (short drive). And bought a 2012 Nissan Sentra in British Columbia to drive home to Ontario. I like the car's handling and quiet smooth ride. I found acceleration to be great either starting from a stoplight, or passing another car going uphill on a steep climb through the Rocky Mountains. Cruise is great with the Continuously Variable Transmission as the engine slowly increases revolutions, and no 'bump' between gears, or engine revving as the transmission drops down a gear. Some people think the Mazda 6, or Honda Civic, or Hyundai Elantra have better styling, but I dislike the high doors and low roof look of the two latter. I like the Mazda styling, but like the Sentra's styling just as much. My wife is shorter than average, and she loves the visibility she gets with the Sentra's large windows, and adjustable seats. On a 4400 km journey across Canada, neither of us complained about the seat comfort. I found the car very comfortable to drive, and getting my seat in the right position is easy. Road noise is quiet; the 'automatic adjustment on the radio for road speed/noise' is really nice to have. After looking at Civics, Mazda 6, Toyota Corolla's, Hyundai Elantra's and other cars, I would buy a Nissan Sentra again for its combination of driving, style, space, power, CVT, accessories, fuel efficiency, and price. The only thing I'd complain about is the fuel efficiency. It's good, but not as good as I'd like.

I was in the market for a car. I'm an executive, so I needed something with reasonable fuel mileage, I travel long distances so a quite cab and a decent comfort level was a must. I have 3 teenaged Boys, room was a serious thing as well. Something without a timing belt and a timing chain instead was on my list of wants. Other requests were compact"ish" , auxillary outs and to be unassuming. This car met all of my needs and more. I test drove an aveo, versa note and an accord. Some were way out of my budget and others felt like if I were hit I would be crushed.I feel safe in my Sentra. You should know now, It's not a xxxxx to the wall sports car nor is it a luxury sedan. It is the business class car and it's meant to hang around for awhile. I took it on a snowy mountain road and had almost 0 problems taking curves and handling it on slick roads, I think the problem I did have (I slid just a titch , at a stop sign) will be rectified with winter tires. My car has power windows, locks and an iphone jack. Rear seats lay flat for hauling and comfy design makes this car the right fit for me. Oh and the music will turn up or down according to road noise, though with such a quite cab, it's no biggy!
