Not Reliable

I do not recommend a Nissan Sentra. I bought in brand new in 2013 and I have had nothing but issues. I was in and out of the shop the first couple years. My battery, water pump and transmission went on the car. The only saving grace I have had with this car is when the transmission went, the manager (Gino), did everything in his power to help me with the situation.

Radical car!

As a staunch supporter of Honda usually and while exploring my options to equate to a Civic, I landed on the Sentra SV and I love it. Not only is the performance my favorite part about the car itself, but the eco mode is reliably fuel efficient.

Very great and comfort car in this price range

It has a very good experience for me to drive this car because its performance is not very tense but fluent, which is a fantastic transportation tool to drive in daily lives, which means that it is good for students, routine workers and someone who need the car just for daily basic usage. I would say this is the best choice among all the makes you can choose. The most important thing is its price, which is always the lowest one to select.

Newly purchased

I purchased one week ago so I don't have a long history with the car, but so far I like the handling and gas mileage

Great Value for Money and Sleek Looks

Nissan makes really sleek cars and Sentra is no exception. Love the looks of the car. Great fuel efficiency as well. I typically get 30+ mpg.

Love my 2013 Sentra SR!

I bought this car about six months ago at 50,000 miles and I am so happy that I did. First let me start off by saying in the past 6 months the only issue i had was the tire pressure light coming on during the winter which i heard is common in Nissans. I put air in them and the light never came back on. I drive this car 50 miles on the highway 5 times a week to get to work and back and ive never had an issue. I will say its not a fast car. I use Sport mode when merging onto the highway and then turn it off when im at a decent speed. When I bought the car I averaged 34.9 MPG and i have noticed that since I started using eco mode it has gone down to 33.6 which i find odd but its no big deal. 33.6 is still GREAT gas milage. I only have to fill up once a week which gets me around 300 miles. I love the inside of the car. I love the amount of cupholders (8 all together) and the cupholders in the doors are very handy! The inside looks very neat and black interior is my favorite. One thing I would change is the sound system as it is not the best. I love the navigation system and the backup camera is fantastic! Overall I am so happy that I bought this car!

Best car I've owned with good gas mileage

I love my Nissan Sentra. Very comfortable and good gas mileage, price was right with low mileage on it.
