swiching over to Nissan's

I made the switch to the Sentra based on value for what the car provided and appearance of the vehicle. I have previously owned Toyota's but when I was looking to upgrade to a little bigger car with better options I decided to check out several other makes to compare what Toyota was offering me to see if it was a value or not. I compared the Toyota with at least 3 other makes of cars and hands down the Sentra won out. It is now 2017 and I still love my sporty Sentra! Great car and I'll definitely buy again from Greenville Nissan.

Executive Jeep Nissan- Stephanie Ney

Stephanie Ney was my sales person. She provided optimum service in my experience with Executive Jeep Nissan. She was very helpful in the process of finding a new car. She provided me with exactly what I desired in my vehicle. I had a great experience in the process of leasing a new vehicle. Stephanie provided me with all the necessary information during the process. She was able to help me understand all the options, pricing and availability. Stephanie is a top notch sales person. I am very happy with my new car!

More than just economy and reliability.

I purchased my car as a family sedan to seat 4, sometimes 5. The best feature is the interior room and trunk space. The next best feature is fuel economy. Don't be afraid to get the 6 speed manual transmission. It is smooth as silk and allows you to baby the engine or squeeze some power out when you need to. I know the CVT auto's claim to fame is better acceleration and economy but at what cost?? The CVT likes to rev the engine up pretty high even below 20 mph just to accelerate faster. I keep the rpm's lower with the 6 speed. And by the way I get above the 35 mpg rated highway mileage cruising on the interstate. On a 400+ mile trip I averaged over 40 mpg at an average speed of 65 mph (traffic slowed me down some). In any event the Sentra 6 speed manual gives you a lot of bang for your buck in a reasonably roomy family sedan. Don't expect a lot of fancy electronics. Options and controls are basic but uncluttered and easy to operate.

Very nice, affordable car!

This was my second new car in my life time, and I feel I made a very good choice! Nissan has been known for reliability, and I just gave my Nissan Altima to my daughter as her new car. Of course it wasn't no, but to her it was! I was very happy with that car also. In my research Nissan, besides being dependable, also has an excellent resale value, and the engines usually last over 200,000 miles. I hope you own this car for a good many years! It drives very nicely, and was nicely equipped for an excellent price.

2016 sentra

Solid car, as I would expect from Nissan, this version is roomier than the previous ones. Mileage is excellent. I like the rear view camera whith allows to see directly behind the vehicle (small children, animals,0 as well as a wider angle with tracking lines to keep you backing up in a straignt line. (great for snowy driveways. tracks well in the snow and rain. Smooth ride, easy steering, very comfortable seats. good leg room. Lovely exterior lines, much more sophisticalted looking than the former model which was not bad to begin with. Bose speakers and XM (we love) Would have liked to have nav system. Objection, not as much storage as the previous version.
