1st Dealer Bought Car

2016 nissan sentra was my 1st 0miles car i purchased. I owned the S trim, so in other words the base model. The value for it was OK, personally i feel like nissan couldve gave you all the safety features and technology as other competitors do in the same price point. Reliability was great for the 4yrs i owned it was never taken into dealer for repair other than oil changes and nail in tires.

This is the best car I have ever owned.

Gret interior, comfortable. Love that I can choose economy, regular or sport mode for however I am driving. The car handles great and keeps its speed. Love the cruise control that I can set how many car lengths behind the car in front of me so if they slow down, my car slows down and stays that car length away.

Pretty smooth ride

This car was checked over before we purchased it. There is a cracking noise when the steering wheel is turned either left or right. Don't know what that is. It doesn't seem to be causing any problems. Might have it checked out. All in all, we are really liking this car, & the color is very pretty! The place where we purchased it welcomed us with very good service & made sure the car was very clean before they let us leave with it.

Bought used with 32k on it

Just bought a used 2016 sentra with 32k miles through a Nissan Dealership. Not sure how reliable this car will be. I start it in he mornings and the engine revs. The hood release did not work. I have rust spots all over the car. A weird vibration under the hood. I found this all out just a few days of owning it. What else will I find.
