Affordable with attitude

This car is, in one word, fun! I haven't bought a new car in 14 years and I didn't think I would be deviating from the reliability of the Honda Civic, but one test drive in the new Sentra and I was sold. I decided to go for the Midnight Edition, which is basically an appearance and comfort upgrade but the other amenities are standard to the SR trim, so if you want to save money go for the regular SR. I, however, really liked the addition of the black accents and heated seats so I decided it was worth the extra cost. It has great safety features like a back-up camera and emergency braking, an Eco mode to save gas and a Sport mode when you want the enhanced performance. Even in normal mode this car has some pep! I was very used to my old Honda's acceleration, which could be slow even at the best of times, but when you ask the Sentra to go, it leaps like a cat, especially in Sport mode. It has a tight turning radius and I find the smaller steering wheel incredibly easy to handle. The interior seating is comfortable and sleek with plenty of leg room. You can hook up your cell phone to the car's Bluetooth and talk hands-free or listen to your favorite music app, and it also has a USB port and AUX jack if you have an iPod or other wired device. The sound system is average so if you want pounding bass you'll probably want an upgraded system, but for my needs it works fine. All in all I am extremely happy with this car and plan to keep it for many years.

Best Car for the Money. Period.

This car drives like a BMW, with features like a Mercedes, at the cost of a Kia. Nissan never ceases to amaze. 5 stars, hands down.

Great car!

This car met all my needs, from a Chevy spark to a Nissan Sentra I felt like it was a HUGE SUCCESS! From the blue tooth, the back up camera, dual AC and the eco or sport options, gas mileage. Not only that but the price was in my range! I?d recommend this car to anyone.

Great car

It's been over 25 years since I've purchased a new car. I did a lot of research and found this car to be the best overall value and quality for my price range. It looks like a small car on the outside but plenty of room on the inside. Great gas mileage and great safety features!
