It’s that badge!

It is nowhere by any means Nismo tuned engine but, it looks cool. It’s your average daily driver with the bling, and that bling is that Nismo badge. The better deal for the money is the next trim lower. The Nismo trim is just for enthusiasts.

The Nissan Sentra 2018 has a manufacturing defect

Nissan Sentra 2018 is a worst car I have ever had. This car has a manufacturing defect of front radar. The dealership extensively repaired the car but warning malfunction sign keeps coming on the dashboard. Now, the dealership as well as manufacturer are trying to avoid buy back of this car. A legal action will follow soon.

My 3rd Sentra

This car met all of my needs it has plenty of leg and head room. It is Mileage efficient, especially on highway. My one concern is the constant battery low warning on the dash message panel, even after putting in new 2025 battery. Every different service person has given different reasons/suggestions, and then confirm that the battery /fob is fine. This never occurred on my prior models with same starting mechanism . I started carrying both fobs, at all times, not near my cell phone. Yesterday I was told told leave 1 fob at home (at least 30ft from where the car is regularly parked) and not keep spare lithium batteries in my purse)and was told that the 2 fobs should never be near each other, nor be left in the car when not in operation, since that drains the fob battery by constantly 'waiting ' to activate the car. What do you do while sitting in the car...throw the fobs far away???? Has this technology evolved from the 2011 and 2014 Sentras which never had this experience? Only been stranded once(with only 1 fob and a slightly low 2025battery). I was not able to activate with key against small yellow light on start button and brake pedal was hard to press. Waited, got other fob and all worked! An elusive electrical problem or confused new technology system??? I have liked each car, but this one is can be a headache, unless I continue to ignore the key fob low warning while following all the service recommendations and having spare batteries on hand to avoid being stranded!

The Biggest Mistake I ever made.

The car was not detailed interior. corroded battery poor performance and lots of vibration. Lots of caked on pollen in crevasses like it had been sitting a long time and yellow marks like it may have been in a wreck

Hey I had my 2002 since 2006 and never had as many

I think very low of this car I’m not saying it’s Nissan in general but this car particular I think someone had an accident or it’s been parked for a long time it was not very well detailed in the battery had corrosion all over it when I bought it they did terrible at Detailing and there’s been other problems as well. I hate this car
