Great setup

I love my car has great features like letting me know if I'm to close to a vehicle in front of me, also love rear camera when I'm backing up.

Poor design sunroof breaks with high temperatures.

This vehicles sunroof is poorly designed. Avoid purchasing this style vehicle due to faulty glass. Dealership will not replace when it breaks from heat. You will be left with a very costly repair! Also leaks water into interior of car.

Much better than what i had and such a great price

I honestly cant get over how well this car drives and how much better it is than our old Saturn. Breaks feel great, Love the backup camera as well as the sound of the speakers. Didn't realize the car had an eco mode. even better now!

Bought it used

Car meets my expectations. The interior is fine however the rear camera is not fully operational. It's a manual six speed and drives and handles well.

Best car for the money with premium features

You can't beat this car for the price. Very roomy, luxurious, quiet driving and smooth handling. No need to go huge or expensive, it's all in this car.

Piece of junk

I bought a new 2016 Sentra thinking because it was new I would not have any problems for a few years. Also listening to all the hoopla on foreign vehicles. I have 78,000 miles on this vehicle and the transmission went out. Cost to replace it is $4200. Will Nissan stand behind it? NO! xxxx poor representation of the Nissan brand if you want to ask me. I personally am going back to an american made vehicle as some as I can get out from under neath this heap of junk.
