I bought my 2021 Nissan Sentra brand new in 2021.

I bought my 2021 Nissan Sentra brand new in 2021. Just got it paid for 2 months ago and of course the warranty is gone. It only has 34,000 miles on it and already the idler pulley broke off while driving it which caused the serpentine belt to break causing the alternator to ruin. It is going to cost a little over 2,800 to fix. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 34,000 MILES ON IT!!!!! What else is going to happen after this. NOT REALLY LIKING NISSAN AT THIS MOMENT AND THEY NEED TO INVESTIGATE THIS!!!! My Car is still sitting at the dealer to get fixed for a week now because places can't ever have anything they need to fix a vehicle right there, they have to "order" it just to irritate the customer further more. Plus the dealer never even offered a loaner vehicle!!!! So aggravated at the whole big mess!!!!

These cars are prone to engine failure, engine lights

These cars are prone to engine failure, engine lights coming on. The dealer support is horrible and will say anything comes to mind. Transmission problems never solved etc I could go on and on

Great value and style

This car check all my boxes for an economic sedan with good aesthetics. It looks sporty and more expensive than it is, offers a comfortable ride and a lot of safety features. The only thing I wish is that they offered a more powerful engine. 149 hp is ok for everyday commuting, but would like the option of more.

Love my Nissan

I love mine. The only thing I would say is that is not as economic in gas as the Nissan Versa Note 2015 that I trade I only drive 10 minutes from home to work, and my days off I still at home, and I am spending more in gas, I don't know why.. But overall, I love it.

2021 Sentra data shows 16 inch tires

If your going state the 2021 Sentra S has 16 inch rims, you would put 16 inch rims on the car not 15 inch rims. Felt like an xxx because I had ordered 16 inch rims and had to return them because they were the WRONG SIZE. LOST MONEY ON SHIPPING AND RESTOCK FEEs and still don't have rims for the car.

Not Good On Gas

Not very good on gas compared to the 2009 Corolla I traded. Nice overall economy vehicle, but it just does not compare to Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla. The buttons/controls are more like that of an American-made vehicle. Nice enough car… just not as good of quality all around as Toyota or Honda.

Great Car

Just purchased this car less than a month ago. It had less than 15,000 miles, the sr edition that is fully loaded. I really didn't think my perfect car was out there in my price range, because I wanted leather, heated seats (because of a back injury), good gas mileage (I travel to Tennessee to see family quite often) and looked great. I found it in a metallic gun metal grey! ( I have a 89 chevy silverado in the same color so I partial to that color.) I took my dad to the VA in it and average (best) gas mileage was 48.6. I couldn't stop smiling because I usually drive his 2020 Ram that gets like 24 mpg. I am so used to driving a pickup or SUV and this car is perfect.
