I’m not sure what Nissan did, but this car is horrible

I’m not sure what Nissan did, but this car is horrible from the ground up. The ride and drive is beyond bad it’s one of those cars that you just hate to drive but you have to because that’s what you purchased. I’ll start with the seats and they are just so stiff and uncomfortable that you feel like you’re sitting on a punching bag filled with sand, your feet have no legroom whatsoever and I’m only 5‘11“ so you literally have to stick them straight out as if you were sitting on the ground. Head room is so limited you can barely get in and out of the car and the steering wheel is basically useless to adjust to make this any better. The vibration inside the car and the road noise is also very annoying as that you have to take a rag and put it in the cupholder to keep your soda from shaking and making a rattling noise because of the poor design. When I first purchased the car I just assumed it had an out of balance tire so after multiple attempts to balance with no luck, I purchased new tires yet the car still continues to shake to this day. Another issue I’ve had is the AC has no low speed it pretty much blows wide open on the lowest setting. The worst issue I’ve had is the headlights randomly go off at night and you have to wait sometimes over an hour before they’ll come back on. The dealer has yet to be able to fix this and has no clue as to the cause. The car pops and cracks as you turn going over any kind of uneven surface, which is extremely annoying. At 60,000 miles it’s developed a hard pull to the right and other models in 2022 have had the same issue but this one apparently doesn’t fall under the recall that’s been issued. I could probably go on and on but I’ll end with this note…. my 16-year-old said can I take the old Sentra which is a 2011 model with over 200,000 miles because I hate the way it drives you know it’s pretty much a failure or a car.

Nissan Sentra is a disposable car

We meticulously maintained our 2014 Nissan Sentra including changing the transmission fluid at 30k with genuine Nissan CVT fluid. Despite our best efforts the transmission failed out of warranty at 66k. The cost to replace the transmission was $5k. We donated it.

Great car to drive daily and safe in a crash.

Great car for commuting. Have high safety scores which I tested on March 30th. I was hit from behind at 50mph and I walked away. My 2022 Monarch Orange/Black Sentra SR was shortened by 3 feet front and back. I just bought a 2023 Gun metal/Black SR Premium to replace the 2022. Best small car I driven to date.

Definitely recommend the Nissan Sentra SV

Extremely satisfied with our new Nissan Sentra SV. Beautiful new exterior design giving it a very sporty look. The standard features that are included in the vehicle are quite impressive such as Blind Spot Monitor, Adaptive Cruise Control, Pedestrian Crossing, and so much more. Would definitely recommend this car to anyone looking for great value in a vehicle.

2022 Nissan Sentra, best value for the money

First things first, I bought this for fuel economy, not power, so I knew going into it that the 4 cyl wouldn't have the power of a V6 and I'm 100% OK with that. So I drive 55 miles one way to work every day and I have been averaging approximately 36.7 mpg. I enjoy the car overall. It's amazingly comfortable with all the bells and whistles of any luxury car with the SR Premium package, but I also did all the research to find what I wanted in a car and looked specifically for VALUE overall. My only complaint is that the caramel brown interior option isn't available on the higher end models. I've always had black interiors and would have loved to have a brown instead. Overall, for the money, the Sentra is exceptional value. I specifically wanted a car without turbo etc. Reliability was high on my list, and extra parts to worry about and maintain was not on my list. Having AndroidAuto, heated seats and heated steering wheel have come in handy. The looks of the orange with black top has turned so many heads and it makes me happy to hear that people appreciate such a different color. Hands down Nissan of Greer, and Mike Harley in particular, have made the process amazingly simple and easy. I can't thank all the guys at the dealership enough. If you want the best value for the money, I truly feel it is hard to beat the B18 Sentras.

Own the car

Very nice car. And Modern Nissan of Concord was very nice, and I would recommend the dealership and the salesman, Eli Gray to anyone that's looking for a great deal. He gave us a very good deal and fit perfectly with everything I expecte for

Love this car! Very nice look and best purchase

The safety buzzing in the steering wheel took some getting used to but I love it now. It is a sporty car with a luxury feel. It is a very smooth ride and I love it. The cabin is very large and comfortable and will fit a tall man as well. It has a light package that detects when you need to put on your brights. Its is very quiet and drives well in snow conditions.

Great car, wonderful experience!

First off, the customer buying experience at Cronic Nissan of Griffin was top notch, and I would recommend the dealership and the salesman, James Higginbotham to anyone that's looking for a great deal, with a dash of courtesy and professionalism!

Praise for my 2022 Sentra

I couldn't be happier with my 2022 Nissan Sentra SV. I'm leasing this vehicle and it continues to impress. The advanced safety features are a reevaluation...they make you more alert and involved in the driving experience. Fuel economy is very impressive... I have a long work commute and I'm seeing approx 40 mpg highway. Comfort is excellent and the face l operation and handling are great... very fun car to drive. Finally I love the styling ... a premium looking sedan at a very attractive price... aces the value question.
