2024 Nissan Sentra consumer reviews

Great experience from the whole team, especially Gil! Made the process super easy and not boring!Helped me get my dream car, thank you so much.

Got a 2024 SV, Aspen White Tri Coat ($400 option) all weather package (heated seats, heated leather wrapped steering wheel,heated mirrors, remote start, dual zone climate control, $590 option) proximity keyless entry and keyless start....for $20443. It's a freaking bargain! The interior is well laid out and comfortable even for me and I'm 6'5'. Everything is easy to access and understand and there's better soft touch materials everywhere they should be. Stereo is a pretty basic 6 speaker system with tweeters in the A pillars, 2 front door speakers and 2 rear deck speakers. Took about 2 weeks for the speakers to break in and deliver better sounding bass that's smoother. Clarity is pretty remarkable for a standard factory system. Performance wise...well it's a 149hp and weighs 3000lbs with a cvt. It's not winning many races but it's absolutely fine for any situation. You can easily pass cars and the cvt keeps the revs low on the interstate so your fuel economy doesn't suffer so much at higher speeds. Speaking of fuel economy,this thing won't get less than 40mpg. If I baby it in ecomode I've seen as high as 48mpg on my 24 mile commute to work. Running 50/50 rural roads and interstate I've gotten as much as 46mpg hand calculated (that's keeping the ac off and really trying for the best mpg I can get) normally though my tanks average 40-42mpg. The on board mpg readout is pretty darn accurate too. As far as saftey features, the blind spot monitoring has been perfect, rear back up automatic braking works well and the backup sensors let you know when you're getting close to stuff. Rear cross traffic alert works great too. I ALWAYS turn off automatic emergency braking for the front. Those systems are notorious for being overly cautious and intervening when not needed. We have the same type of system in our tractor trailers at work and they do more harm than good. Overall I'd highly recommend buying a Sentra. It's quiet, comfortable, handles better than it has a right to. Looks great and is cheap to own. The cvt for 2024 is a Jatco CVT XS. Look it up, it's meant to take way more power than a Sentra makes. Has a twin oil pump to keep pressures up and reduce slipping to reduce heat and wear. Has a multiplate clutch system for better lockup and again less slippage and it adds auto start stop which operates near seamlessly. Disregard the silly review complaining about the auto start stop system, there's a button to turn it off....its not the car's fault that person didn't read the owners manual. I'm not worried about reliability. Sentras rate a 4 out of 5 for reliability by warranty companies and companies that monitor repairs industry wide. They also have had and are projected to have less than average repair costs than other cars in the segment. Realistically a civic and corolla may be more reliable but you will never find one with this many options for less than $6000 more. Besides, if you're tall you definitely don't want a civic or corolla. They're ugly too lol. A base model corolla still has a torsion beam rear suspension while the Sentras get multi link independent rear suspensions and 2 sway bars. Sentras handle flat and active trace control keeps them from understeering in turns when pushed hard and trust me it works. Go drive one, you'll like it. Extended warranties are cheaper for these than most American brands. Throw a warranty on it and it's still cheaper to buy a loaded Sentra than a base civic or corolla. I wouldn't even consider a Hyundai/Kia with all the engine and transmission failures they're having now. Shop around and absolutely do not pay msrp. Prices are dropping and patience will pay off.

Bought my son a new car at Rt.23 Nissan. Unreal experience from start to finish. Ezaz was outstanding!! Made sure we were comfortable while waiting for finance, was kind and courteous. Never pushed us. Truly was respectful the entire time. We ended up getting a wonderful deal on a new car for our son. I highly recommend Rt. 23 Nissan!!

Bought the 2024 SV model. Black interior and exterior. All weather package included. Remote start is very nice. Heated seats and heated steering wheel work well. Passenger and driver can individually control the heat/air conditioner for their side of the car, which is nice. Front floor mats have hooks to keep them in place. Center console has a huge storage compartment. The blind spot warning light and the vibrating steering wheel when you drift from your lane are helpful. 4 wheel disc brakes are included. 6 speaker stereo with free 3 month trial Sirius Radio is included. Corded Apple Car Play works great. USB A and USB C compatible. USB A charge port for rear seat passengers as well. I think as long as you don’t try to drive like a race car driver, and perform scheduled maintenance, this will perform well for many years. The idle start/stop function can be overridden, thank goodness, because I get better gas mileage when I have that turned off. I push the ECO button on as well, and have gotten up to 39 mpg so far. And if you are like me and don’t want to hear the obnoxiously loud car honk when you lock it, you can program your remote to override that too! This car is quiet and has a good ride for the price point. I paid about 24,900. This includes some dealer add-ons like lifetime powertrain warranty.

To our surprise, the car came with a feature that we do not like, which is the Auto start/stop. This feature was not listed in the sticker nor in the website. Nissan does not provide a way to disable it permanently, which makes matters worse as we feel that the company is forcing us to use it. We certainly would like to be able to choose and to be forced into a feature.
