Worst first car

2011 Nissan Sentra SE-R 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl CVT)

I wanted to love this car so bad, but it’s the worst car ever, I bought it used and it’s almost cursed, the jerking issue is to a whole other level, within a year it’s undrivable, it was supposed to be the air mass sensor but after replacing the car still jerked and jerked, it’s probably the transmission but whatever stay away from this car

Bad Sentra 2011 2.0 SR type

I bought a Nissan Sentra On October 31, 2010. As I am driving the vehicle in less than 20 miles p/hr I could hear a jurking sound from the engine compartment. I took it to the dealership, 5 times in less than a week, nobody could detect anything. I had no choice to downgrade a brand new Nissan Sentra 2011 to a 2010 Model. The funny part is that Nissan states in the Owners Manual that same situation. Apparently, its a ABS system doing a "self check". Funny how they sell vehicles that are not fully secure, yet the dealership did not want to cancel the contract. I will never buy a Nissan again.

Happy with car. A relative has a 2008, which sold my wife on this vs Corolla. Roomy. Good MPG. CVT is unusual, but likable when you get use to it.

I bought a 2011 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V with 118,000 miles, great little car, plently of room for four passengers or five if necessary. Good power, easy clutch. I like the styling and performance from this little pocket rocket! Well equipped with navigation, sunroof, helical limited slip, alloy wheels, Fosgate sound system, 6 speed manual transmission, 200 hp, pretty quick! Excellent value!

After our last two Toyota experiences,which were uncharacteristically poor,we decided to try the Nissan brand.So far both our Sentra and our Frontier 4x4 have given good solid ,problem free service.This Sentra is a good handling automobile,that offers great visibility,is quieter than our Corolla,has logical instruments,comfortable seating(at least for us)and decent acceleration.Not quite as economical on fuel,but is ok.Have not had any problems so far,and that what counts.The same can be said of our Frontier,no trouble.Made the switch to Nissan,and so far very pleased overall with the value and performance.During a very hot 2017 summer ,the air conditioning quit.No problem thanks to a great service contract,problem fixed quickly.
