I own the 2013 Sentra SV model. I bought this car at the beginning of 2013. All I can say is that its an excellent vehicle for the price. The fuel economy is fantastic. I have to say though that I was quite surprised how this car performed compared to a Civic and Elantra which were the other vehicles I was considering at the time. The 2013 Sentra had the most space both in the trunk and interior for passengers compared to the other cars (amazing head room cause im 6ft tall. It also had the best features with different trims. Don't complain about mediocre acceleration or engine thrills, this ain't a Ferrari or BMW. Its safe,efficient and roomy. The Trifecta for sub-compacts.
Great Car for a great price!!!

I bought this car about 2 months ago. I got the navigation package and the driver's package. I love the Intelligent key and the touch screen. The car handles well and it gets great gas millage. When I fill up, on the dashboard it says I get 450 miles for one tank! I get 33 in the city and 38 on the highway. I drive about 30 miles a day and I do not have to fill up for a week. I turn heads every where I go. I have had people ask me if it a Lexus or Acura. People tell me that they love the look of the car. This is my second Sentra (I had a 2011), I love this one more and it feels like a bigger car than it actually is. Great Car, I would recommend this.

I tried the new Civic, Elentra, Dart, Mazda 3,Corolla, Focus. Basically every car on the compact market. When I test drove the Sentra, I liked it the most. I have now owned the car for 4 months and I still love it from day one. I will admit there is a major lack of power. You are not getting up to speed very quickly. The CVT is/can be very loud (but if you have the radio on, it tends to make the CVT quieter.) Slow down then step on the gas, the CVT gets even loud The styling inside and out are great, but the hubcaps on the car are awful. The handling is good, but you have to take sharp turns I would recommend going slow. The suspension is stiff, but I find that it come in handy over bumps.
I have a car or a lemon?

I am not made of money and I still have a car note on it and I did buy this car in 2013 brand new. It is getting close to 36,000 miles. But I cannot just go out and buy another car. I feel like putting it up for sale and looking around for something else. I wish Nissan would admit to making a piece of garbage and buy the car back for the total price I purchased it for. I had a 2004 Hyundai Elantra and it was a great car. I am having the stalling issue and have had to already replace the battery and the weatherstripping on top of the car, browning of the tires, the list goes on! I bought it at the time seeing no major recalls except for Honda and Toyota at the time due to Takata airbags on those.
