We have a 2013 sentr sr with 600 miles. So far everything seems fine. A couple of things I've noticed is the cvt transmission takes a lot to get use to. It's either slowing down or speeding up. It just took time to get the feel for it and learn the cvt. the Mpg's are okay. I drive about 8 miles a day and I'm getting 250 miles a tank. I'm sure on the highway I'll get the full 350-400 miles my wife's gets. The performance is blah which is to be suspected, it's not a sports car. I like it for what it is. I liked it more then the corolla I test drove and more then the civic. You get more bang for the buck with the Sentra in my opinion. I will update later.

Horrible transmissions

I own a 2013 Nissan Sentra SV that has had 3 failed transmissions over the past 3 years. All work was done at the dealership but it looks like this model has the worst quality transmission. Each transmission lasted a few thousand miles outside the warranty before failing. The car is very poor quality, but that is Nissan for you.

Great gas mileage

It's a good to and from car and great on gas. Only problem is snow traction and space. It's a good starter car but as your family grows you will need more space. And as for snow it is hard to get started but once you do it drives great.

I could not be happier with my Sentra. When I lived in a rural area, I was getting 43 mpg. Now I get 36 mpg driving around the city. It's comfortable, quiet, and high-quality.

Seems like a decent little second ride or work commuter. Only owned for about a month so far.
