I purchased my Sentra 2 months ago and have 5200 miles on it. I traded a 2012 Rogue for it, because I got extremely poor gas mileage one the Rogue. I am averaging approximately 33 miles per gallon around town (that is me figuring out the mileage when I fill up). I don't know how the person who is only getting around 300 miles per a tank is driving, but I have never gotten less than 350 per a tank and that was in the beginning. I got the Leather Pkg, The Premium Pkg, and the Technology Pkg. I actually had a 2009 Altima also, and I like this car better, to me the front seat is very comfortable, I was worried since it was not power. I would highly recommend this car.
HATE MY NISSAN SENTRA

This is my first car that I have bought on my own, I have owned a Honda Accord with 140,000 miles and a Toyota Avalon with 120,000 miles. My Nissan started falling apart at 50,000 miles and I have taken excellent care of it! I wanted a Kia but everyone told me to get a Honda or Nissan so I went ahead and got a Sentra because I thought that it would be reliable. The car overheats, I've brought it to three different machanics and they can't find out why it is overheating. The transmission shakes and has just suddenly stopped when I am in drive but have the car stopped at a red light. The car has trouble shifting gears and has a horrible get up. I did go from a V6 in my 2 door Accord to this but it still has a slow start.. I'm just really dissapointed with this car. I will be going back to a Honda or Toyota!

DO NOT BUY

Bought a used 2013 Nissan Sentra SL with 15,000 miles on it in 2015. Had to replace the transmission at 41,000 miles and the new transmission has not fixed any of the car's issues. Almost $7,000 down the drain on repairs and the car is still unsafe. This was my first car and I will NEVER buy a Nissan or let any of my loved ones buy one ever again!!!! I am a college student who goes to school out of state, and I cannot rely on this car to get me safely back and forth. I do not have the funds to continue fixing it or buy a new car. This has been overall a terrible experience and I would advise anyone thinking about buying a Nissan with a CVT engine to save your time and money and buy another car. Nissan knows the cars are unsafe and are being sued for it. Don't be fooled by the interior like my 16 year old self was. This car is not safe and it will spend more time in the shop than on the road.
