2013 Nissan Sentra FE+ SV 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl CVT)
December 2022: Still on the road with 155,000 miles
September 2019: Gas tank needed be replaced. I've been driving for 45 years, and that's a first. It had something to do with a faulty filler tube. The car had 80,000 miles on it. All the cars I've ever owned NEVER had to have a gas tank replaced.
June 2018: The transmission stopped working. Luckily, I bought the extended warranty. … The dealer said that this is a problem with this car.
November 2016:
Brakes stink. The best thing in this car is the Sirius XM radio
May 2016:
After owning the car for three years, my biggest complaint is still the brakes. I take it to the dealer and they say nothing is wrong, however there is excessive travel, as it was from day one. Even after the recall, the brakes don't 'grab' at the best location when you step on the brake pedal. Others that have driven my car say the same thing, without me even asking them! I own another Nissan (a different model), and those brakes work fine.
It is a great car for long drives, and combined with Sirius XM and the Bose sound system, has an excellent entertainment package for this type of car. It has an entertainment package you'd expect to see on a very high end car!
May 2013:
This is a nice car.
I've been reading the other reviews about the brakes, and I found out, almost accidently, that the rear brakes were recalled. They were fixed in less than an hour. The brake pedal does travel a bit more than normal, but we got used to it
Generally, it's a nice car and gets very good gas milage.
I average about 32 mpg, and that's a combination of city and highway mileage.u
The car is very roomy inside.
5 adults fit very comfortably, and the ride is smooth and not too noisy
20000, CVT Problems
CVTsStink, Bradenton, FL, 01/01/2016
2013 Nissan Sentra FE+ SV 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl CVT)
The warranty is only as good as the company backing it. Nissan has a CVT issue and, as normal isn't doing much about it. My last Nissan, CVT issues at 20,000. Nissan needs to step up. Can't get Nissan to keep the car long enough to get the car to do it. I've been on a intermittent slip going on 8 months now, about have gotten hit twice now. If you buy one, get a standard shift. Advice is … to stay away, I hate to admit it, but go buy a Toyota.
