I bought my used 2014 sentra after having awful luck with old used cars bought out right. With big expectations I was let down. I've always had 99-05 Hondas and they performed great. This car is great for a new driver or a commuter car but not for high speed travel or busy city driving. Awful pickup, seriously has the worst pickup. Takes probably a whole minute to get from 30 mph to 60. Handling and suspension is "okay", was definitely expecting more from nissan. I was also expecting more interior features. The SV is supposed to be the in between model, it does not come with Bluetooth or other system controls most base models come with today. To say the least, I am let down.

I purchased my vehicle new in 2014 with only 14 miles. I am the only driver and drive 70 miles round trip 5 days a week. Since, owning this car I have had 4 transmission that has been installed by the dealer. The local dealer has install all free expect 1. I had to pay 1000. 00 cause I was only given a 12 month warranty and the transmission went out in 14 months. I will never buy another nissan. This car is a piece of crap when it comes to reliability.

Don’t buy

I’m getting rid of this car ASAP. There was a lady at the place I got my oil changed at warning me to sell it. I’ve replaced the transmission (went out under 60k miles) and any day it could blow again. Only thing wrong w the car is the transmission and the cheap paint job, but it’s not worth your money. If the transmission goes out again, it would cost more than the car is worth to replace it. :(

Beware of those CVT transmission

My dad bought a 2014 Nissan Sentra S two years ago, the ride is comfortable but the transmission went out 2 days ago. He bought it at around 55 000 km (not miles, but km) and it went out at 86 000km. Called Nissan Canada as well as one of their dealership, they wouldn't budge to offer a free transmission replacement. There is a class action lawsuit against Nissan Canada in the province where I live (QC) so that they can cover these repairs which will take years to settle in courts. It's a known fact that their CVT breaks often, so many lawsuits in Canada and USA. Don't buy ever a Nissan, no wonder why their resale values are so low, no wonder why Scotty hates them.
