Used 2015 Nissan Sentra Sedan Consumer Reviews
My First Car!!!
My family has a 20+ year love affair with Nissan. Now, that I have one of my very own I’m excited to keep the love affair going for at least another decade. The Sentra is not made for speed, but I find it responsive and easy to drive. Cruising is the absolute best with little to no road noise. The 38 average MPG is also a nice plus. It’s everything I was looking for in a starter/first car. I’m loving it so far!

Not a bad econobox
Purchased in Oct 2021 with 50k miles for our oldest daughter for her 16th for $15k and have to say its pretty nice. For an economy car it performs alright. Haven’t had any issues with CVT to date but have noticed that at 70mph when you engage cruise rpm’s tend to start fluttering to the point it makes us nervous so we wound up leaving it off to avoid damage to the trans. Car acts completely normal when not utilizing so have to be an ECM/Transmission programming issue. Car is well appointed with nav and lacks only a sunroof to be “glamorous”. Leather has already shown signs of wear on the drivers seat with it tearing (it’s not real). Patched and seems to be fine now. Hearted seats perform really well and keep that tushy warm!. Daughter has expressed that she doesn’t exactly enjoy driving this car in the winter here as it is FWD. Being a CVT on top of this only makes it worse with instant power available. One very poor aspect of this car is the passing power. At highway speeds this thing is dangerously underpowered and hopefully Nissan has since fixed the issue. It’s so bad I’d prefer to drive my 92’ Crown Vic over this on a 4hr road trip. Nissan if you haven’t done anything about this please fix… One should be able to pass on a two lane road with confidence…. The car does get pretty good MPG’s averaging between 30-32 on highway trips and around 25-27 overall. Not best in class but considering every other vehicle our family owns is a V8 (Corvette, Shelby, 6.4 diesel, and Crown Victoria) we tend to utilize it more when gas gets high. Outside that everything has held up and we haven’t yet encountered the dreaded CVT issue, hopefully due to conservative driving and regular maintenance. We did get a warranty on the vehicle so in the event it does it’ll just be the inconvenience and not the price. Overall I’d recommend to parents as a 1st car for kids in town…. Where it isn’t dreadfully cold and icey. If I could go back I’d look for an AWD version of an Altima or something.

OK so far.
Had the 2015 Nissan for 2 years and 34,000 miles. Only problem was a front strut was bad from the factory and was replaced under warranty. The continuous transmission took a little getting used to but no major issues. I've had cars that road better or had a more plush interior but generally speaking possibly best car I've ever owned. So far.

Not impressed with what's supposed to be the best.
This car is cheaply made, i had an accident at no more than 10-12 mph and due to a truck slamming on his brakes i could not stop in time and even pushing the brake as hard as i could the car would not stop quick enough so i hit the rear and the cost of repair was over $4,000.00 to the front end. The air bag sensor bracket was bent back but yet no bag was deployed. I bought the car for my wife but i personally would not own it but she likes it. it is a pretty car and the dash is great. we only have a 150 miles on the car and gas mileage is poor and not what is advertised. I wish i could give it back . I probably won't drive it again as i have a real car of my own, Dodge Challenger not a little go cart with sides.As you can tell i do not like this Sentra SV but it does have a smooth ride. I think it is a dangerous vehicle to be in if you have a bad accident as i have read other reviews of air bags not deploying anywhere in the car. the outside of the car bends up with very little force against it. My son just bought a 2016 sentra and i tried to talk him out of it, he has had it a week now and is finding same problems. I WON"T BUY another one. I would buy the Rouge however but the made the payments out of our reach and i think they just want to push the 15 sentra to get it out of their inventory. We have now purchase a 2017 Rouge and have a problem with a vibration in the steering wheel that i believe comes from the transmission but Ted Russel Nissan says it is normal, B S. it is very annoying when on a long drive however, if you use the sport mode the vibration goes away. I like the Rouge over all performance and smooth ride. I got rid of the Sentra. I will never buy a vehicle from Ted Hussler Russel again as i don't like being called a liar by the manager.
