First has a cvt trans, bad news on this is change fluid every 60k very expensive 250 to 300 dollars trans fluid 19.000 a qt from nissan only and the cvt if it goes is 5700.00 to replace they don;t rebuild them. Gets great mileage and this yr cvt is greatly improved alot less friction less wt and should go 200k.

Ok , so i decided to trade in my 2012 pathfinder ( I know .... smack me ... sigh ) ... for a more affordable vehicle... which is this sentra ... well i can honestly say its nice and comfortable , much leg room ... rides nice ( in town ) ... but taking it on Hwy today.... I felt as though it was all over the road ... didnt grab onto the Hwy as much as i thought it would ... Other then that , seems to be nice .... Maybe i was too used to my heavy pathfinder snugging the roads ... lol

We have had five Sentras and have always appreciated the value for the money. This is the first one we bought new so the repair record is unknown, but our experience in the past has been good.

Piece of Garbage!

I bought the Sentra new from a shady dealer in the Southeast. Soon after, the car started having multiple issues including door locks not functioning, AC stopped working, tire pressure light always on, among many other performance issues. I took the car to different dealerships service departments in the Atlanta area, and they all failed to repair the defects once and for all, which led me to believe that it is a "Lemon" and should not have passed the Quality Control at the manufacturer.
