The transmission now needs to be replaced in my 2017 Nissan Sentra. Unless you want an unreliable vehicle that Nissan will not stand behind, I don't recommend buying one.

Superior performance and headroom in comparison

Shop the price. We compared jetta , jeep , kia soul, forte, sentra sv showed better quality inside and out. Comfortable compared to VW jetta with a bigger cabin, and better quality interior. You cannot beat the smooth ride in comparison to the other vehicles we drove. Best value, and the only auto dealer that DID NOT switch up the eprice. Honored advertised price, Salesman @ Peoria Nissan were more knowledgeable than at other 5 dealerships here in A.Z. Love the Sentra SV.

Nissan Sentra S shines as a daily driver

I’ve been driving a brand new 2017 Nissan Sentra S for the past two months and 2,000 miles while my DD is in the shop for some work. I must say that I am impressed with this car as a daily driver. The car is comfortable and quiet. The seats are amazingly comfortable and they provide good lateral support for those of us who like to corner a bit harder than most. One really outstanding attribute is the fuel mileage. I can’t seem to get less than 38 MPG in my daily driving. When I really flog the car hard, my mileage drops to 34 MPG which is still very good. Oh, and on highway trips to Jersey, I’ve been able to get 49 MPG if I use a light foot on the gas. And one more thing, while the car is not super quick, it is more than adequate in normal day-to-day driving and the CVT transmission also works well with the power output of this engine. All-in-all, this is a very good car, and this comes from a guy who drives a BMW M2 on a regular basis.

I leased this car thinking that the plugs would last till at least 15,000 miles. Nope. It hit 6580 miles and the plugs are gone. According to the dealership they’re supposed to last till around 100,000 miles. Utter bs
