I owned a 2011 Sentra and although I didn't find it very comfortable I was happy with the way it drove so I decided to upgrade to a 2017 SV Sentra. Although I am happy with all the new safety features such as the backup camera and blind spot warning lights I am really sorry I bought this car because of the transmission and acceleration. It seems they "improved" the CVT transmission in 2012 and now the car is very slow and unresponsive compared to the 2011. On long trips my leg hurts because I'm having to push so hard on the gas peddle to get it to respond and it is very dangerous merging and passing. Also the cruise control doesn't work on even small hills which is very annoying. As soon as I pay down my loan I will be looking around for a better, safer car.

I bought my Sentra S as as dealer loaner car that was 6 months old with 5000 miles. I now have 14,000 miles so I think I can do a reasonable review. The good thing about getting a slightly used car is if it is certified the warranty is 7 years /100,000 miles and I saved about $4,500 off of MSRP. I like the features of the S sedan. It has nice stitching on the seats and the arm rests. It has auto headlights. It has Bluetooth calling which I love. I think the drive and fit/finish on the Sentra is better than the Altima. I get between 32-40 MPG using the econ mode which brings me to my favorite feature, it will go 75mph at 2000rpms which is just amazing. I can do 80 mph at less than 2500rpms, I have no idea how it does that. The tranny does have a whine at around 30mph which I don't have a problem with but is there. I would say if you can get this car as a certified for cheap you should get it. I don't know how long it will be reliable however I bought it from a dealer that has free "lifetime power train warranty" so I'm not really concerned. My dealer charges oil change/tire rotation 4 for $200 which is expensive but I did it anyways just to protect the warranty. The only other maintenance I foresee is oil changes every 5K miles and tranny/radiator flush every 60K. I'll do the plugs and brakes myself. I fully expect to own this car for over 10 years and 150K miles.

This car will intermittently not start. This is a issue that won't be a big deal until you get stranded. Very scary and distressing

My name is Solomon and I am an eighteen year old male. I really love my 2017 nissan sentra sv. It helps make it easy for me to get from school and to work every single day really easy and good. I save fuel and I enjoy the interior and exterior of the vehicle. I love how it picks up, not too slow and not so fast for an eighteen year old. I am looking forward to purchasing a newer model when I finish paying my car note on my 2017 nissan sentra sv. I also love the push button and this is my first car and I am so satisfied and happy with my purchase, thank you so much nissan. I appreciate the fun and nice car.

That emergency brake HAS to be ON........

I am single and leased the vehicle because the salesperson was great at what he did and helped me get a vehicle even though my credit was not good.From the beginning I noticed that, on acceleration, there was the feeling that the emergency brake was somewhat engaged.......very draggy and dull acceleration. The car lurches at times (automatic transmission) and that is not a good feeling when I need to GO. The interior is black and very cheaply constructed. Just vacuuming it is difficult because nothing wants to release from the fabric. Nylon of some kind. It's awful. The mats and floor carpet are cheap and also are also VERY difficult to vacuum clean. The construction of the driver's seat hurts my right hip. The GOOD parts of the vehicle are the huge trunk, the nice styling of the outer body, and that's about it. It is difficult to get in and out of. There is no odometer to reset once I fill it up. The gas tank is too small, yet it does get good mileage.......have to fill up every few days......and of all the crazy things, the gas tank opening is on the PASSENGER side of the CAR. I am NOT HAPPY with this vehicle, yet am grateful to have it, given my credit situation. But if you can get a Altima or better, do it. I had a 2005 Altima that was still going strong this March when I was hit and it was totaled beyond any hope. But it was an awesome vehicle all the way around, and I LOVED it and am still saddened that it is gone. Altima is great.
