40K MILES AND THE TRANS IS FAILING...

This car is slow. Pushing it up a hill would be faster then driving it up a hill. Terrible mileage. I am at a gas station gassing it up so much, I should be charged rent. Absolutely no power, I am so disappointed. I wanted the Juke but got bullied into this piece of [non-permissible content removed] by the Nissan dealership in Hayward, CA. I have never hated any car as much as I do this car. You want an update? It's 2 years old, and now that I have 40,000 miles on it the transmission is slipping. There is your update 8-6-19

I replaced the wheels which only had plain looking wheel covers with a set of four maxim wheels by konig. These wheels are ferris black with chrome accent. They make my Nissan Sentra SV look more like a sports sedan. The scarlet ember paint color looks great. I get compliments all the time. I also like the exhaust note and acceleration. The handling is very responsive and accurate. Overall I give this car a five star rating.

I bought my sentra used at a local Nissan dealer, the original owner put 20' rims and new exhaust system on it,..don't honestly know why because it's only a 1.6L engine, but all in all its been a pretty good car for me, I've had it for about 2 years now and it hasn't required much maintenance but it's great for traveling and the sports mode does give you that little extra boost you may lack in the other two modes but again, I've had a great experience with this car

Should have bought the Altima

Had a 2008 Sentra for 10 years with 34k miles and decided to buy a new one. Test drives never tell the story. What a huge mistake the CVT is the worst I have ever experienced and the engine is ridiculously NOISY. Wife got an Altima the same day and I should have gotten one as well. Its not the greatest but certainly better than the Sentra.
