Poor Quality in a Nice Looking Package

I have owned this car brand new since February of 2017. So far, the passenger rear window switch has broken 3 times and now there is a metal-on-metal sound under the front passenger side of the car when hitting bumps. The warranty is only 3/36k and the car began to fall apart immediately. It takes full synthetic oil, making oil changes expensive. The gas tank is 10 gallons, so you'll be stopping often. I am now way upside down on the car and having to decide whether to take the hit by trading it in or repairing it. Literally any other car would be a better investment.

Make sure you get what your paying for...im use to a jeep and this is so compact that I feel like I'm on the ground. I wanted a SUV or pick up but this Nissan sentra was what I was offers with no say so. Don't get me wrong I give thumbs up for this car if you like small cars.im a big guy they should have suggested a bigger vehicle and for what I pay ...i should of been more demanding on what I want. But I hope I could refinance and never missing a payment I should get my pick up..but the car is great.

I have leased three Nissan Sentra SR's. 2013, 2015 and this 2018. All were made in Mexico.I bought out the lease of this car in Nov. 2021 with 30,000 miles. All three have had the premium package. All three have been good cars, with few problems. Granted the first two were turned in to Nissan with less than 36,000 miles. I take care of my cars but really nothing out of the ordinary has happened. My current 2018 did require a new battery at 3 yrs. That was premature, but I live in florida and heat kills a battery. Pluses are - nice styling, good fit and finish, great gas mileage (40+ highway running air conditioner), quiet, smooth ride, large interior and trunk, doesn't break. Negatives are - small gas tank, squeaky rear brakes (all three vehicles), possible CVT transmission issues. I was part of a class action suit regarding CVT failures. Nissan extended an 8 yr, 80,000 warranty to me as compensation. It's important to follow Nissan's recommended transmission fluid changes to prolong transmission life. I just had my fluid and external paper filter replaced at 45,000 miles to avoid future failures. Be sure to replace the filter. Three dealers stated it didn't have a filter, it does. I'd buy or lease another one.
