First nissan car

2019 Nissan Sentra S 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 6M)

So I purchased a brand new nissan sentra right off the lot, so far it's been in the shop 4 times going on 5 for electrical malfunctions to the steering wheel buttons not working to having to get a brand new radio installed because it kept shutting off and not working to my dash lights flicking on and off... this isn't a good impression to someone that is new to nissan. Mind you my car was maybe a week old car was a week old with less then 1000 miles on it for the first electrical issue now it's still less then 2000 and it's still going in to be worked on. In my opinion if I could go back I wouldn't of bought the new nissan sentra.

I love all the inside detail. Its good on gas. Braking is good. I love that it comes with a back up camera. Overall this car will suit all my needs to get me back and forth to work and vacation.

If you’re right around the 5 ft mark, as I am, this is the car for you! Some reviews have said there is not enough headroom because of the front seats being too high. Well, for me, it’s awesome! This is the first vehicle I’ve driven that allows me to see we’ll over the hood to experience the road in a whole new light! A disadvantage to some but for me it along with Apple CarPlay clinched the sale to the point of trading in my 2013 Lexus (which was actually worth more than the Sentra SL that I purchased)! This will be the first vehicle I can actually use regular gas in. Huge savings along with the 32MPG listed fuel economy. Now....the car does have horrible acceleration especially if there are more than two average size adults. However, the ride itself combined with great features standard with the SL model, the price and economical mileage, this was the car for me.

I paid 17,000 for my brand new 2019 Sentra SV, Its worth every penny. I've been around the block a few times, This car isn't a sports car,it's not a high end luxury car,but it has a sporty look,and it has a luxury looking interior,well appointed cockpit,everything is in easy reach, and it doesn't look at all like a piece of plastic that gauges are thrown into,so if you like a reliable car with flair, with a fair price this is the way to go.

2019 Sentra SV

Just bought a new 2019 Sentra SV and I'm very happy with it. Option list is very good. I love the styling and the drive is very comfortable and enjoyable. Tech guys can notice the difference between other competitors models but to the average person they are all the same, if you like the looks of the Sentra then buy it....you won't be disappointed.

"NISSAN JUST SEEMS LOST"

Jway, 05/22/2019
2019 Nissan Sentra SV 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl CVT)

Here is just a blunt honest review. This is my 4th Nissan. I had 2012 sentra, 2018 sentra, and all new 2019 sentra. And a 2013 Nissan Versa. My 2012 sentra cvt went out at 75k. My fairly new 2018 had Aeb light (auto emergency breaking) light on. It had an engine misfire at idle occasionally. So I got miss consumer affairs to upgrade me to the 2019 SV. Folks I have to first say my 2013 Nissan versa drove much better than all 3 cars. Although very poor in power and not the greatest during high winds. This new sentra does not handle well during the smallest bumps or overall absorption. I literally feel every bump on the road with road noise. It is just so sad that the performance, ride control, and comfort is not there. Sad to also state that all 3 sentra has been owned less than a year except the versa. I will never trust Nissan again. I see all there complaints from the rogue to the sentra to the new Altima. Just time to go back to Honda for me.

I have a 2018 Nissan Sentra that randomly will not start. It has been in the dealership over 5 times and they cannot figure out what’s wrong. Nissan is absolutely no help when it comes to this. I am SOL and stuck with an unreliable car. Would not recommend this car!!

Good Car but its got bugs...

I bought this car new off the lot. It runs well and I have no complaints about that. I do have an issue with the software or a short in the steering wheel controls. When you skip multiple songs using the steering wheel controls the stereo reboots. There is also an issue with the dashboard information freezing. To elaborate, while I am driving the clock will stop running on the dash. The time on the radio will continue to run but the dash is frozen. The issue is resolved when I turn the car off and back on. I have taken it to the dealer several times but Nissan says that there is no issue located.

Unbelievable fuel efficiency

I just rented a 2019 Sentra for a week-long trip. The good is it's fuel efficiency. One tank of 10 gallon runs 400 miles, including going up smoky mountains and AC on. The tank can be bigger though. The bad are 1. The arm rest, or lack of it. It's behind your elbow. My arm has no rest! 2. The chrome instrument trim reflects sun light. Overall, 2019 Sentra provides a good ride, little bit under power but gives you 40+ MPG. That's fantastic!
