I really like the outside look of the car. I love the black trimming detail. The interior is nice as well and the seats are comfortable. It drives very smooth and you hardly feel any bumps on the road. Now There are a few things I don’t like. First off the infotainment system is very glitchy and sometimes CarPlay doesn’t turn on right away. I’ve taken it to be serviced for this but it wasn’t resolved 100%. The backup camera could use improvement as it is kinda blurry. The car is noisy when you turn it on and accelerate. It sounds like a car over 10 years old. Also, a few months after getting the car, I noticed a noise when I would turn and then a little after 10,000 miles I noticed my brakes screeching. I’ve owned this car over 2.5 years and I would not recommend it unless you’re in a budget

Seating is more comfortable than our CT4, front and rear. Pro reviews are way off as usual. Purchased for 16 year old son. No one needs a car that accelerates for a race track. I drive a 2003 Ranger that is truly slow. If I am first at stoplight, next car is half block behind. Most drivers have horse and buggy reactions. Safety features are robust. If you are looking for car for teenager can't go wrong. Purchase Nissan extended warranty. Modern cars can drain you out of warranty. Computer on wheels.

Ok, so: they took 3 months to diagnose and fix the engine mount that had been rattling since I bought it in May, Then the gear shift came right off! Wish I could post a pic! The front end collision warning light flashes off and on, for no apparent reason. Snow, fog, sun, rain, it doesn’t matter. It just arbitrarily blinks. As I that wasn’t enough! It does the emergency brake thing fir NO reason. It just did it again today! Just decided to brake for fun. Don’t worry about the traffic behind me who think I’m slamming on my brakes for fun! Add to that the NEW rattle in the front right of my car. It sounds like it’s coming from the glove box, but I emptied it. And it’s getting worse everyday. What can I say? I should have bought the Mazda I was looking at. SO done with this car!

2020 Nissan Sentra SV 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

My wife needed a car to get to work. We grabbed the 2020 Sentra SV, hoping it would be a great commute car BOY WERE WE WRONG. It started around 3k miles the reverse camera would not turn on and after taking it to the dealership to service this, the issue continued, now you would have to come out the car open the trunk and slam it down boom it works now. Car felt too underpowered, very slow pick up even in sport mode didn't feel comfortable over taking and merging. Overall we didn't enjoy the car it made a lot of weird noises, the ride was rough, infotainment system was gimmicky and always lagged, the front collision warning system stopped in the middle of the road very dangerous and almost caused a rear end accident. We ended up trading it in with only 7k miles. Nissan needs to go back to their glory days where they made cars more exciting and innovative. They are really behind and don't show any effort to catch up.

At 500 miles and the car drains the battery overnight with nothing left on. Now for the past 3 nights the headlights are shutting themselves off while driving in the dark and will not come back on for several minutes.
