The Good: Pretty nice looking car inside and out and the seats are comfortable enough but that’s about as much good as I can say The ‘not so good’: Performance - both the fuel economy and acceleration are underwhelming. I have a very light foot when driving and I struggle to get 25 mpg in the city with the A/C off. If I turn on the A/C I usually see 22-23 mpg; just not good enough for what this car is supposed to be. This is made to be a bigger issue when you consider how sluggish this car is. It’s understandable if you sacrifice fuel economy for performance or the other way around but in this case you get neither. The straight up bad: safety tech. It’s seriously awesome that Nissan includes so much safety tech even with the base model the issue is it doesn’t work often. Almost daily I get false emergency brake warnings and at times the car will automatically apply the breaks even with literally no car or object in front of the vehicle for miles. Also I’m constantly getting error messages from the blind spot monitor and it says the monitor is unavailable for use. Lastly, apple carplay is hit or miss. Constantly restarts on its own or sometimes just refuses to work. I have to completely turn off the vehicle, lock it, then start it back up to get it to work. Same with the radio. Looking to get rid of the car as soon as prices come back down. Update: nothing positive to add. The blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert stopped working a little after a year of owning the car luckily the car was still under warranty but I can’t imagine the head ache the car will be when the warranty runs out. Needless to say we have since gotten rid of the car.

I will say right up front that I do not own this car, but I have had one for several weeks as rental vehicle while my car was in the shop, and frankly I'm shocked by how good it has been. The interior is well laid out, and spacious enough for the segment. The adjustability of the seats on my SV were somewhat lacking; as someone with long legs, I like the front of my seat angled up to give support so I can sit comfortably close to the steering wheel, and sadly this wasn't an option. I do believe this would be fixed on higher trim packages. Rear seats were comfortable and shockingly roomy for a compact car. This was my first CVT experience, and it changed my mind about this type of transmission in a commuter car application. It's quite unobtrusive, save for the occasional instance where it hits a few different ratios on the highway before finding one it's comfortable with. It's not a fast car by any means, but there's adequate enough power to get back and forth to work. Ride quality is composed, if a bit floaty at high speeds on the highway. Gas mileage has been phenomenal. I've averaged around 37 mpg commuting to work, mostly highway at 75-80mph, but I've gotten up to 44.6mpg going a bit slower and not having to pull out to pass anyone. Overall, I'd give a 4/5 mostly because of the drivers seat not having enough adjustability, but this issue could easily be rectified on a higher trim package. I'd happily drive this car back and forth on work.

The Sentra SV offers an aggressive exterior look and nice interior materials with a good space for a sedan. Fuel consumption is one of the best features of the car (I have done 49.8 miles per gallon on the highway). The sound system is quite good and driving provides a nice experience. Totally recommended!
