My 2024 Sentra does almost everything better than expected. Fit and finish is more comparable to cars that cost $10k more. Standard features on the SV model are pretty much everything you need. I dont find myself wanting for more. Interior finish and comfort are both nothing short of excellent for any car, not just an entry level one. Space and interior comfort are again, above expectation and comparable to many cars costing much more. The most noteworthy advantages are overall driving dynamics and economy. The Sentra feels and handles like a much more expensive car. If you set aside pre conceived notions of being in a cheap car, it handles very competently, has excellent steering feedback and composure, and ample power. The new CVT is really really good. Again, set aside the past, scrap the prejudice and drive - and you are impressed. Lastly the economy is nothing short of fantastic!! I cannot begin to understand how some reviewers are achieving such low mileages?? Sure on short jumps and with lots of idling with the air conditioning on, you will get a poor mileage. But go on any longer drive with any amount of steady cruising or highway and it;s almost impossible to get less than 40mpg. I have now driven mine for just under 3000 miles in a 50/50 mix of city and highway commuting to work and my AVERAGE is 44 MPG. In IMO the economy is nothing short of spectacular, topped only by a few hybrids! I would totally recommend this car to anyone looking for exceptional value and a superb practical car.

I love the SR Trim so much it looks sporty while at the same give at the light to moderate luxurious feel. At the end of the day the speed is amazing the mpg is amazing $20 - $22 to fill up from half or less than that a little. Which that in alone was an eye catcher for me. I recommend this vehicle if you want to save on gas while at the same time have really solid speed which surprised me and I’m 24. And I’ve driven fast cars. 10/10 no issues with the car 549 Miles and counting i really do enjoy this car

I read reviews for the Sentra SV and I am surprised that it doesn't get more stars. I think it is fun to drive, great gas mileage, sporty. I think it accels just fine, better than my 2015 Chevrolet Equinox. It is comfortable even for larger people like my husband. The trunk space is amazing!!! The back seat is comfortable. Everything you need is at your fingertips. I highly recommend this little gem, especially if you are on a budget. I love my Nissan and I am so happy with my choice, I would buy it again!!!

Spent alot of time researching cars before I decided the Sentra was the one. Nearly every review mentioned it was "underpowered". Since I drive to work and back and don't drive laps at Daytona I have had no issues with power. Merging, passing and regular driving is not a struggle and RPMs stay low during driving which keeps noise down. Car is super comfortable and quiet, the nasa seats are awesome and all of the amenities like heated steering wheel are a class above so it really is extra nice. Love the look of the car, love everything about it. Since I do alot of driving for work when I am looking for a car I am looking for comfort and gas mileage and this fits the bill by a mile!

Just purchased with 7 miles on it and now have 26 miles on it. First, the bad. I’m assuming there are a lot of different ways to option. I was looking at a versa that has remote start but my Sentra doesn’t. Both were SV models. I don’t really mind too much about remote start but would be nice to have. I don’t like the parking brake being the foot brake kind. Wish it either had the hand brake or better yet had electronic brake with brake hold which we have on our Elantra and use it all the time. Also the driver seat should go back a bit more. I’m 6’1 and 210 pounds and fit fine but can’t stretch my left leg out unless it’s in between the parking brake and the brake pedal. It’s still comfortable but if I could move the seat back another inch it would be perfect to put on the foot well. Not a deal breaker or I wouldn’t have purchased it. No lane keep assist which is nice to have on the Elantra and the Sentra has lane departure warning so not sure why they couldn’t have added lane keep assist. The infotainment screen is great but I wish it were more angled toward the driver like in my Elantra rather than just straight on toward the back seat. It seems like I’m complaining but it’s more nitpicking for a car that’s $22k before taxes/fees/etc. Now the good. I love the drive. It’s smooth as silk. I know it’s a brand new car but it drives, in my opinion, better than my Elantra SEL that’s also a 2022 with 5k miles. The transmission and engine feel great and I feel connected to the road more so than my Elantra. I like the infotainment. It’s responsive with each button press and Apple CarPlay is instant when you press the button. It’s a little delayed in my Elantra but the Elantra has wireless CarPlay so there’s a bit of a delay and I’m assuming using the usb-c to lighting adapter is faster than usb-a but it’s extremely quick. The satellite presets are quick too and I love the replay feature that records 12 channels at once, two more than my Elantra. The armrest is nicely padded and extremely deep. The versa I was looking at had a laughable arm rest and the storage was almost non existent. I know it’s different price points but I will definitely say it’s worth the extra $2k to get the Sentra over the versa and the arm rest is one of the many reasons to do so. I really like the a/c vents and at max ac and max fan speed it’s extremely powerful. Probably the most powerful fans I’ve ever felt and they’re super powerful if you close the vents on the passenger side if you’re driving alone even at a lower fan speed setting. The trunk is nicely sized and the mouth of the trunk going into the cabin is gigantic compared to the Elantra. You can fit big items in that area with zero resistance. It’s a compact car but doesn’t feel that way. I’m sure through the years car dealers have been stretching the compact segment more and more so where it could have been considered a full size maybe 20 years ago. I remember riding in like a ‘99 Sentra and it was super tiny in comparison. My favorite things are the safety technology and the instrument cluster. I like how the tach and speedometer and analog and there’s a big digital cluster with a variety of info that you can see while driving, from the digital speedometer to the real time mpg. It’s really great. Our Elantra has the all digital cluster so Elantra wins there, but the Sentra is no slouch. I really like the variety of the various customization of the cluster. The adaptive cruise control is amazing. Have it on the Elantra and one reason I chose the Sentra over the versa. The 2k difference was worth it for that alone but I like the blind spot monitor on the inside instead of on the mirror. The backup camera could be better quality but honestly it does the job. As stated previously I wish it had lane tracing but not a big deal it doesn’t. I know I only had the car for a couple of hours and put 20 miles on it but don’t sleep on it. I never owned a Nissan and frankly was scared to but I was okay with getting it since it has a long warranty and I take care of my cars with maintenance. I usually go with Hyundai but they never got back to me so I put an inquiry into Nissan and within 5 minutes had an appointment an hour from the phone call and with 3 hours of the appointment papers we’re signed after I took the versa, kicks and Sentra on 10 mile test drives. The technology and safety features are great and really worth considering purchasing new. I probably wouldn’t buy a used anything these days but if you can get a new one at a decent price then go for it. I look forward to ownership for the next few years.
