2024 Nissan Sentra SV 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl CVT)
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.
