I bought my Sentra as a commuter car and I'm getting 28 miles per gallon.
Definitely not a flashy car but it gets the job done.

Transmission makes a whining noise, currently in the shop needs a new CVT only 3 y/o with 80000+ miles.
Not good gas mileage at all.

Great gas mileage.
Looks great on the inside and out.
Transmission is nice but it takes some getting used to.

Cons: How would you improve your 2008 Nissan Sentra?
Poor trim assembly from south of the border. They need better a quality assurance system.

2008 Nissan Sentra Review:
I would buy another one. I just wish the assembly workmanship on the plastic trim was better.

Pros: What do you like about your 2008 Nissan Sentra?
The car rides great, a baby cadillac, good for road trippin
Nice size room inside it feels like a larger car
Seamless automatic transmission (CVT) is very good, but you need to get use to it for sure!
Fairly good on gas but Nissan is not accurate with mileage

Cons: How would you improve your 2008 Nissan Sentra?
Put a key lock on the passenger side. Nissan got way to cheap on cutting out needed items like this
Car is not very good looking on the outside
Interior fabric probably will not hold up. After about 6000 miles fabric is creasing and pulling badly
Sloppy Mexican assembly, this is not your daddy's Japanese car

2008 Nissan Sentra Review:
I would recommend this car as a work car or to use around town or even for trips
I would not recommend this car for long term ownership, it is made with cheap materials
and built in Mexico with sloopy assembly. But if you want a car for a short term (3yrs)
and plan to run up mileage, this is a good car for you

Acceleration.

2010 Nissan Sentra Review:
We bought this Sentra new in June '10 and 1 year later it has 26,000+ miles.

This car is great. Awesome mpg. Just took it on a 1500 mile trip and got 34mpg on the Interstate with a/c running. Very comfortable car and quiet inside. The engine gets plenty of power for a 4cyl and the cvt transmission is acceptable.

The only reason I gave it a 4 for performance was it lacks in quick acceleration (ie, passing a car or getting on the interstate.)

This car (as you can tell) is a daily driver and primary family car. Not much room in the back for long-legged adults, but plenty for kids.

As far as maintenance, I do all the work myself on my vehicles and this car is a dream to work on. Oil filter is easily accessible from top, bottom, side and the engine bay is large enough to house a small v8 (just saying).

We opted for the SR model of the Sentra series and I'm glad we did. The appearance package makes it stand out from the million other Sentras on the road and coupled with the Super Black paint, it looks great and gets plenty of compliments.

Overall, this is a GREAT car for a small family or couple with lots of miles to cover. I see this car staying in our family for long time.

Pros: What do you like about your 2006 Nissan Sentra?
Gas mileage is good for a small car made after 2000. I had a 96 Sentra that was rated at 30 city 40 highway and this one is 24 and 31. My 97 never averaged below 35 and I got almost 60 in it on a road trip and that was with 269k miles on it.
But the new engines are more powerful, they can get up a hill without being floored and sounding like a weedeater like the 96. So I will take a drop in my mpgs for this because it is safer when getting on highway (I average 27 in 06).

Interior is a little plain but makes for less to break. Front seats are comfy. Rear is too small to be for many.

Trunk has lots of room.

Quiet operation and lots of city power for small sedan.

Engine compartment is spacious in 1.8 engine cars. I don't know about 2.5 versions.

Console is laid out good and special edition look is great.

Cons: How would you improve your 2006 Nissan Sentra?
Wheels without hub caps (as in full rims) standard, not steel wheels (not a big deal; those just look better to me).

Better paint (scratches rather easy, heard they fixed this in 07).

More room in rear.

Better fuel pump (can make for hard starts, but only every now and then).

2006 Nissan Sentra Review:
Great investment. I have had 2 Nissans before and never had major issues with them. Nissan in my opinion makes best cars on road and you should be served great if you buy one. All my complaints are minor and don't keep me from loving my little sedan.

Pros: What do you like about your 2009 Nissan Sentra?
Mileage is great for the roominess.

Very roomy.

Corners good, very little roll. Great family car/40 miles one way to work car. Great for trips, can put a TON of stuff in the trunk. Hidden compartment is great for spare stroller stowage! (More below)

More on brakes in my review. Engine is 2.2, you want mileage, you wont be doing 7 second 1/4 miles, but then again, if you like 25 bucks a week for gas, this is your car! We are easily getting 400+ miles on a fill up.

Cons: How would you improve your 2009 Nissan Sentra?
Okay, look, Nissan, pay attention, I'm only going to say this once:

MAKE YOUR SIDE FLIP OUT SUNGLASS/GLASSES HOLDER BIG ENOUGH TO PUT AN EYEGLASS CASE IN FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. Good grief another 1/4 inch and it's perfect!

Stupid speed controlled junk radio. For anyone else, you can shut that off under speed sensor "Audio options". Totally stupid.

Radio jack hookup for Mp3/whatever, hey, 2 wires down to the center console (Like they did with the Scion Xa) and my radio wont look like it's growing a tentacle across to the passenger seat. Jack in the middle! (But thanks for the extra power socket!)

2009 Nissan Sentra Review:
We just crashed the 2008 Sentra with S trim with just a few thousand miles on it. We now a month later have a 2009, so we were able to jump out of one into a near exact replica, with some improvements.

1. The seats have that plush material on them vs the fabric whatever on the 08, definite plus. Radio is the same, Hands Free Bluetooth is an absolute deal breaker, IF you don't have it on the car. I picked my 09 on that basis alone, which left few options for colors lol. (Silver, Blue, or White). There's no side body moldings, so the doors look kind of naked, but you can put them on yourself from dealer (55 bucks a side, well worth it), plus get a front bra from dealer (115 bucks well spent), and a rear spoiler (not the racing kind just a low profile one), and the ONLY thing different on this year vs 2008, was the auto-dimming mirror (2009 didn't have it, bummer!) BUT, remember if you are going to tint the windows (we are), then the auto-dim might veritably leave you near blind to headlights when coupled with tint. Just a thought.

Now, the engine, same engine, transmission always feels a little slippery, but I guess that's the CVT working and SOP. Also the brakes, on our 2008 model, one tiny tap and you were screeching to a halt. WAY too sensitive. This year, ahhhh, just perfect. No worries.

Since my wife is not a road demon, she sips gas, and we have stretched mileage up to 37 mpg highway, that's exactly what we got in that tiny Scion Xa!

Room, talk about room, check this out, I put FIVE (5 gallon) water bottles in the trunk, standing straight up, 4 in a row, one in front of that, with plenty of room to spare. That's without opening the hidden compartment either! WOW. Duly impressed, haven't had that much room since my Chevy Long Bed.

Plus, whoever designed that "fit a BBQ inside" glove box, THANK YOU.

Handles great, drives great, brakes great, quiet on the road, cocoon effect is dangerous but can be remedied with loud radio or conversation on the hands free Bluetooth, which shuts radio off and answers a call for you, no more missed calls on the road, YEAH!

Bravo Nissan! (And thanks for trading in my Chevy!)
