After driving around the Nissan Sentra for a week, I wasn't sure I was going to review it, as it just wasn't a special car at all. Then, just for fun, I checked the MSRP for the 2018 Nissan Sentra S with the CVT transmission, and when I found out it stickered for around 18K, I knew I had to make a video to warn people NOT TO BUY THIS!

Anyone want to vote this guy "Worst reviewer of the year"?
He's beating on this car and expected to be like a large sedan. I have a 2018 Sentra SR and it I like mine. It drives normal just like any other cars in this class. LOL
Ofc~
Ouch that’s harsh
Yes the worst
I like my car it’s just fine
Bro it's an economy car not a supercar.
You smell like a Honda fanboy to me.
This guy is a joke
Totally
@@FlyinGato
Yes you are a joke! You call this car hot garbage but you fail to realize that this car is the least expensive in its class, its a point A to B car!
It's not though, that was my biggest problem with it, I could get a Hyundai or a Yaris or a Honda Fit for cheaper, and they are way better
@@FlyinGato
Honda fit and toyota yaris are not the same vehicle class! Corolla and Civic are more comparable.
Civic: $19550
Corolla: $19600
Sentra: $17780
Elantra: $17300
Elantra is slightly cheaper but I have driven the Elantra and it is also just as basic and sad, also why would you buy a hyundai?
@@dillonh321 I don't understand how you can say that the Yaris and Sentra don't belong in the same category. I've owned both. I would pick the Yaris any time over the sentra it's a no brainer. Did you ever check the mpg yourself? Don't believe the computer, the sentra has terrible actual mpg. Dude try the Yaris, itt's seriously so much better. Especially with the options you can get for what you'd pay for a sentra.
Lol it’s a family car
Speakers are nice
Gas mileage is dope as fuck
It looks great for the price
The colors they come in, (I have the blue) look awesome.
Sounds pretty nice for a 4 cylinder.
Seats are comfortable.
I drove 4 of my friends to a club in my Sentra and they all liked how comfortable it was inside and how smooth it was.
They kept complimenting it, no joke.
The tablet is very responsive
Trunk space is great, it has a break sensor at the front which is nifty
And for a small car, it’s very spacious.
Cruise control locks in super quick.
It has enough power to quickly cut someone off lol
It’s a nice car, man.
You’re simply mad that it’s not a “cool” car.
That’s your issue.
But it doesn’t make the car a bad car.
It’s a great, safe, and comfortable family car.
I literally had to let go of my Nissan 370z this weekend for a family car because I’m about to have a child, and you know what’s crazy?
I’m actually very happy about my trade in for my new 2019 Sentra!
I was expecting to be sad about leaving my 370z
But I’m actually comfortable and happy with it
Those are my 2 cents
You’re honestly just bias as hell, man.
What kind of transmission do you have in your car?
Great comment man! I loved test driving it today felt so nice and just fits my style. Than I saw peoples bias opinions saying it's not sporty enough...but like you said it's not a sports car it's a family/commuter/gas-saver/great for Uber and other mobile services. Everything in the car worked well, I'm definitely considering it.
I couldn't have said it any better man.
I’m driving a Sentra 2004 1.8 5 speed manual with 660,000 miles and still running!!!! 😼
I've never gotten decent miles per gallon lit of the piece of shit MRA8DE.
Oh no...Sentra is bad!!!! Are you kidding? Sentra is a real practical & fantastic driving experience, I think you're bias dude...
Given the pending lawsuit regarding transmission I think someone here is biased indeed.
Krullerized Could you provide a link because I’m considering buying a 2018 Nissan Sentra and the last thing I need is transmission problems.
It has been an unreliable pile for me, and I perfer high mileage 90s cars, decided to buy new so I didn't have to work on it, and it breaks more then any older car I have ever owned
Bruh nissan is trash 🗑
Yaya D don’t buy it! Don’t get a shit Nissan
You’re comparing a regular $18.000 sedan with a $30.000+ sport car,is like me comparing the GTR with a Prius 😐 get a life dude go wash your honda
Fine: I will compare the $17,000 2019 Nissan Sentra against the first car I drove: A 1963 Volkswagon beetle that was already 7 years old. At least I could get in and out of the VW without having to fold myself like a pretzel to get my head to clear the doorframe. And we could have bought about 10 or 20 of those VW's for the price of the Sentra. LOL! Granted, my second car, a 1962 Ford Falcon station wagon was way worse than the Sentra. Nobody should put a 90hp engine in any sort of station wagon. I think the VW had more horsepower. Glad my dad borrowed the Ford and totaled it when I'd only had it a month. My next car after that was a 1963 Chevy Biscayne station wagon. LOTS of space! We even made a bed in the back with the seat folded down that would fit two people in sleeping bags opened out flat and zipped together to make a double-wide sleeping bag. Did lots of car camping in that one! Anyone trying to make out in the back of the Sentra is just going to hurt themselves. When I finally replaced the '63 Chevy station wagon, it was 22 years old and had over 240,000 miles on it and got to the junkyard under its own power. I wonder where these Sentra's will be when they're 20+ years old?
He was only pointing out how his Civic SR gets better miles than the Sentra despite it being a sports car.
You pick out a line from a sentence and you twist it, it’s pathetic. I was looking into buying this car, am grateful for this info cos am saving potential dollars along the road
@@EmmanuelOnweShow how was getting the Sentra go for you Eman?
Dude it’s a point a to point b car not a sports car toy.
Timbucktoo Rock I agree. It makes no sense for people to complain about the Sentra’s 0-60 time, handling etc. My senior citizen parents have a 2017 and they like it. It is a roomy, fuel efficient car. They use it to go shopping, doctor’s appointments etc. If someone wants a sports sedan, then go out and buy a used BMW 3-Series.
Agreed, I have a 2014 Sentra and this is at the end of its generation line so it's bound to be outdated. When I first got mine it was comparable to other point A to B cars, and with better gas mileage at the time. Bonus: most CVT's kinda suck so stop Honda fanboying lol
Marshall Street there transmissions are crap though
It all 90s tech in 2020. Take away the radar and you have the most dated thing of this era. The engine is atrocious, and ineffecient. By far the worst thing out of Japan. Kia quality for 10k more
I had the 2013 Nissan Sentra and I use to beat most bmws and Benz on the highway here in New York . I love the sentra , if I could have one again I would . The sentra is a very good car & it last . yea the only thing was the CVT , 1 gear ratio but everything else is awesome . this guy reviewing the car is delusional lol . He should have tested the same Nissan in the ACTUAL Nissan dealership maybe u wouldn't have heard any vibrations lol, also this can be a good sports car . Mine had mods and it was dropped ( slammed ) with 19 inch bbs rims and cold air intake AEM my car was fast . Sentra is very good , idk what ya talking about lol
This guy it's literally comparing the sentra with a civic type r?? ..... Wtf
Yeah, and he did not mention the price difference. lol… He's just an idiot who knows nothing and tries to make people believe him.
So? I have this 2019 Nissan Sentra rental I have to compare to my 2008 Honda Odyssey EX-L that's in the repair shop for a week. I'm literally comparing a $17,000 kids car to a $55,000 old farts van for people who just want to get into their car without having to figure out which limb to fit in first so they aren't stuck halfway. Tip to people who order all-black interiors like this Sentra: The all-black interior renders the meager inside cabin lighting completely useless. If you dropped something in the car, you're not going to find it at night without a flashlight.
I cannot wait until my car is back from the shop. I am going to love it ever so much more after riding a week in this thing that feels like I'm an adult riding in a battery powered Barbie car for kids.
I don't know what's worse.....a CVT trans or your review 🤷
Definitely, I know this guy, he’s trash!!
His stupid review. I own a 2018 Sentra SR and it as good as any other small car. Sure if you push as hard as this reviewer you will hear the engine noise but it cruse quietly on freeway and ride and drives good.
This mans review was personal LOL 😂 sounded like he needed to review Avis for not “upgrading” him. Like a Sentra is a commuter car 🤷🏼♀️ it’s not a maxima 😂
Very brutal review. If you press on gas the way you did every car is going to sound like that.
going instantly to the floor in a cvt car as this guy does actually gives you slower acceleration. It takes longer for the cvt to spool up this way.Spool up is the same as shifting gears in a regular automatic transmission car. To get the best increase in speed you press down a little quicker than normal but do not just snap it down. To see what I mean by spooling up just Google how a cvt transmission works and you will see videos of it.Also agressively hammering on a cvt will greatly reduce it's life span. They just cannot take it and get the cvt fluid changed every thousand miles and you won't have problems.
GEEZ....not everyone floor boards a car, some of us just want to drive gently around. I have an extended warranty for the transmission, and so far it has been a comfortable road trip car, and great for around the town. Also, I got all the bells and whistles for a reasonable price.
It’s an affordable car for families and singles on a budget. I don’t own one, but for the price of the car and it’s fuel economy ratings, this is a good value. Not everyone wants or can afford a better car. This one is just fine.
I think you are just a Nissan hater talking shit about car. My cousin owns a 2017 Sentra SR with that same engine and transmission (wich I have driven a couple times my self) and I own a 2.4l Honda Accord. I think the Nissan has the same if not better power and definitely better fuel mileage than my Accord (wich by the way the Accord is a higher category vehicle and by that I mean Accord is a full sedan while the Sentra is a compact sedan) Also CVT transmissions don't have gears wich make the engine sound like it's sliping or stuck in a gear. They are build for fuel economy not for "sporty sound". The Sentra comes with a sport mode wich when activated and floored it does not make that loud stuck in a gear sound like it's about to blow up like that particular one you drove (wich by the way IT'S A RENTAL!) No one knows what people have done to that car.
And Honda people, I'm not talking shit about the Honda. I think both cars have there pros and cons. Either way they are both great cars and modern (unlike this dummy said). Just pick the one you love the most. Because if you treat any car the right way and do your maintenance on time, they will last for ever!
My 2019 Sentra is just fine, you also said that's a rental, probably been beat a bit
It’s. An. Economy. Car.
The usual journalistic, “treat it like a sports car.”
But at the end I give a list of better economy car alternatives
All the cars I mentioned are cheaper and better
if it's an economy car why is it 18 grand?
He’s not reviewing it as a sports car. He’s simply reviewing as you would other cars, Sentra is just trash
Except it's not an economy car. I had it mpg is between 24-27 max (real mpg don't believe the computer it's lying). Heck my camaro is more fuel efficient than this junk.
I bought a 2019 Sentra. No complaints with my 2013 Sentra after 4 years of ownership so I replaced it with a 2019. If you drive a car with a CVT like you are at the racetrack in a manual car you will be disappointed.
I got a 2018 manual sentra. Handles great. 42 mpg after 50 thousand miles. I can drive the shit out of it with the manual transmission.
Not agree with you. Too much complain. Sorry
He seems like a complaining type of guy. He probably complains on a daily basis lol
If you think the Sentra is bad wait til you drive the VERSA 😂
oh man, I almost want to try it out to see how bad it could be. If only it had ONE redeeming quality, I wouldn't have made this video
FlyinGato time to rent the Versa now, I liked this video. It’s honestly quite sad where nissan’s car lineup has gone.
E SEAGULL lol right I’m dying of laughter when I saw this comment the Vera’s sucks ass Sentra isn’t bad my mom has one as a rental but she has a rouge now
We had a Versa and it was cursed! Literally just yesterday we were told we had to get something from Nissan because they’d put so much $ into it and it still wasn’t able to be driven. We were told a used car wasn’t an option because we’d need more of a down payment and we would be able to put whatever expenses we already owed towards the Sentra. We were renting a Sentra for a while anyway, just happy to have heat again.
My Versa has been pretty good. Granted mine is a 2011 automatic. Not a CVT.
I had a Sentra that I got 300000 miles out of........this looks like a luxury sedan compared to that 1993 sentra. I love it!
i currently have a 2018 sentra sv, and i love it. im coming from a 2012 Toyota corolla. I have nothing to complain about. It gets me from point a to b, its good on gas, and i think it looks good.
Calculate mpg yourself the car is lying to you. Real mpg is between 24-27 ON HIGHWAY.
Don't believe the ludicrous 38-40mpg it's a lie.
Like seriously a Camaro is better on gas mileage than this car. If a gas guzzler is better on gas than this car what does that mean?
I got a 2017 sentra sv
@@xx294yes but a Camaro isn’t nearly as cheap.
Bro I just a bought a 2019 Sentra. I love it. I love the interior and i love the way it drives too. It’s not a sports car so don’t treat it like one. All cars are good if you take care of it. There’s a saying, you take care of the car, the car will take care of you.
Compare real mpg vs the one that your car gives you. And return the car for false advertising before its too late.
Lionel X Boi I think you’re the false advertisement I just calculated mine myself last week and I’m getting 34-37
@@kickenchicken3753 Weird because mine would get 26 on freeway
I have the Nissan Sentra 2016 sr and my car does not sound like that! Lol I love my car! This guys is supper bias!
Notice he put the car in "L" when he floors the car... This is a point A to point B car ...good space looks good...most can be had for 11k in only 2 years. Cvt trans is "Ok"...
honestlly thought he did that or turned overdrive off. he's a joke
These cars did have their problems with cvt but I think that was when they first came out and then between 2012-2018 mostly. Plus like the saying goes u take care of it and it will take care of you in most cases now
NIssan Sentra seems designed for small people. I'm only 5'7" & 185 lbs. but I hit my head on the door frames getting in and out every time. Until I jacked the car seat all the way down as low as it would go, I didn't even fit between the seat and the top of the door frame while getting in, and had to practically lay my head on my shoulder to get in. The door sill is ridiculously high, so that you have to lift your feet about 5 or 6 inches just to get them up and over it while exiting the car. I was given this car as a rental while my Honda Odyssey EX-L is in the shop (thanks to some jerk who side-swiped it on Christmas eve in a parking lot while I was in the store, and who left no note so I'm stuck paying my deductible.) I'm glad I only have to drive this car a few days at most. My wife, who weighs between 250 and 290 lbs, can't possibly fit into this car even on the passenger side. This car is obviously designed for limber, young, short, skinny people who care more for looks than comfort - not for old farts like me who want to just get into a car, not have to put it on like a wrapper.
Why waste a review on a lower model, Try the SR Turbo 6 Speed.
This dude must be really upset because this car outranks and outsells the car he drives. Definitely a fake review.
i love my sentra 😍
I love my sentra
You trippin im renting one now and this is a perfect commuter and family car.Plenty space,pretty peppy and great gas milage..this coming from a Mustang owner
It may not be everyone’s cup of tea. I have driven a used 2010 Versa since 2016 with no major issues. 18k is pretty steep for a new Sentra but once it’s 2 to 3yrs old the price will drop below 10k. I see used 2019s for under 10k. The 2010 Versa is not my first choice but It definitely gets me where I need to go reliably. It had 107,000 miles on it when it got it for 3,800k. Now it has 203,000 miles and still going strong.
Rubbish you step on the gas and claim it sounds loud? Clearly you drive a Civic and a Honda fanboy so your comments are full of bias>=.
Well I think Hyundai and Kia are better than this Sentra, as is the Corolla, and not by a little bit.
@@FlyinGato Hyundai and Kia better?? You may wanna change jobs kid.................
Lol this guy ehh? Review was so trash.. Not even accurate.
How was I inaccurate
Let's start with the fact that this is an SR and not an S.
Bro acting like you need a hellcat just for a daily driver and to have a great driving experience. The Sentra is an easy to drive and you can zip around in it especially in the Sport Mode to an extent.
I have an 18 SR turbo and absolutely love it. I'll take 35mpg in today's fuel prices.
I've owned 3 Sentra's in my life and each one took great care of me, '87 , '94 Limited Edition and my current '13 SR. I'd give up power over fuel economy any day since my round trip commute is 110 miles. She takes care of me and I do all the maintenance even the CVT w/ fluid/filter changes currently 100k. Plus she trucks around my two small boys (who trash the inside from time to time LOL). No issues yet
Sorry but not agree
You think the Sentra is better than the fit, or Elantra?
I don't think is that bad and I am a Honda guy mi wife she owns one and is been great for her but I like nissan vs Hyundai
I really wish I had seen this review before I purchased my car in October 2018!! I've had to replace the transmission 2 times now!! Both times I had to argue with Nissan to get them to cover the repair at 100% The loud engine is also very true!
My transmission went got a new one now something else is wrong with it battery light kept coming on it’s stopped working while I was driving on multiple occasions I think my alternator is going now definitely don’t buy a Nissan I’m stuck in a 5 year contract ughhhhhhh my sister and friend both have Nissan’s and both have had to get new transmissions my cars transmission is also still not fixed even tho I got a new one
The interior is way better than some of the others. Like the tablet on the dash of the Mazda 3 that looks like badly installed addon, and the digital speedometer in the Civic, that just look horrible in my opinion. The CVT works fine. If you can't drive it smoothly, you need to learn how to drive. You're just bias and are a Honda fanboy, always talking about your Type-R. Look at the price of the Type-R compare to the Sentra. Duh! As for people not buying them… There are many around here. We see a lot of them. As for Hyunday? They have NO resell value, and are crap. Their engines fail before the waranty ends, way before. in MANY of them. The Honda Fit is way smaller than the Sentra.
In my opinion. You sir are an horrible reviewer who is totally bias and has NO idea what he is talking about. Probably payed by Honda for making this video.
Man this guy cracks me up!
I have a 2016 version I think it’s perfectly fine I think it’s pretty fun especially in sport mode haha, but honestly for the 3 year difference the 2019 version, I kind of see where this guy is coming from, for 2016 I can overlook a lot of things but honestly the 2019 version deserves the harshness, for not changing much in 3 years but, as a Sentra owner I recommend make it fun, add led lights In the entire, try to remove the wheel gap, add nice rims the Sentra can look sexy af with the right rims, honestly have fun with it, obviously its not going to be fun right out the gate haha
Ya car in sport mode couldn’t beat my 08 accord on a bad day😭😭😭😭
@@henryneil567 wouldn’t wanna be seen in a 08 car even if it was faster tbh 😂
@@luisgomez1025 my car modified it look way better than ya shit trust and believe that😂
@@henryneil567 not with that fitment Neil 💀
Bought one, and I agree 100% with this review. Not sure if there's a problem with my car specifically, it jerks a little when you let off the gas and it also pulls a bit when you brake. It is almost impossible to come to a smooth stop
Idk i feel differently about it I'm 6'2" and feel comfortable in it seats are comfortable and there cloth seats. And as far as acceleration it sounds like your foot is to heavy. Sounds like you just want to drive sporty cars.
If you expect manual transmission type gas pedal operation CVT feels so bad. CVT was meant to be designed to have steady gas pedal operation, NOT up and down like the conventional transmission (no jerky motion). If you do that it feels horrible. FYI: Nissan CVT technology was used for Japanese Bullet Trains. If you have been on them, you know how smooth they are. You hear the constant steady hum of the motor at the same frequency tone, NOT UP AND DOWN. That's how it was designed for. If you expect to drive like a sport car, don't even get in a car with CVT. AND DON'T EVEN COMPARE.
Honda's CVT, Toyota's CVT and even Subaru's CVT are way better
5:11 got his parking break light on, was it pulled up the entire time he was driving ?
No if the break are pulled up that car is going to warn you
How can you call this car “junk” with 0 redeemable qualities, when you merely reviewed this car based on its appearance and driving performance. How about try doing some research?
You drove the base model. The Sentra Nismo SR would give you the kick you’re whining about. This car has the highest safety rating among its class (according to the IIHS and NHTSA). Gets great gas mileage. Mine averages 37.5 and have gotten up to 40mpg multiple times. It’s also the roomiest vehicle in its segment and price for new models is very affordable compared to the Civics, Corollas, and Elantras. Consumer Reports reliability tests rated this car above average to its competition, with an above average consumer satisfaction.
By the way, Corollas and Civics sell for around $12-13k too after being on the market for over a year. It’s called supply and demand.
I recommend potential buyers to do their own research and not bother with anything said by this uniformed individual. Then, you can compare my facts to his opinions.
Resale is nothing you're better off buying a Hyundai. I sold my civic si for 20k after 2 years and I paid 22k out the door brand new. Won't happen owning a Datsun
d1zguy Reselling your car for $2k less than what you bought it for brand new 2 years ago, sounds more like the exception than the norm. Use any car search engine and you’ll be hard-pressed to see any car retain that much resale value, unless it’s a sports car or a classic. I do agree Hyundai are just a bit better than Nissan in terms of resale value.
Hmm, not so sure. You can do the the same right now. Buy a 18 or 19' civic si for 22k out the door or close to it drive it for 15-24 months and sell it trade in for 20k.
Also heavily dependent on the model and trim and options. A civic touring of the same year would have been worth 19k even though it costs 4k more than msrp for a si.
My sister’s 2014 Sentra S transmission just went out and she’s only at 73k miles
I guarantee she never checked the oil or changed the fluid & filter
@@NewJerseyPhiladelphiaDelaware Most likely very true. The transmission fluid should be changed every 30,000 miles, especially for a CVT. It is not a forgiving transmission unless it is properly taken care of. I make sure I do the flush every 30,000 on my 2011 Sentra. And the power steering fluid, brake fluid and radiator coolant should not be ignored either. They all break down and should be changed so all the components that rely on those fluids don't turn to crap.
That's still under the Nissan warranty though
Rented a new one for a couple of weeks and I would never buy one. It looks kind of cool IMHO, but after hundreds of miles it started to feel really flimsy on the road and would vibrate and make a ridiculous amount of noise of the freeway. The mileage was pretty darn good though.
Sam Most of the noise from a car comes from the rubber tires and not the car itself.
2017 civic hatch lx standard transmission 19k that's a deal
I had a 2010 Sentra spec V manual and the tranny went in that after 20000 miles. I also had a 2013 sentra sr cvt. First thing on a cold morning it sounded like the motor was going to blow up while speeding up. I was a honda guy in my younger years and after these 2 experiences i am going Honda again, maybe, lol.. Either type R or Golf R. Im 40 and i dont know what a guy with 4 kids would look in a Type R. But i bet it would look good next to our honda Odyssey.
Love the channel bud! Cheers!!!
Andrew hand age is a state of mind, get it and be a cool dad
When its cold it doesnt lock the tq converter so it revs high until operating temp if you're not easy on the gas
I've never watched a so terrible review ...he can't even describe the right trim for the car!
Sentras are known for that since the early days. 1980s. 124 horse power.
Whats is opinion on manual gear sentra?
I think my Sentra is dope I get great mileage smooth ride for a broke dude it’s a gem I have a 2016 sr n it’s way cheaper than a Honda or Toyota I agree There are some issues but for the price I can’t complain 💯
its bad , slow acceleration, also it can't go uphill that well.
Cheaper than a honda or toyota? What drugs are you taking I want them.
@@CSSuccessGamer mine goes great up hill, better than the Hyundai I had
Thank you for helping our search for a teenager's car!
😂😂
I owned a 2008 Sentra (bought new) and I agree with everything you said. For as weak as the engine was and how small the car is, it only gave me 30 highway, 22 city mpg. It was an econo box without the economy. I owned it for 8 years and I would not recommend it. I put 70k miles on it and had no major mechanical issues other than the AC compressor failure. I would buy a Toyota Corolla over this, hands down. If you want performance, I’d go civic. I switched to a Prius.
Prius are probably the best made car out there
FlyinGato I like the Prius. My only complaint is road noise which I will address by soundproofing all the doors. 3rd gen Prius can go to 300,000+ miles and the Sentra often die around 120-150k.
"Honda fanboy" lol!! Love it
Mazda.
Drive one & you'll never want another car.
ZambonieDude what about the Miata, or even the RX7 and RX8?
BASITH PH What do all of those cars share in-common?
They're.. Mazda vehicles?
i thought that was the point I was getting across but...
ZambonieDude yeah but for some reason costs more to lease than a civic or corolla which are more dependable
That’s false LMAO. Own many Volkswagens and Mazda’s, you KNOW what quality feels like even in a base model Volkswagen. Heated seats, all four automatic windows, two zone climate control, notched doors so they don’t chop your legs off, soft touch leather everywhere, most importantly, NO CVT.
You can go on UA-cam and look up reviews for any vehicle out there and I mean any vehicle you will find people that will praise and people that’ll trash, so really, it’s just a matter of opinion
For what you pay for it I believe it’s a great car and a great daily driver
I bought my 2018, in 2018, it, just as a get around car, work and everyday life things. was a great car, didn't need fun, just reliable, and that it was. Kept up the maintenance, and it ran like a dream. No transmission issues, but in every car, issues are a hit and miss. I got mine because it had a good crash test rating, and just recently it saved my life in a t-bone accident going about 44mph (not my fault). When I got out of the car, radio was still playing, and everything on the dash still worked perfectly fine. Cop even started it and moved it, unfortunately it was a total loss. If your looking for speed and fun, then yeah I don't recommend. But for me, my 2018 sentra, was a great car, I just happened to get a good one. Lol!
I do have to agree, the seats are horribly hard and uncomfortable on long drives.
I have a 2018 and I love it. I upgraded from the 2002. You clearly don’t know about what you’re talking about. If you really want to push the car turn it to Sport and you’ll do fine.
I bought it 😭 the SL but it’s comfortable for me lol Thanks for the video
It's okay girl I have a 2015 SR and I love mine
Girlfriend just got one last week, this dude is literally smashing on the gas pedal and expecting to respond like a fucking Ferrari, he definitely a Honda fan boy, probably drives a 91 Honda Civic,
I just bought my 2019 S cvt. This Car is warranty safe for the time I'm paying on it. I work security at night. I sit in my vehicle for extended hours. I like it.
Lou Stefanou haha same here lol I bought this car thinking it’s better than the 02 Durango I had. CVT just need to be flushed 30,000 to 60,000 miles.
I bought an elantra i had to put down more money but i was damnnned if i would be stuck with that for years
I like the dashboard of the Nissan Sentra vehicle. I have rented these and thought it was good ride and found the car peppy enough. I like the looks, front and back of the Sentra. I think the price is competitive. I rented twice from Hertz while traveling. I do agree that Sonata is very nice car for the money, South Korean cars still seem to have price advantage.
I just rented this car and yea the ride is pretty harsh, driver seat was uncomfortable and the transmission was a bit jerky. Sounds like you have a lead foot my dude lol like the review tho
The new Nissan's look nice, but they suck like you said, and their CVTs are the worst! If I had to buy a new cheapest car, it would be a Honda Fit Sport. Right now, the cars I would consider seriously, are the Honda Civic Sport/Si models, the Subaru Impreza Sport Hatchback, Crosstrek Limited, and now, I really want a Forester Sport. If I went performance under $40K, I would get the 2019 WRX Premium Dark Blue Pearl CVT or 6 Speed with the shirt throw shifter kit, and the Performance package Recaro seats, upgraded brakes and sunroof delete. The 2019 finally has the big touch screen radio with Android Auto, Apple Car Play, and a CD Player! I also heard the Toyota is working on getting Android Auto in their new cars, so I finally can consider those when they are available, as Toyotas are great, reliable cars. If I went to a bigger sedan, I would get the Accord Sport 2.0L Turbo...
Your in a base sentra, what do you expect for 16 grand? 2 grand less than comparable civic or corolla. And its made in your home country. Mehico
Just brought a 2018 Sentra. Idk, didnt have any problem accelerating. And it wasnt jerky. But hey, I live in NYC.
yea I really don't like that CVT in it
@@FlyinGato had to go look that up. Lol. Mr. Car expert. I was like, CVT? Wtf is that? Lmao. See how much I know.
I bought one with 51K miles. It runs quite good... peppy
Honda makes the worst automatic transmission fanboy. They give you 100000 miles on the power train.
Lmao maybe in 2001 idiot I would rather have my 17 civic than an 19 Sentra
Wait, what kind of car do you have?
I just bought a 2017 sr turbo manual and I love it!
try search people having back problem driving honda fit for longer trips....
And I thought the transmission was bad... till I watched this!!!!
A colleague of mine has this car, it is called Sylphy here in china, it has not less than 10 shades of beige in the interior too :( Horrible compared to my civic and costs only a little less!
awful, the Civic is SO much better than the Sentra, I don't know what Nissan is thinking!!
I don’t hate the Sentra but it’s a bad decision car. The MSRP of the Sentra vs the Altima, I’d pay an extra 5-7k for the Altima just to have better comfort, interior, etc.
I have a 2018 Nissan Sentra and it’s the same way, it makes the same noise when I drive off and has no power, I barley push on the gas and it raps up rpm to around 3-5 rpm it’s a piece of junk and I just bout it a few months ago
My 17 sentra sr is awsome...and no issues so far..love it...
Ha. Driven that crap for a week, rental, top trim SV. Really underwhelming, no blind spot monitoring, no back cross traffic detection, no heated steering wheel. Infotainment system looks like bought for cheap on AliExpress. Prone to freezes. Backup camera is lagging.
Hyundai Elantra is WAY better, just get next trim above the base
No heated steering wheel on an $18,000 car? OMG, that's inexcusable! LOL!
@@barryervin8536 Yup. And I have it on Elantra 2018, which is cheaper than Nissan :) The damn thing even has leather on it.
DeFragIans Heated steering wheel isn’t really needed. The AC can do the job. The 2019 entertaining system is pretty good. How is the backup camera laggy? Are you driving an old model or what. It’s maybe not better than Elantra in your opinion, but the Sentra is an awesome cheap car. Maybe it doesn’t have blind spot monitoring, but it does have an emergency braking system.
@@somebody479 Well. Here in Canada it's pretty damn good thing to have. Maybe it was 2018 model. The rental company usually getting top trims here, so I went between Chrysler 300s, Sentra and Mitsubishi Outlander while my car was fixed. Funny enough, on 300s Bluetooth had hiccups playing music from my phone. All other cars were fine. And Sentra was barely moving on chilly mornings unless I'd floor it.
I'm looking at value for money and so far Hyundai or Kia are great. Toyota - if you want something for long term.
@@somebody479 And backup camera was ... Like in FPS shooter with cheap video card, doing 20-25 frames. Mostly ok but skipping a frame or two once in a while. Not critical but annoying
Scotty kilmer agrees with us ;)
Damn Avis you done @#$&ed-up🤣
I only use enterprise now
wait till you drive the new corolla with cvt
I have one and I hate it will be getting rid of it soon
Omg this is hilarious! You're taking it personal bro. You really hate this car lol. I rented one before. I just thought it was okay. Glad you like Hyundai. So do I.
I really don’t like incompetence in anything
I would go for Toyota Corolla hands down, never fails on you.
18k sticker probably costs nissan 2k to make at scale. lol
I actually liked the Sentra interior
I love my 2014 Sentra sr it’s not a. BMW or Benz but a good car deff a eye catcher
i would buy the base model
with a 6 speed
Bro everything this guy said is on point my flooring in the car is so cheap an the engine an transmission is trash 🗑
Yea, it's unfortunate they made this car so poorly
Nissan Sr not S base model
Got a dealer trying to get me I'm a Chevy spark or Nissan sentra saying if I trade it in a year they'll pay it off and I can move up....he claims they are very reliable vehicles lol. I'm like dude I can just save $5-10k and get a newer Gen honda civic or accord from carvana delivered right to me with many more perks, without the annoying hassle of car salesmen. The guy had the nerve to tell me the sentra or spark would be a "blessing" for me 🤣
I'll only buy a honda or Toyota period.
There's a smaller Nissan up here in Canada. It's the Nissan Micra and would drive circles around that junk. Crazy thing about it, it MSRP's for $10k Canadian. It's the platform for cheapest race car. (micracup.com)
I drive a 2020 Nissan maxima sr which is very confortable which cost.over 40 grand,brough my daugther a usé 2019 sentra 25,000 miles for $12,500 car is perfect and rids good but you can't compare it to a $40,000 car you get what you pay for it's obvious when you get into a expensive car or used to driving one a cheaper car is going to feel different. I was surprised of the power the little car had
For what you can get one now, these are great. Especially with the warranty. only get it with a warranty. On the freeway if you learn how to communicate with the car its not terrible. But you will have to switch to the right lane when going up a hill lmao.
I agree with this guy. I like the look of it but the engine is awful. I drive on the freeway everyday to work and the engine sounds horrible just trying to keep up with the speed of the traffic.
Not agree, with respect to your review, your reasons and judgments are more personal, I have a 2019 and I love the interior design it's "simple beauty" and very comfort for me, the drive and transmission is smooth, May be this car is not good for kind of young and fast drivers or the people looking for highly decorated interiors but I think it's perfect for the middle age drivers like me.
FlyinGato, why did you expect the Sentra to be cheaper. The Corolla, and Civic all start under 20k like the Sentra. FlyinGato, the Sentra is a COMPACT CAR. You don't understand.
Considering this is an SR...
