  • Good Value, Nice Features - 2006 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    Overall this is a great car. It was significantly cheaper than a Honda Civic and somewhat cheaper than the Toyota Corolla. Ive had it a while and it doesnt disappoint. My wife has a new Corolla, and although it gets better gas mileage than my Sentra, I dont think it has as much going for it. The car runs great, gets good gas mileage, and has a lot of nice features for a car that cost less than $14k. Only problems are some squeaks in the dash. Took it to the dealer twice who "never heard the squeak". Dealer experience purchasing it was good; service dept less than acceptable.

    Love my Nissy. I did not have with it any troubles at all.

  • Good car to own - 2006 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    It is a fun car to drive! its stylish with the spoiler, comfortable compare to honda civic, and relativly cheaper considering it comes with cd and ac for under $15000, roomy for a subcompact car, it is a nice car to own for daily commute with a great gas mileage.

  • Decent for the money - 2006 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    Maybe its the way I drive, but Im getting way better gas mileage than what the sticker says. It says 28C/34H. The computer inside says Im getting on average 38.1 MPG. NIIICE! Likewise, the similar 1.8L AT 2006 Corolla was rated at 32H/38H and I was averaging 38 MPG. What gives for the EPA Ratings??I regularly get 450 miles to a tank of gas. The cars engine has good pickup if I choose to slam on the gas. Sound system is great on the Special edition package.

  • 06 Sentra SE-R Spec V - 2006 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    I bought a yellow SE R Spec V in February, I love how it stuck out in the lot. In fact, the day I bought it I got a speeding ticket. I love the car, its so much fun to drive. Doesnt go too well in the snow with those little tires but thats okay. Everything else works great and it has been very reliable. It would be nice to have audio controls on the steering wheel, and would like to have better gas mileage. Overall the car is excellent.

  • Special Edition Nissan Sentra - 2006 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    This is a neat small car, with lots of extras for little extra money, e.g. Rockford Fosgate 9 speaker stereo, upgraded interior, fog lights, etc. It handles crisply with the new tires and wheels, and has decent acceleration. So far fuel econony has been great. My son has a Dakota Magnum and a Harley, yet still loves to drive the Sentra. Dealer support has also been excellent.

  • My best friend - 2006 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    I have had the Sentra for little over a month now, and am absolutely pleased with my purchase. I was looking for a simple, yet comfortable car with fuel efficiency as the most important feature. I purchased a 1.8s and was able to get many more features than Id ever expected on my "college student" income. All the features are automatic, I have a manual transmission with cruise control (I love this feature), and the trip odometer has about 6 different displays that I cannot find in any of my friends cars. I use the MPG and dte displays most frequently. After 1300 miles, I am averaging just under 32 mpg in mixed driving conditions. This care is dependable, comfortable, and a great buy!

  • The Best - 2006 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    We just bought a new Nissan Sentra 1.8S with the special edition package. I love this car. It has a really perky engine. The sound system is great...it has the 7 in dish CD player and the extra speakers. It is really sharp with the spoiler. For the price...you cant beat it. I plan on having this car for a long time. So many people have stoped me to tell how great and sporty it looks.

  • Best fun for the price - 2006 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    I have only driven the car a couple days and about 250 miles, still not broken in yet. Handles great for a front driver, Brembo brake option recomended, they work excellent. Was looking for a good car under 18K and this was the only one near that price. Civic is way too overpriced for me and no other car was even close to the Spec V in that price range. It wasnt too hard to find but had to get my blue one from Birmingham (100 miles away) after another dealer sold the black one I wanted from under my dealer. No noises, nice tight solid car, no complaints as far as quality of the car for the price. Test drive one and you will know how nice they are. Buy one.
