Overview & Reviews
ABS, cruise control and a security system become standard fare on 2.0 S models, while all 2008 Nissan Sentras gain auto-up convenience for the power driver window. Satellite radio is standard on the Sentra 2.0 SL. A manual transmission is no longer available on the base 2.0 model.
- Very spacious seating front and rear, straightforward control layout, quiet highway ride, speedy SE-R Spec V model.

Recall -check out brake fluid - 2008 Nissan Sentra
By Thomas - August 20 - 2:46 amI have only 1600 miles on my car and already the brake light warning showing on the dashboard. I check the brake fluid level and it was very low. I topped the liquid level myself and after a week the level has dropped again. Be careful and take this urgent. I am taking the vehicle to the service tomorrow for checkup. I am sure the brake fluid is leaking and the master cylinder will need to be replaced.

Nice little/big car - 2008 Nissan Sentra
By SteveNJ - July 30 - 1:50 pmMy wife and I purchased this car about 10 months ago now. We had intended on buying the Civic, but when we test drove the Sentra, it was a huge difference. The Sentra has a large interior for a "compact" sedan. The trunk is a nice size. The leather seats are quite comfortable. It has a very smooth ride and I like the CVT very much. The SL has all the features of a much more expensive car. I would recommend test driving the Sentra before deciding on a Civic or Corolla. We are very happy with our decision.

I love this car! - 2008 Nissan Sentra
By doughboy - July 29 - 10:30 pmI was originally looking at the toyota corolla. I am so glad the Sentra was sitting so proudly in the showroom. Much smoother ride than the corolla and seemed to be a much better value.

Brought it home today ! - 2008 Nissan Sentra
By grif_57 - July 4 - 7:46 amI just purchased my black 2.0 after several months of research. Drove many comparable models, domestic and foreign. My first impression and that of my wife, who first drove the car this morning, is great car. The CVT. It was a snowmobile to me first, but it really seems to work. Road noise? A little, but thats what radios are for. I was looking for a stripped down daily driver and found this rather impressively equipped S model for a better price than the others. You know who you are. Since this car has all of 36 miles in it, Im marking the build quality and reliability in the middle. Check back.

Surprised - 2008 Nissan Sentra
By Steph - June 13 - 10:30 amI dont really care for small cars. I once had a 1994 Sentra and it was too small. I had my heart set on a 2008 Max, but with the gas as high as it is, Im glad I got the Sentra. I am very impressed with this car, the speed, the interior, the exterior. The style is awesome, looks like a mini Max, if the Sentra still had the body style that they had before 2007, I would not have purchased it. The 2008 Sentra has much more room, and the accessories are the best. There are only 2 things I dont like about this car and that is the tight steering and as with any small car, the wind blows it around. I would recommend this car to anyone, plus Im a Nissan woman.

Constant Transmission problems - 2008 Nissan Sentra
By SD - April 5 - 1:46 pmBought a new 2008 Sentra S back in Feb and have had an ongoing issue with the transmission. Any time I ease off the accelerator in 4th, 5th and 6th gear, I can hear a high pitched whining sound. Started noticing it before 1,000 miles and brought it to the dealership. They test drove the car and told me it was normal. The sound kept getting louder and the dealership agreed to replace the transmission at 2,500 miles. The sound was still their after the swap, just not as loud. 6,500 miles on the car now and whine is back. Nissan says it is normal once again and refuses requests for additional work on car.

German drivability; Japanese reliability - 2008 Nissan Sentra
By Gordon - March 19 - 12:30 pmPurchased this car recently and I am very satisfied. Test drove a Honda Fit and a Civic, and after I test drove a Versa - it beat them both, however I wasnt satisfied with the amount of room so I stepped up to the Sentra. It drove the same as the Versa and was as comfortable as the Civic... all with a better price tag. Great bachelor car if youre looking for a roomy sedan that handles like a BMW. Its performance speaks for itself.

worst engine the vechicle could have - 2008 Nissan Sentra
By disappointed - January 28 - 8:20 ammy wife was in love with this vechicle. the inside design is roomy and comfortable. the engine at first was great, but after 25000 miles it started with a tapping noise that now has become annoying and loud enough we were asked if it was a decile motor. took it to the dealer ship and they said nothing wrong they even brought in a specialist and he said that it was normal?? very disappointed with the performance of this vehicle. Nissan corp. doesnt want to help. the car car now has burned a quart of oil between oil changes that doesnt seem normal. the vehicle didnt do any of this before.

Great car and good price! - 2008 Nissan Sentra
By Ray - January 20 - 2:46 pmOriginally I was interested in the Versa until I realized I could have the Sentra for a little more. I found the Sentra very roomy and lots of nice little extras such as a trip computer that will display, time, outside temp, and average fuel economy amongst other things. The Sentra is peppy with very good mpg and handles well. The styling is modern and the ride very quiet compared to our Sonata.

Very Happy With My Selection - 2008 Nissan Sentra
By Unwind2 - December 15 - 5:43 amBought the Sentra after looking at Honda Accord, Honda Civic, Toyota Carrola and Chevrolet Malibu. Im in my 50s so have owned several different makes, had a Nisson years ago that I kicked myself in the but for trading off. Ive been very happy with this Sentra. Some many things I like. Quiet ride, inteligent key...is real nice got spoiled to that in a hurry. I got the xm with fosgate stereo....awsome stereo.
