  surprise - 2008 Nissan Sentra
  By memphis dude - January 7 - 6:53 am

  Although maybe not though of as a true performance car this nissan spev v has surprised me at every turn of the key. The suspension is taut and firm but never complains.. shove it into a corner and it performs. The lowered stance and stylin wheels give the car an edgy but not too over the top look while the details once you notice them are very satisfying. I love that it has plenty of power on tap and that it has plenty of room inside for my big frame. The instruments are big and easy to read and electronics are easy to use. Premium fuel is high nowadays but so is filling up a larger car with regular. I think the interior of this car is superior to larger more expensive cars.

  You cant beat this Sentra - 2008 Nissan Sentra
  By B Puck - December 22 - 3:20 am

  Had good experience with previous Nissans, so felt comfortable with the Sentra. Was looking for economy, as my Titan is a great truck, but lousy commuter vehicle. The Sentra is my first 4 cylinder car in 20 years, and is surprisingly fun to own and drive. Gas mileage beats the EPA numbers - all city driving gives me about 27 mpg, and a recent trip across the PA turnpike produced 36 mpg. Lets face it, this is basically an entry level car, but loaded with many features. Just about all of my passengers are impressed with the performance of the engine, and the smoothness of the transmission. This car has everything - good styling, great economy, and expected Nissan quality. No probs so far

  Very Happy With My SE-R - 2008 Nissan Sentra
  By SE-R Lover - December 22 - 2:10 am

  I bought the SE-R in June and have been driving it over a month. I went from a BMW 525i to this car. It is very fun to drive and very responsive. So far the gas mileage is 21 mpg, but I certainly am on the pedal a lot. Of course the interior is not like a BMW, but the acceleration is just as good as the 525. I drove the Focus, standard Sentra, Corolla, and Saturn VUE Hybrid (on a whim) and the Sentra SE-R put a smile on my face like no other. When going 80 on the highway I can feel the wind more than in the BMW, but it isnt bad and the rest of the time it is great. Here in LA I dont get lots of opportunities to drive 80 on the freeways anyways. Thanks to all who wrote reviews!

  Love the Sentra - 2008 Nissan Sentra
  By Schabotnik - December 10 - 9:53 pm

  For those in the market for a small car, I cant imagine how you can do better than the Sentra. I went from a gas guzzling, junk heap Wrangler, and havent regretted a second. Its fun to drive, handles great, quiet, smooth, great MPG. Honestly, I dont know what some of these reviewers are thinking. This thing is awesome in all regards.

  Love it!! - 2008 Nissan Sentra
  By Linda - November 19 - 4:26 am

  We test drove the Versa,Cobalt, Caliber, Yaris, Elantra, M3, and the Saturn equivalent. Versa drove the best but was just a tad too small. Then I said, lets try the Sentra! WOW! I knew right away that was the car. Great pickup, GREAT MPG (32 overall, sometimes 37 on the highway). Last weekend was the real test - we got a 9X12 carpet in and closed the trunk! Love those fold down seats!

  What a find! - 2008 Nissan Sentra
  By ams2 - November 13 - 8:36 am

  Test drove everything in its class (Honda, Toyota, and many others etc.) and the Sentra is the clear winner. Quiet, fast, loaded with options that rival much more expensive luxury cars. Bluetooth, Fosgate stereo satellite XM radio, an incredible keyless ignition system, huge trunk with hidden compartment, awesome gas mileage, moonroof. Did I mention quiet? Smooth luxury car type ride. No other car remotely matched acceleration and ride quality. Test drove against a much more expensive BMW and Sentra is a much, much, much better value. Why would anyone buy anything else??

  Best Car I Ever Had - 2008 Nissan Sentra
  By edee - November 9 - 2:50 am

  I really liked the altima, but when I saw the sentra, it was on! I didnt like the plain one, I picked out the 2.0sl with peanut butter color leather seats, sunroof etc. The ride is quiet and smooth, sound system is great. I think I made a good choice, the only thing I wish they would add is more horse power for more speed. Thank you for making a great car.

  Sentra CVT good commuter - 2008 Nissan Sentra
  By Music Lover - October 9 - 11:03 pm

  With over 20,000 miles on the car, I am very pleased with the Sentra. I use it to commute ~40 miles each way per day. Add to that weekend day trips and one 2,400 mile trip. I drive with a light foot most of the time (engine about 2,500 rpm while accelerating), and I find it smooth and quiet. When driven hard, it can be noisier than some of its peers. It has plenty of power for passing and mountain driving, even fully loaded. It find it very comfortable, even on long trips. I average 34-36 mpg driving the speed limit (65-70) in typical highway commuting, but as low as 27 mpg with mostly short trips. Ive gotten as high as 38 mpg on a tank-full on the open road at 65 mph.

  MPG takes practice - 2008 Nissan Sentra
  By wwChuckDo - October 9 - 1:30 pm

  I bought my Sentra because in my opinion it is the biggest bang for your buck. The CVT takes some getting used to. I get 35 MPG City and 36 MPG Highway. Look up Hypermiling and practice accelerating slowly barely pressing down on the gas. I may annoy some people behind me but I am saving HUGE $$$

  EX-Car Salesman - 2008 Nissan Sentra
  By EX-CAR Salesman - August 20 - 5:23 am

  After selling KIAs for about a year, my wife and I decided to purchase a new car for our new beginning family, I researched all vehicles, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Ford, Hyundai, KIA, Chevy, etc. We fell in love with this one and purchased the Blue tooth, I have never been happier in my life, it has helped especially having a one year old son. Great handling and speed, we feel safe in the car, I would highly recommend this car, and I had a 1995 Nissan Altima with 224,000 Miles and traded it in, Nissan makes a great car, although it could use a better warranty like a KIA or Hyundai. Its safe reliable, and it has the most turn and interior room of its class!
