I love my car!! - 2008 Nissan Sentra
By Chris713 - April 10 - 5:56 amLove the Saddle leather, love the Rockford Fosgate system with integrated Bluetooth, love the performance. CVT requires learning to get optimal fuel mileage. I get 28-30 city & 34 hwy. Original Bridgestones were only good for 20K miles but I expected that. All around, I love my car and I actually traded down from a Maxima. only 1 minor drag is that theres only 1 power outlet. WHY? Its a great car for the money. Ive had ZERO problems and Ive got close to 30K on the odometer. Couldnt say the same for my Max.

Sentra lover - 2008 Nissan Sentra
By C.Kushner - March 12 - 6:36 amI went shopping for an economical car for a reasonable price, and found it and more. With all the equipment and luxury car features the car has, it cant be beat. The ride is smooth and quiet and roomy. The CVT makes it very responsive.

I love my Sentra! - 2008 Nissan Sentra
By jessbugg - January 20 - 7:26 pmI bought my Sentra used from a dealership in early 2010, it was originally a rental car so had a few extra miles on it. I have put over 40,000 miles on it mainly driving back and forth from TN to FL for school and I have never had any problems. Its a great car, gets good gas mileage on the highway and I have not had problems with an "uncomfortable ride" I only recently replaced my tires & brake pads but the car has 70,000+ miles on it now. Ive had no issues with the engine or anything under the hood, but I do get regular oil changes and maintenance checks since I do so much highway driving. Everyone always thinks my car is newer than an 08, I love it!

Not a Japanese car - 2008 Nissan Sentra
By Chris - November 29 - 9:43 amThe fit and finish is awful. The hood and trunk are off center.The trunk so much it almost touches the rear 1/4 panel on one side and has a 1/4 inch gap on the other. The plastic dash is not smooth and the edges stick up. The cheap labor shows here. The eyeglass holder is so hard to open you wind up pulling it from the dash. I dont even use it anymore. Bumps can be teeth jarring. Gas mileage is less than stellar. At this pricepoint there are much better choices. Shop around. This car will be going back at lease end and I will be back at Ford. Also no power seats rather an antiquated crank to raise seat height

Reliable, economical and not bad looking - 2008 Nissan Sentra
By silverelan - November 6 - 9:35 pmWife and I bought our Sentra new and have been very happy with it after 85000 miles. Just change the oil, follow the maintenance schedule and slap on some new tires as needed. I love the smooth CVT with no shift points, the engine power wont win any drag races but gets the job done. I have taken the Sentra on several West Coast road trips over mountain passes and even fully loaded we make it thru just fine. Good gas mileage on the freeway though I struggle around 23-25mpg in the city. Newer cars will do better in town but thats to be expected. Plenty roomy inside and the interior has held up well over the years. Overall we have been happy with the vehicle.

All I need in a car - 2008 Nissan Sentra
By KW - October 2 - 3:46 amAfter owning only American cars I love my Nissan Sentra, my wife owns an 06 Altima. We have 5 kids, 3 at home, and this car is quick (CVT), great gas mileage, 29 city and 34 Hwy. I am 62 and find it very comfortable with space left in the back for an adult with extra head room. I think it is very quiet and runs on the highway very smoothly for a small car. Now is it like my pervious Lincoln Towncar, no way. But is far better than any other midsize car I have owned. The only complaint is winter time in Iowa, being small it can be a challenge to drive in very heavy snow. I love this car and it is all I need.

Great Deal - 2008 Nissan Sentra
By Cory - September 12 - 11:56 pmDriving Impressions: CVT is something well have to get used to, steering/suspension are a little tight, very good gas mileage, accel. is very good considering its a 4-cyclinder. Interior is decent, trunk space kinds folled me, didnt realize there was a hidden compartment at first. Vehicle was purchased for my wife, she likes it, even though she preferred the Scion.

My baby red is a lot of fun to drive. - 2008 Nissan Sentra
By Diana Roman - September 11 - 8:40 amMy kids and I love "Baby Red". It doesnt feel like you are driving a small car because have good movements and is very roomy inside. I feel like a "cool mama" driving this car. The only negative thing is not too stable while applying the brakes. The poor thing is taking a beating traveling around 70 miles a day and is holding up like a champ.

Very Impressed - 2008 Nissan Sentra
By Mark - August 19 - 3:36 pmI will say that I looked at the Honda Civic and the Toyota Corolla. The Sentra was levels above on both. The Sentra with the CVT made the deal even better. Overall the Sentra had a great feel and value as well as great fuel economy.
