  • Pleasantly Surprised - 2008 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    I must say, when I stopped at the Nissan dealer, I wasnt even considering a Sentra. But as soon as I sat in it, I knew I had to get it on the road. The test drive confirmed what I already knew when I first sat in the car. I was in love!! The cars smooth ride and shifting is seamless thanks to the CVT. Im a tall girl, 59 and it is extremely roomy even in the back seat. I ended up getting the "Convenience Package" and it was well worth it. I had every intention of buying a Civic, but you get SO much more for your money with the Sentra. I LOVE MY NEW CAR!!!!

  • Moving up from a buick - 2008 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    I didnt really know what to expect from this Sentra. I was pretty worried because i need to drive a lot (I commute to and from school 3 days/wk and go to work 7 days/wk). Knowing that I need to drive so much to and from school, friends, and work, I needed a reliable car. This is the first 4 cyl car and the gas mileage is almost the same as my 6cyl Century which is a disappointment. I have 5k miles on it and no problems. I got the base model with wheel locks because I plan to get rims for it next year. I wouldnt recommend the black, which I have. Too hard to keep clean but the car is great and so quiet! A must have.

    This car has exceeded my expectations so far. Its fun to drive and looks smart both on the inside and from the outside. Its quiet and was a great value, considering all of its standard features.

  • Pleased with Sentra - 2008 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    I just purchased a 2008 Nissan Sentra, and am very pleased with both the comfort and the performance. The 6-speed manual transmission is very easy to shift, and the ride is very smooth with the 16" wheels. I would recommend this car to a friend.

  • 2008 Nissan Sentra 2.0 s manual trans - 2008 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    Great car, I drive to and from college in it and often get over 36 miles to the gallon. The 6 speed manual is fun to drive, but a little difficult to get used to at first. The new sentra is full of extras: the bluetooth system makes answering calls while on the road a lot safer; the back seats fold down for extra storage; there is an amazing audio system with radio, cd, and mp3 compatability; as well as a trip computer and air bags everywhere.

  • Great College Car for My Son - 2008 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    For the price this car can not be beat. Especially considering the favorable financing. THe first car my son looked at and after looking at several other we came back to buy. Safety features were a big selling point to his mother.

  • Great, Love It - 2008 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    I loved this car since the day I test drove it. It is awesome for the price. When making such a large investment, thorough inspection is necessary. I love this cars performance, build quality and interior, the gas mileage is great and have not had any problems thus far. This car is not a Lexus, and it does not have the big price tag, but it is still awesome in my opinion! Great value for the money.

  • Good so Far - 2008 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    Not too many miles driven, but theyve been good miles thus far. 6 speed took a while to get used to, but thats because I transferred from a Jeep. It has plenty of power for an economy car, loads of features, and looks very sharp (I got the black). Im 62 and I still have a few inches from the ceiling. Everything is placed well, besides maybe the center console (nowhere to rest my elbow while shifting). Trunk is HUGE, engine compartment open and easy to access (this will be great 5 to 10 years from now). The base radio leaves a little to be desired, bluetooth a little clumsy (not synched well for my phone brand). Quiet, comfortable, does 80 just fine, cruises at low speeds well.

  • Best Gas Mileage I Have Ever Seen - 2008 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    The car rides better than my Lincoln. The sticker said 25 city/ 33 hwy but I have been watching it and I am getting 38 Hwy and 29 city. This car has it all, style, mpg, ride. Need to look at this. I looked at Honda Fit, Civic, Accord and Toyota Corolla and Camry and Focus and Fusion. Spent 3 weeks shopping. The Sentra is about 3000.00 cheaper but delivers more. Check it out. I am trading my truck in and getting another.

  • Great Car For A Great Price - 2008 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    Right off the bat I noticed that The motor is very quiet and has great acceleration. The power you get with 33 MPG you cant really go wrong. The steering and handling has great response. All the controllers, knobs, switches, and whistles are very easy to use, they are easy to get to, and are easy to remember where they are located. Everything is great about this vehicle, even down to how solid the doors close.
