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.

Very Happy With My SE-R - 2008 Nissan Sentra
By SE-R Lover - December 22 - 2:10 amI 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 pmFor 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 amWe 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 amTest 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 amI 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.

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

If youre thinking of buying one, do it - 2008 Nissan Sentra
By Danny - June 23 - 7:06 pmI went to the dealership not expecting to like the Sentra. Coming from a Buick Century, I thought, "oh, a small, Japanese 4-cyl, well, at least it has a warranty." Then I took it for a test drive. The engine / transmission combination on even the 2.0 S model blows my old car away, and blows away my friends Civics, Yarises, and even older V6-equipped cars. The interior leaves very little to be desired. Fuel economy is ridiculous compared to what Im used to (avg. 30, city and highway), and I bought it without even trying the amazing stock stereo system. This drives like a much more expensive car, and swaddles you with geek-chic tech to make sure you dont forget it.

A Comfortable Exciting Ride - 2008 Nissan Sentra
By Jeter786 - June 20 - 2:30 pmIn mid October I purchased my Sentra for an amazing price, new from the dealership. I had test drove the new Civic and Accord but unless leased they were out of my price range. I drove the Sentra and instantly fell in love. The advertised gas mileage was just what I was looking for. Almost 5000 miles later this is the best vehicle I have bought yet. It has acceleration even with the CVT and a quality interior as well as a sound system to match. The bluetooth phone is outstanding and the car is quiet. Recently I drove it through the mountains on the way to North Carolina and it was a joyful drive. This car really outperforms all that I test drove and its one you cant beat.

Much better than expected - 2008 Nissan Sentra
By Ron S - April 21 - 9:40 amNice ride, good fuel economy, interior very comfortable, lots of trunk space and love the hidden trunk space. Blue Tooth is worth the extra cost and stereo system is very nice.

Wow so far - 2008 Nissan Sentra
By LikeItAlot - January 31 - 11:46 pmI have only put 500 miles on my new Sentra, but so far I love it! Fun to drive, especially after driving an SUV for the past several years. The Sentra is amazingly quiet, and smooth. Im not sure why some are having lower gas MPG. I am getting between 34 and 35 MPG as an average. I commute 20 miles each way to work, about 2/3 highway and 1/3 city. No problems on the gas mileage for me!
