Overview & Reviews
The 2009 Nissan Sentra has a number of updates that include a revised trunk lid, new cloth seat trim, standard automatic door locks, MP3 playback capability and a new premium package for the 2.0 SL model. Later in the model year, the "FE+" moniker is affixed to all Sentras except the manual-transmission 2.0 S and both SE-R trims. Ostensibly meaning "Fuel Economy Plus," the new name signifies a 1-mpg increase in fuel economy for those Sentras via a tweak to the engine computer. An "SR" trim level also makes a late debut -- it's essentially an FE+ 2.0 S with an SE-R-inspired body kit and 16-inch alloy wheels all thrown in at no extra cost.
- Roomy seating for all occupants, simple control placement, quiet ride on the highway, added performance with the SE-R Spec V variant.

Continental Sport Contact 2 Tires Awful - 2009 Nissan Sentra
By KnightLog - December 31 - 11:56 pmHappy with the car. The sunroof whistles. The Lighter is in an odd location. The Original Equipment Tires that come with the car are Continental Sport Contact 2. They are terrible in the rain and when you hit highway patches you start to loose control. If you purchase a Sentra make sure you have the dealer pull these tires off first. :)

Great Car! - 2009 Nissan Sentra
By K.S. - July 4 - 11:43 amI had the car for about a month and found it easy and fun to drive. Its just about the right size for both a daily commute and for longer highway trips. Drivers seat provides good support and the driving position provides for a commanding view of the highway. Please disregard any negative comments you may have read about the interior - it is a classic industrial design. Just look up industrial design or Raymond Loewy for more info on this design style. Mostly city around town driving averages about 29- 30 MPG

Surprising Performance - 2009 Nissan Sentra
By Mike39 - December 29 - 6:36 amIve driven this car for only about 2000 miles. My initial impressions are that I am VERY satisfied. The interior is large for its class (97.7cuft)and very much appreciated by my growing boys. The car I have has the CVT transmission. It runs very smooth and quiet under low torque applications- a little loud during acceleration. the ride is very quiet. The car has great amenities- good sound system, blue tooth, mp3 cd player w/ aux jack, keyless entry, car computer (mpg, dte, temp, etc). The blue tooth and keyless entry are a little extra, but this was the only car I found with a standard computer. Aluminum rims would of been a nice touch- worth the extra$ if you can find one with it.

Great car / Great value - 2009 Nissan Sentra
By jeff - December 18 - 11:46 amCash for clunkers deal I was due a better vehicle. First new car I have ever bought. I looked at everything small to mid sized out there and I mean everything. I was looking for better mileage. Averaging 30 currently. Most cars were uncomfortable, over priced, cheap quality or no room. I am 62" tall and my head hit the roof in half and my legs would have to be held up off of the seat to keep from smashing the gas pedal to the floor in the rest. Not in the Senta. Plenty of leg room, a whole hands with above my head. For you taller people, this one is it. It is very deceiving from the outside. Roomy, comfortable, solid car. Cant say enough good about it.

Love My Sentra - 2009 Nissan Sentra
By Denise - May 17 - 9:13 pmI test drove Nissan Sentra and just fell in love with it. It handled the curves well and had great pick up and go. I really liked how comfortable the seats were and how smooth the ride was. Having an auxiliary input jack for my MP3, Trip computer with outside temp, distance to empty, and steering wheel mounted audio controls was just extra icing on the cake.

Best little car Ive ever owned - 2009 Nissan Sentra
By Mac88 - January 21 - 2:16 amBought this car with the idea to save money in the future to counter possible rising gas prices, and I was surprised at the design and overall quality. The CVT tranny is a little weird at first, but its a great performer. Some may say its boring, but if you just want to drive and not worry about shifting or rpms then this is the one. Torque right off the bat is good, you can feel it in the seats, once car is at the speed you want, rpm goes down low, and its quiet, surprisingly quiet on the freeway for a small car. Small on the outside, roomy on the inside. Big trunk, good styling, and fairly wide. Its comfortable enough for my commute, AC kicks butt, a real quality motor, quiet at idle.

Great little car! - 2009 Nissan Sentra
By lily - August 7 - 4:23 amI love my Sentra! We looked at all of the competitors (Corolla, Elantra, Focus) and I found the Sentra to be the nicest and most comfortable. I love that it has the features of more expensive cars (leather, bluetooth, xm, etc), but it was less than $20000. Its fun to drive and great for in town and long trips. And the gas mileage is good too.

great car - 2009 Nissan Sentra
By jr - June 26 - 2:23 amI love this car! I had a sunroof put in and it works and looks awesome. This is fun to drive. I love how it tells me how many miles I can go before empty. I test drove a toyota corolla before I drove this, it doesnt compare to the Nissan Sentra. Very smooth ride for a small car. Inside is just ride not too close to the passenger and roomy. I like how it auto locks when you go past 15 mph. Very easy to park and back up.

Go for it - 2009 Nissan Sentra
By chacama - July 24 - 3:40 pmThese current Sentra models are mid The new Sentras rock!. CVT is real smooth and have not had any problems with what some call "rubberband effect" (have not experienced it on this car yet!). Before deciding for this car i drove the Mazdas 3 & 5, Toyota Yaris & Camry, a VW and the Nissan Versa but ultimately decided for this car because its good mileage, driveability and specially comfort... the lines looks somewhat similar to a Lexus.

Excellent Sentra - 2009 Nissan Sentra
By Joe R - June 21 - 8:13 pmHad a lot of cars over the years but this has to be one of the best. For a small car, it rides great!
