Overview & Reviews

The 2011 Nissan Sentra sees only minor updates. Fuel economy has been slightly improved while safety has been enhanced, as antilock brakes and stability control are now standard across the board. A spoiler in the style of the SE-R is available for the 2.0 (with CVT), 2.0 S and 2.0 SL.

• Respectable fuel economy and power
• Intuitive control layout.
• Spacious front seating

• Telescoping steering wheel not available
• Forgettable handling in all but the SE-R.
• Flinty ride
• Droning acceleration with CVT

  Nissan Sentra 2.0 - 2011 Nissan Sentra
  By cobalt_08 - September 3 - 8:09 pm

  With ever increasing gas prices, my old Cobalt (29 mpg highway) was getting expensive at the pump. After browsing a bit, I found a base-model 2011 Sentra w/ CVT at my Nissan dealership. Completely void of anything except the basic necessities, an affordable price with very low mileage, I bought it after a test-drive. Like all of you, I have places to go, people to see, and with a 34 mpg highway rating, I would save a bit on gas. *Sigh* The one place I wanted to avoid is now my most popular destination: The Pump. No matter what I do, this car cant get above 27mpg on the highway. Ive tried all manners of tests to improve gas mileage, to no avail.

  Liked it better than the Corolla - 2011 Nissan Sentra

  I recently drove a Sentra and a Corolla back to back, for a week each, and I prefer the Sentra. You ride up higher in the Sentra, and the cabin feels roomier. The CVT has plenty of power to get up to speed and pass on the highway and feels smooth and responsive. The cabin is quiet going around town, but fairly noisy on the highway, and opening the trunk seems awkward. Overall, though, I was impressed.
