  Not confident with reliability/would never buy Nissan again. - 2013 Nissan Sentra
  By mred72 - August 9 - 12:17 pm

  The GOOD: Interior/Exterior design and fit and finish. Ride quality excellent for highway which is what I mostly do. Stock SL sound system is ample. Voice activated Bluetooth is great! LED accents make the car look better. Thats about where it ends. The BAD: CVT transmissions are just terrible in general, but Nissan JATCOs are probably the worst built out there. I wonder if mine will last. Terrible wiper design. Driver side wiper too long so its trying to clean off too large an area that leaves a smeared mess on the passenger side. Driver wiper also is half hidden/half protrudes. Continued below...

  Im getting a little scared... - 2013 Nissan Sentra
  By cori1 - February 27 - 11:30 pm

  I have a 2013 Sentra SL- At 2837 miles, The car went completely dead- electric system shut down. It was in my garage so no safety issue- Had the car towed. Local dealership said it was an internal failure in the IPDM. After 4 days and replacing this, car ran fine. Nissan paid for a 3 day rental. It happened again last night- approx. 11,000 miles- dead as a doornail. Spent the morning waiting on a tow, setting up a rental car, etc. Waiting to hear from the dealer. Nissan has promised a 3 day rental but COME ON GUYS! Im a single Mom- no one to help me get to work- no work, no pay! I thought I was getting a RELIABLE car- AM I GOING TO BE ON THE NIGHTLY NEWS like the GM DRIVERS? IM SCARED!!

  Excellent Gas Mileage - 2013 Nissan Sentra
  By jdk1973 - February 24 - 11:46 am

  I bought my 2013 base Sentra S with 6sp manual in mid March. Gas mileage rocks! I get in the high 30s to low 40s in regular mode. I consistantly get 360 miles per tank of fuel using about 9 gallons. This is mixed driving with sometimes frequent stops. Seats are insanely uncomfortable but not a deal breaker given the price. Mine listed for $17,000 and I purchased for $14,000. I feel this was a great negotiated price considering that it is an all new look without lots of incentives. I selected the silver with Charcoal interior...looks great with added body side molding and really dark-tinted windows.

  Great gas mileage - 2013 Nissan Sentra
  By B. Rivera - February 7 - 11:17 am

  Its a good to and from car and great on gas. Only problem is snow traction and space. Its a good starter car but as your family grows you will need more space. And as for snow it is hard to get started but once you do it drives great.

  Bad Transmission - 2013 Nissan Sentra
  By steve122286 - July 29 - 10:48 am

  Purchased the car in February 2013. Car has had multiple transmission problems since then. Nissan customer service has been less than helpful and does not work on Sundays, making it impossible to find a solution to getting to work on Monday.

  Only 5,000 miles with issues!! - 2013 Nissan Sentra
  By khuzbuz - March 11 - 2:17 am

  I have experienced problems with the AC blowing hot air and the rear brakes developing a loud metallic grinding/crackling noise. The first time I took it to the dealership they kept the car overnight - the service adviser said there was a service bulletin on the brakes and the brake cylinders needed some lubing. They had no idea why the AC was not cooling periodically. I picked the car up and after a week or so the brakes had the same issue and the AC was HOT all the time! Very uncomfortable driving in 100F+ weather with the windows down! The dealership kept it for 2 nights and figured the brake cylinders had to be replaced as well as the AC compressor. Covered by warranty but whats next???

  Not Satisfied - 2013 Nissan Sentra
  By 1srac - October 4 - 6:44 am

  Bought my Nissan Sentra Dec of 2012. A week later i took it back cause the rubber seal around the front window came off. Took it to go looked at cause i can never get my music to bluetooth. took it back again cause while driving it, it felt like it was going to bog out and die. (Friend drove my car and freaked out) they couldnt re create it! took it back again for a sensor re call in the passenger seat that linked to the air bags not deploying!! Got that fixed. Then took it back, cause i was driving it home and the car lost all power and would not go past 2000 RPM.(Couldnt find anything wrong) Ran out of space for everythingOverall I dont like the car. Gonna get me something else here soon.
