  • 05 sentra shifts strangely - 2005 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    We bought this used in 2010 for 6,600 with 83K miles. We found the console light doesnt work nor does the crusie control. It was too late by then to take back to dealership. That was our fault for not checking better. But then we changed the oil after only 40K miles and it was dirty! We havent found any real problems aside from it shifting jerky going from 1-2 gear and moreso when cold. It is a automatic

    Very smooth riding car for a small sedan. Fuel mil. is good. Nice stereo.Would have paid more for the features in this car if i had gone with the corolla or honda.

  • Great FWD car!! - 2005 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    I have had my spec-v for almost 2 years now and I love it. Amazingly the vehicle handles great for a front wheel drive and it continues to stick to the road the more you push it. Great torque through the mid-range and braking system is awesome. 24k and still do not need to replace brakes and Im a very aggressive driver. Best bang for the buck!!!! Outperforms majority of 4 cylinders out there and even 6 cyl.cars-speaking from experience

  • great handling, fun to drive - 2005 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    Had it for 3 years and have driven it hard. Two sets of tires and one set of brakes in 83K miles. You cant ask for more. Would have liked to have gotten better MPG (avg of 24 combined), but hey its a performance car. Nissan did their homework on the handling, and the engine is very responsive.

  • I like it my car but I dont love it - 2005 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    I like my 2005 Nissan Sentra but I dont love it and will more than likely be trading it in for something with MUCH more power. The only thing I dont like about my car is how when I go to accelerate there is a brief hesitation and the car jerks before it will take off. Everything is just perfect for a single person is who usually driving solo on most days.

  • Great Toy. - 2005 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    Even tho I bought my Spec V with a lot of miles on it, it still runs real good. Its a champ on the streets. Its a sleeper car stock and a beast with mods. I love driving it and seeing the looks on peoples faces when I fly past them in their V6s. Great toy to have.

  • Great Little Car - 2005 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    Im an Insurance appraiser, covering East Texas, Waco and Houston areas, so I run a lot of miles. For my purposes, my Special Edition Sentra fits the bill very well. Im 61", it could use a tad more leg room. Fuel economy has been in the 31 to 33 mpg range. At 51,450 miles, Im still on the original rubber. I only hope this little car will see 300,000 miles.

  • My first foreign car - 2005 Nissan Sentra
    By -

    This is my first import in 20 years. Traded in my Envoy for this car, and so far I love it! Mileage is excellent, but Im still getting used to the small size. Looked at Hondas, but due to the price and the way I was treated at my local friendly dealership, I wouldnt have a Honda for anything now. I was treated extremely well at the Nissan dealership and plan to make them my first visit for my next car. I love this car!
