Nissan Sentra

The Sentra has been a mainstay of the Nissan lineup since its 1980s debut. The compact sedan has evolved significantly over the years, with each generation bringing improvements in comfort, efficiency, and technology. Owners have long given the Sentra high marks for its impressive gas mileage, and later models have stepped up their game with increasingly upscale interiors and more tech and safety features, such as automatic emergency braking. However, while the Sentra has been lauded for these qualities, it doesn't necessarily shine in the performance department. Its engine, while efficient, isn't the most potent in its class, and its ride, although comfortable, isn't as engaging or sporty as some competitors. Additionally, earlier models tend to show their age with less refined materials inside and a lack of tech features. But all things considered, the Nissan Sentra has a well-rounded charm that's hard to deny, especially considering its affordable price tag.

2014 Nissan Sentra S (1.8L)

5.0

I have RH. Because it is so difficult to move freely, it is extremely difficult to attach seat belt as it is so far behind me. Used to own a Nissan that had automatic seat belts. Would be excellent for me with arthritis. Also, beverage holder to too far back that I cannot use it. Otherwise, no problems.

So far, we are very satisfied with the vehicle with the exception of gas mileage. We just thought it would get better mileage. We really like the back up system, the navigation system and the night lights that come on when you open the door to the vehicle.

Remote trunk key is too sensitive. I have accidentally opened trunk from inside of buildings with keys in my pocket on several occasions. I am afraid to leave anything in trunk for fear of it being stolen. I use car for a lot of business trips so this is very inconvenient.
