This is a decent car. I purchased one a month ago. Downside: lacks initial get up (take off power), no cup holders or armrest in the rear, and no lock on the glove box. Upside: surprisingly roomy, good safety features, good window size for adequate visibillity around most of the vehicle, and very good trunk space. I give it a B-.
The redesign of the interior brought more soft touch surfaces such as leatherette to the cockpit…also plenty of room in the back for cute granddaughters related to the owner of the vehicle
@@SandeepSaggu-h1c I review cars, hence the title of the video. The CVT paired with the Nissan Sentra SR Turbo works well but here it just made the car feel sluggish.
21k for a base Sentra? Yikes! Last gen was discounted under $14500, base. I could see $16,000. Nissan is in trouble. They’ll let them go much cheaper. I’d definitely go used half this amount. With her issues, why on Earth did she Buy another one?!
The MSRP for the last year of the 7th gen Sentra was $19k usd for a base with an automatic transmission. A brand new Nissan Sentra wouldn’t be my first choice of car but they are competitively priced in today’s market. I think it’s unfair to use the first year of the last generations, MSRP, considering that car came out over 10 years ago
@@auto_joe understood, but for your entry level option, a base Sentra, over 20 grand? No way. Better to buy a better used Honda or Toyota. Or new Corolla (even though I preferred Driving the Sentra).
@@djkenny1202 I don’t disagree that there’s more value in a used Honda or Toyota that is better equipped. However a lot of people are just looking to buy a brand new car instead of used. I think going up a trim or two on any base economic sedan is worthwhile too.
@@auto_joe I’d find a private buyer, pay cash for something 7 years old. I did really well doing this with my manual 15 XB. 48k miles now. It cost me $11,000. Arguably worth more, now. Economy cars should be cheap. Especially a Nissan product. I have strong feeling there will be $5000 off MSRP very soon. They are down 99% in profit.
i would take it over the Elantra and it's Kia twin, but it's a toss up between the Corolla and the Civic. And speaking of Toyota, why did Nissan did do that exact layout. i don't like how the screen is positioned in the Corolla and Camry, im also not a fan of turning the screen to make it more driver focused. you're going to get glare at times, no matter how the screen is positioned. but i actually like the 2020 screen better, because it was down in the center like you typically see. why the industry wants to go the lazy cheap route is beyond me, but my problem with the Sentra isn't the cvt, there actually more reliable than Honda's, but it's that screen i don't like. now price wise it ain't bad for a base model, but i honestly think the SV is worth stepping up to. it's a little nicer, plus you get a few extra goodies, and a upgraded sound system. a better steering wheel, that one on the S is awful, it's the worst in the segment. other than that, it's a fine car for what it is.
Yeah i agree that the Nissan Sentra is better within the higher trims. The SV might be the sweet spot. If I had to choose a Nissan I'd go with the Altima though, the added interior space is quite nice to have.
@@auto_joe you might wanna hurry then lol, because im hearing Nissan might drop the Altima, along with the Versa, leaving just the Sentra. i hope they don't do that, but anymore it seems like the industry is trying to kill off sedans. Toyota and Honda still do, but i wonder for how much longer. that would be a horrible decision if Nissan does that, the Versa is the cheapest new car, but the Altima is their flagship sedan. just because crossovers are all the rage these days, it doesn't mean everyone is looking to get one. having options is a good thing, but when companies only care about profit, they're gonna do whatever makes them the most money. now if Nissan is thinking of cutting it because there not selling well, that ain't it. you gotta give people a reason why they should buy your car, and the main achilles heel for Nissan, is the jacto cvt that they been using since 2015. if they leave the Sentra with the cvt, take it out of the Altima and i guarantee the car will sell. because honestly it's Altima owners rather than Sentra owners, that don't want the cvt. so the only reason Nissan lags behind the competition, it's because they refuse to bend. im not completely against cvts, but Nissan's cvts have been average at best. Toyota is good at them, that's because they developed their own in house, ever since the first generation Prius. so they been making refinements to it, and the more you work at something the better it'll pay off in the end. but Nissan is too stubborn to change, if you wanna stick with cvts that's fine, but atleast make them reliable, and get rid of jacto and have someone better develop it.

My son just got a Sentra SR. He loves it.

Wakey
Really good video bro hope you catch some deserved momentum
Thank you Dalton! Much appreciated

I echo your thoughts on quite a bit of that. I agree that the CVtransmission and little four-cylinder really don’t have much to offer.
Thanks, getting mine tmrw.
How do you like it I'm trading in my truck tmrw and getting one also
What trim are you both looking into? I would advise getting one with a few comfort options because the base car doesn’t come with much.
@@auto_joe yo bro I got the SR today it's white with a black top and black rims I drove it off the lot today with 7 miles on it
Congrats! How do you like it so far?
@@auto_joe 3 days later and it drives nice and turns exceptionally well
What is your favorite feature for this car?
The redesign of the interior brought more soft touch surfaces such as leatherette to the cockpit…also plenty of room in the back for cute granddaughters related to the owner of the vehicle
The Versa drives 100x better. If Nissan put the 1.5VC turbo in the Versa it would be the best car on the market.
And would burn out at 70k, lets hope they don't turbo charge it.
not even close
@@joecap2919they killed it instead
Sick whip
What is the big deal about heated seats? Never understood.
@@alextomtom5531 people like their butts warm, especially in cold climates
I would not expect them in a base. But if this is 20k it should be standard.
Worth the money?
No buy a used v8 mustang with a stick shift instead
@@auto_joe lol
Decent horsepower what size engine is it?
Hi Smished, this car has a 149-hp 2.0-liter naturally aspirated I-4. Really gets the heart pumping!
🔥🔥
If you don't like cvts then why did you make a video of this car. They drive fine ,stop defaming cvts

@@Jeymez I’m not buying an Altima no worries haha. I just said if I had to have one
@auto_joe i just said it as a joke, but yeah if i had to have one, i would agree with you, the Altima would be it.
We love our new Sentra SV but there's a orange idiot light the dealer can't explain.
“Idiot light” 🤣🤣
