This woman seriously makes the best damn car reviews on the internet. Typically I wouldn't give a rats ass about watching a Sentra review, basically ever. But, when Sarah does it, I suddenly care and pay attention.
Savagegease I think is the same way
@@meanman6992 much better than savage geese imo
True, whatever the compensation - it is not enough - and what are they doing to "drive" (no pun intended) viewer/customers to her channel? B/c that would help with the compensation end of the spectrum.
Totally agree
Could not agree more - I typically rather watch Sarah review a car than any other car reviewers do it. What ever the car and often cars that I would not otherwise care for. If Sarah reviews it, I'll watch. Top Notch.
You now are my Motorweek and Top Gear (when they used to do normal people's car reviews). Thank you for this.
I loved my 2013 Manual Sentra, no options, I think I paid $15K…Those were the days!
My 1989 Nissan Sentra had a bulletproof transmission. Imagine all the stupid things a 16 year old would do to a car and my Sentra handled it. I just did the routine oil changes and some minor maintenance and it just kept running. I will admit the engine starting knocking at the 175,000 mile mark, but I blame myself for driving the car so hard.
@@NobleOmnicide b12's were tough cars, and dog easy to work on. currently on my 4th b12. had my last one in the late 2000's, needed one in my life again
You gotta adjust for inflation. That means you paid a bit over $20k in today's dollars.
@@EvilSardine084 Ok, and? What’s that have to do with enjoying my car?
$30k for a Sentra is insane tho 😂
As you mentioned, we get this with a Manual up in Canada. With the manual and proper performance summer tires, this car is a hilarious little commuter to drive.
Must be the only one left! Mx5 and type R are the only two I could find with a manual in canada
Is it possible to buy it in Canada and bring it to the US?
Whenever I see Sarah do her bolster assessment, I can't help but burst out laughing. It's a great bit, I hope she keeps it in the rotation.
Sarah does the best car reviews on RUclips hands down!!🇺🇸💪🇺🇸💯
She outdid herself today, she matched the car AND the grill! Best views on RUclips!
Just the greatest review from the hardest working content creator on RUclips 🙂much respect ✊
It's a perfectly sensible mode of transportation 👍
No, it isn't. You don't buy a car that is known to turn into scrap in 80k miles.
I was done at JATCO…gonna finish watching anyway…
I'd only consider a Nissan with a manual. I'm with you brother.
Yeah they supposedly got better since 2019 but I’ve got a 2022 Altima that’s cvt is currently going out, I wish I would’ve gotten an Accord
@@danielhamby9448the accord has a cvt too
Your outfit always matches with the car you're reviewing.
Biggest attention to detail.
Once again Sarah’s clothes match the color of the car. That can’t be a coincidence! 😂❤
Meticulous attention to detail, of course.
If you were her partner, l don't think you could leave the house with her, dressed the way you wanted ! 😅
Damn, never paid attention to that!
For commuting, school, just everyday life, no human *needs* more car than this. It is the best kept secret in the auto industry, imho.
Except it breaks in 50k
well I actually want better.
manual transmission or a conventional automatic, port injection only and if the trade off is a torsion beam rear end, I'll take that sacrifice.
@@yaboirico5221 port injection only is worse
"That's a big ass trunk for a little ass car!" Lmao. Your the bestest human that reviews cars for other humans that watch car reviews on the internet. ❤ Sarah n' tuned
Bless Canada for "sticking" with the turbo 6 speed.
Yes, was at Nissan yesterday getting " rubber stoppers" for my 240. Saw one there and wanted to take out for a spin but they said to come back in couple of days because it wasn't preped yet.
@@stevemartin9688 Classic 240!
I continue not to understand why, when a manufacturer offers a manual in other markets, they deny it to US buyers. But I do recognize that says more about US drivers than the car manufacturer. Sad, because small power small cars are 1000 times better with a manual in every way that matters.
To meet emission control specs in the USA.... I've been told it's so they can let the robots control the specific shift points, engine revs, fuel mixture, etc. to keep the emission levels within the specs they need to meet the USA standards. Don't know if it's true, but it sounds plausible enough.
I just got a 2024 Tacoma with a 6 speed.
Love it. No more boring driving.
I'm sixteen again.
Most Americans (USA) can't drive a stick shift and don't want to! Can't get much further from needing to double declutch than driving an EV on "robot" autopilot.
Because they don't sell.
@@3henry214 I doubt that's true, because many of the other markets where a MT version is available have equally, if not more restrictive emissions standards, especially in Europe.
I'm really glad I found Sarah's channel a couple of years ago!
I had a 2007 Nissan Maxima and I changed the CVT oil twice (50,000 and 100,000 miles) when I sold it I had 160,000 miles and it was still running like a champ. The only issue we had with it was the alternator due to an oil leak from the valve cover. Easy fix.
i had a 13 rouge, only problem i didnt have was the transmission. was so glad to be rid of it at 137k
Im doing the same with my Jeep Patriot’s jatco CVT. Before doing a fluid/filter change I tracked the fluid temp in summer heat for a week or so, after service the temp dropped by about 20F on average.
The filter on the trans fluid cooler was so gummed up the pleats were folding over. I assume most of fluid was pushed through the bypass instead of the cooler. This was at 50k, the mfr recommended service interval is 120k…
Nissan Sentras have had that problem with valve cover leaks killing the alternator since the mid 90s.
@@TheDGeneration My 2024 Versa will get serviced at 20,000 miles.
This woman knows her stuff!
Compared to my 1991 SE-R that I bought brand new for $12,900 30 years later you get a LOT for your money, however I agree that my 91 with 140HP and a 5 Speed was much more fun and sporty....
Also more reliable
@@luisvilla799 I owned mine for 15 years without any major issues
Surprising that it handles better than the Mazda3. Not that Nissan couldn’t, just that they bothered.
The Mazda3 AWD has a short window before it reaches snap oversteer, the torsion beam rear end isn’t well suited to it.
Love the Starfleet cosplay
I was digging the ST:TNG throwback vibe as well.
Thank you for all your hard work🙂
WOW Sarah really puts her heart and soul into these reviews, keep it up Sarah your amazing and very funny too! THANKS !!
Love watching Sarah! A woman that knows cars is a rarity on RUclips. Keep up the great work!
THIS IS A GREAT CAR FOR A FAMILY HAULER AND DAILY DRIVER.
I hope that you have helped those who are about to make a purchasing decision of the Nissan Sentra SR. You gave it the scrutinized canniness. That word IMO describes your manner overall.
Being completely honest, I have one of the first Nissan Versa Notes with CVT transmission. I don't take care of it nearly as much as I should. It's more of my wife's car, but we are about to hit 100k miles without any CVT issues. This car has driven from the Gulf to the east coast to the west coast and is still a daily driver. I don't know if it is user error that causes so many Nissan CVTs to die or if it's just a factory lottery. Either way, I really wish we got more manual transmissions in these cars. I believe the Versa is the only one in the states with a manual as an option, but only on the base model ='(
One of my favorite cars I ever had was my '87 Nissan Pulsar. Pearl beige, 5 speed manual, t-tops and independent rear suspension. You could power brake that car into a parallel spot on the other side of the street with just a little rain.
Haha nice ! I still have my 1985 pulsar nx with Jatco 3 speed slushomatic 😂.
Sarah. I can't say SPORT anymore! Without saying SSSPORT! 😁😁😁
Schport
@@2605155 Much like Rowan Atkinson says BOB. 🤣
I was just considering this car and boom a Sarah review video.
Maybe the only person to recognize my old 200 sx se-r. I've never even heard anyone mention it. It had the sr20de and a sweet 5 speed. I destroyed mine. I bought a g20 to replace it but that was a completely different car although it had the same engine.
You're always the absolute best Sarah!
I had a 5 speed SER with the 2.0 engine, one of the best cars I ever bought.
Don't do it
Same here, drove it like a madman.
Paid 13k for mine and it was my first brand new car.
Or.. you could buy this immaculate 23k mile all original 1996 200SX www.ebay.com/itm/375512234653?hash=item576e45fa9d%3Ag%3ALOcAAOSwJmhmWSUr&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid=5337650957&customid=&toolid=10049
One thing I always note for people crying about "manuals are dying" no they aren't. Around the world they are still being sold as the affordable option. Outside of the US auto is considered more of a luxury. The reason why we dont have affordable cars is because companies decided we get enough financing so why bring the affordable option to the US?
@@MR3DDev Emissions certification is expensive and Americans buy cars off lots.
@@AtomicBuffalo I dont get what Americans buying cars off lots have to do with my argument, you are right on the first part tho
@@MR3DDev Most Americans don't order cars. Dealers don't want to stock cars that are less popular (or less profitable).
There's more to it, and I saw a good video on the topic recently; I'll try to find it.
American drivers don't buy cars. They buy loans for the privilege of driving a vehicle owned by a stealership. The stealerships set the demand to the manufacturer.
This has eff-all to do with emissions standards. That's a right-wing / libertarian (i.e. incorrect) talking point. Other countries are waaaaaaaaaaaay ahead of the US in that regard and still you can buy manuals. We got receipts, stop sharing bs
@@MR3DDev Because people that need affordable cars buy off lots the same day they go shopping... Why? because the old car just died and they need a car for tomorrow and his point is sure, you can order a base car and wait for 6 weeks or pay another 75 a month for options that cost the car company very little and get a car right now... The USA is seen as a cash cow with nothing but rich people and companies like Apple, Nike and Nissan sell us cheap junk made in China for double what they charge people in Russia. Since the take over by Renault Nissan has fallen three notches per year every year.
I love catching a new Sarah, I wait for you every few days!!!! Those cars last forever, I just love a manual transmission.
Did I spy a teeny, tiny scorpion checking out the wheel arch during the intro? 😉 Very fair review and I agree it is an attractive design inside and out. That mileage is crazy good for a non-hybrid. Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍
Sarah, you and savagegeese are making car reviews great again
I bought a 96 200SX SE-R new, and it's still my favorite car I've ever owned. Thing was a blast!
Hope you enjoyed your car review break from the Celica. You are a hard working woman who puts out amazing car reviews. Even if I’m not interested someone is.
Oh I owned a 1996 Nissan 200 SX SE-R 5 speed stick in white. Those were the days. I miss it.
Yr reviews are much better than Savage Geese.
I was attacked by a goose kayaking once.
@@SarahnTuned did it tell painfully bad jokes nonstop?
i work in car rental, and I drive this generation of Sentra around a lot. as an owner of a B15 Spec V, the B18 picked right back up where the B16 and B17 fumbled and took the platform in the direction it should have gone when the B15 needed to be replaced. it's an amazing car, new life for the Sentra platform, and the base model cars we have in our rental fleet can easily outdo what my modded B15 is already capable of.
all of Sarah's thoughts on this car are a mirror of my own thoughts on the B18, from the well deserved praise to the little negatives she brought up. the B18 just needs its chance to truly become what it can really be and reach its fullest potential, and it can shine like its SE-R predecessors once did. my hope in Nissan is not very deep, however, but I myself would very much like to see Nissan bring some inexpensive fun back to their lineup. theSR is setting the right foundation for it, now they just need to build something amazing with it.
Always enjoy Sarah's reviews
As so many other viewers are pointing out; yours are truly the best car reviews on the youtube and you have the ability to make any car interesting to watch the review of it. - Fun Fact: my very first car, a 1985 Saab 90, was almost exactly that shade of greyish blue. It had the weird tendency of looking super dull in good weather and very nice on dark days with stormclouds and rain... anyway, thank you for what you do and Stay Awesome!
Sarah easily putting most car reviewers to shame. So much detailed information its crazy lol
Always enjoy your car test/review.
Great work Sarah, as always. My favourite RUclips car reviews, your knowledge, details, and of course, winning personality (I get your fashion choice for the car too), always shine! 👍🙏
Another great car review. Your channel is the best car channel out there!
Base Versa starts at $16k and has three pedals. I never thought I'd want a Versa, but I kind of want a Versa.
Oh I didn't know that? 3 pedals I'm going to find one thx.
You can buy three used SCIONs for that price- 1.8 liter T/chain motor, please!
2011/12 are great years for the xD.
Better yet, double that and get a BRZ/GR86 and you will have the mostfun/dollar hands down.
@@funguy2playwith Don't the new ones have issues with stray chunks of sealant( silicone) clogging oil passages?
@@williamevans6522They do have excess RTV issues, which isn't ideal, but it will pass through the large pickup tube, and the strainer will catch any strings and large chunks. I plan on having the oil pan dropped during maintenance to get it cleaned out. I don't think it's RTV clogging oil passages.
I think the main issue is the pump potentially getting starved during repeated or persisted hard right turns, probably exacerbated by the large pickup tube and 0w20 oil. The aftermarket is still trying to sort it out with baffle plates or different oil pans.
If we're going to track it, I'd look into these options more and probably use a heavier oil on track day. For driving around town, I'm not too worried about it.
A new Sarah video and a cup of Joe in the morning makes my day 😘
Lord ain’t that the truth!
Happy Humpday Sarah!!!
Stay excellent!!!😎
Nice job Sarah!
A great video once again, thank You!
My fav car channel!!! I hope you enjoy the holiday and take a day the relax.
I think it's great that you called out the braking intervention, not enough reviews look at this kind of "living with this vehicle" detail. I'm very glad I can disable the one assist my car has.
Nice been wanting one of these
Happy 4th of July Sarah, it's nice, I would buy it
Great video....Thanks Sarah!🌻🐧
Sarah does the best car reviews)
Hello lovely Sarah. You made my day!
I enjoyed this review and also you in grey blue 🐸
Great Job!!! Thank You... :-)
Love your reviews of cars based on what they are designed for. For the nerds who want to see how they're built is something no other reviewer does that I know.
Sarah is the President of the KennyG fan club! 😂😂
All and All your reviews are pretty good. And fun to.
My dad died today. Late watching video. nice review.
My heart goes out to you , be strong during this time
Another great review.
It’s both affordable and adorable…adorffable.
Great review! This car looks seriously adequate!
Excellent and Outstanding!!!!
1984 Nissan Sentra Std, bought in Giessen Germany. 1.6 Liter 4 cylinder about 69 HP & Torque, 5 speed manual. Speedometer would read about 105MPH on the Autobahn. No Radio or Air Conditioning.
Another fine one. You could make a rocket-powered skateboard sound like a perfect commuter vehicle, with your class and honesty!!🤩
Your complete commitment is really impressive, right down to speccing the car to match your wardrobe.
Another great review Sarah! You covered everything and then some about this car to the point I almost feel like I test drove it. Also extra credit for using the word samsquanch (TPB)😎. And I know what ya mean, I'm also tall. Was that a scorpion on the fender in the intro? I really miss the older cars that were manual transmissioned (is that a word). In the same era of your (spectacular) Celica, the Datsun B210s and Toyota Corollas were simple, not overpriced and fun to drive. Pretty sure that balance can still be found. Don't like robot assistance or CVTs, that stuff is selling more sizzle than steak to me. Always been mostly a Honda fanboy but c'mon Nissan, we're rooting for ya.
always enjoy watching you Sarah....
You look really nice today!!!🩵
Totally enjoy your channel!!!👍🏾
Love from Down Under!!!🖤💛❤️
At $29k, I would get a Civic SI instead
Great job 👍
Awesome video
Hey, My name is Kenny G. I busted out laughing 4:16 when you made the tire comment. Another Great review 😊 nonetheless.
I bought a B13 Sentra brand-new back in '91. It was a fun little car. That 16V I4 engine had some pep, for its day.
Kenny G tires I don't know how you kept it together from laughing, I sure didn't lmao.
Excellent video 📹
Lovely Sarah 😍
A sports saloon car 🚗 for the family person.
Nice reviews
I like how this car looks
Neat graphics when you gave the engine specs.
I looked at this car and for the price you can get it for, it's not bad. If they made a manual transmission version I would have seriously considered it.
drove an 02 Spec V for 13 years- tons of sensor issues but i really liked it.
Great video
Uh-oh, JATCO!
Whats the problem with jatco im genuinenly clueless
@@jerrenb... They go from continuously variable transmissions into continuously non-functional transmissions pretty much right around 100K.
@@PeterBellefleursure they "all do"
. Even thought I know 3 people that had gone over 300k miles on a jatco trans.
That was what I heard to was "biggest pos transmission out there "
@PeterBellefleur that's alotta credit there fam ... 😅 I would not even give it that b4 it starts to slip and spin the belt 😅
I had a 2019 SR Turbo 6 speed manual for a little over a year and loved it. Great to drive, not too fast but not slow either, easy clutch, just made for cheap and dumb fun. Go Nissan! Please get back to your glory days
A Sentra with mismatch body panels, bumper covers ripped and hanging off, headlights replaced and duct taped in... This is my old car!
Charming outfit. Thank you for your review of this car. We need to know what non-SUV choices are out there.
Yes some of us want cars!!!! I bought a Versa and really like it. I might have purchased a Sentra which I felt was a gorgeous car if not for The Sentra having a Direct Injection Engine. The Versa does not.
Hehe, Samsquanch. I love Trailer Park Boys.
Thanks for sharing. Some important points. This vehicle also has low tires in an urban environment with bumpers and deceleration strips. Parking on a half-pavement you will hear the metal sound of the wheel plowing the road. Under the hood looks messy and access is less convenient changing belts, etc.
Please do a review of 2025 Nissan Sentra SR
My second car was a 99 Infiniti I30T with the 3 L VQ, I loved that car. In fact I sold it to my aunt and she still driving it after I ordered the Subaru thing I didn’t like about the car the axle, beam rear suspension, and the four-speed automatic (you could order a manual but hardly anybody did)
Nice video...drove a Sentra in Germany in the 1990s while stationed there. Nissan is weird and outdated. As for sedans, I wish Mazda would be bring back the Mazda 6...esp the ones with the V6. Even with their new SkyActiv turbo4 under the hood it would be sexyFun with 256 hp
My wife has a 2012 Sentra that she keeps in top shape. I cannot believe how much stuff you can get in the trunk of that car. Nice to know Nissan still makes a big trunk on the Sentra.
Hi Sarah 👋🏽
I had a B13 manual and then buyed a B15 2005 SeR Spec V. I miss those fun to drive car
