    The #NissanSentra has been one of the longest running compact car names here in America. Unfortunately, it has held a reputation for being a rental car special for the two generations. For 2020, @nissanusa is hoping to address that with the all-new 8th generation #SentraSR and this latest #Sentra shares virtually nothing with the previous generation. Riding on a new platform and sporting a design that looks far more desirable, this latest version should be placed high on your list if you're looking for a stylish, fun-to-drive, and value packed option. #Nissan just needs to offer a #SentraNismo once again.

      @Daniel Zhang The only reason to buy Nissan these days is the cheap lease. Other than that, they tend to be unexceptional in most areas. Pity it turned out that way. Former Altima owner, with other Nissans in the family, and I find nothing compelling enough to even justify a test drive for comparison purposes.

      @vvvVFANGSVvvv it depends on how you take care of your transmission. what a lot of owners wont say they did was change the fluid at the right time. Going 75K miles on the fluid wont let the CVT have its life expectancy.
      People dont go to dealerships anymore for maintenance because its expensive. However Jiffylube wont tell you your transmission fluid needs changing. Nissan will.
      You have to take care of your maintenance in order for it to take care of you. Part of owning a car.

      Renault doen't use CVT's in their cars, they only use DCT's. Nissan owns Jatco, that's why they use so many CVT's as it's the only transmission they make for front wheel drive models.

I’m very used to a CVT at this point and have had 0 issues with them. I am very impressed with the car so far and how good Nissan did at bringing an undated, quality product to the consumer at a very reasonable price.

    The car itself is beautiful. The driving dynamics with the CVT ruin what could have been a great car. They should offer a regular automatic transmission , or at the very least, a 6 speed manual. I took a new Sentra out just before the pandemic landed, and the drive was really disappointing with the CVT (it sucked) .
    The salesman said they tweaked the CVT so that it mimics shifting a bit. If you gave it the beans , it would slightly mimic. If you drove like a typical economy car driver would drive, it would drain all life giving enthusiasm straight out of every pore of your body... Sad.

      30k for a fully loaded more powerful SE-R Sentra is a really good deal if you honestly looked at is competition and their prices. Every compact has turning into the new mid size, they all offer mid size room, power, build quality and features and almost none of them can be bought for under 20k new anymore for even the base trim.

    After reading the comments in here regarding CVT, i didn't know the CVT was junk for most of Nissans cars. I owned a 2012 nissan sentra for around 3 years. I had the CVT fail on me twice. First after one year of use and then again after a year of use on the replacement. Both were replaced under warranty, before the warranty ran out i got rid of it. Went with Mazda as it's one of the few car companies left that don't use CVT on their cars.

    Our family's Nissan CVTs have been WONDERFULLY RELIABLE (2007 Versa, 2009 Altima, 2010 cube, 100% made-in-Japan 2013 Quest & 2014 Maxima)!!! Of course, we maintain them accordingly, changing the CVT fluid every 40-60K miles, etc. Recommended maintenance is critical to the longevity of any vehicle. Our '07 Versa SL (with Intelligent Key!) is still going strong at 252K miles. The cube 121K. Quest 96K. Maxima 85K. The Altima had 168K when we traded it in for a 2019 Alti SR. Absolutely no issues at all. I have a strong feeling all the comments parroted by CVT haters that I read everywhere online are pretty baseless. I heard there were issues with some earlier CVTs, but we haven't experienced any ourselves. I suspect owner neglect, or more likely, 'previous-owner/previous lessee neglect', may have much to do with it. Additionally, our Nissan service advisors have shared how Jiffy Lube and various shop mechanics have wrongly and fatally filled Nissan CVTs with conventional automatic transmission fluid. Wrong! Sadly, these cars need to be towed-in to the dealerships due to the ineptitude of idiot mechanics or automotive repair shops.

You don’t because it was just released and there’s already videos on RUclips of people having Kia cvt failures one guy I saw only had like 1,200 miles on his soul and the cvt failed so you can’t praise one automakers cvt when you don’t know if it’s reliable but bash another’s for having issues 5+ years ago that just doesn’t make sense

The new Sentra was just fun to drive and fun on the windy roads. The Corolla was the same way but it felt like a retro throwback to the 90's. How it sounded and how it drives. People always complain about CVTs, the CVT in Sentra felt more like an automatic than a CVT but still had its moments where it was still a CVT. Either way, it's a fun commuter and just needs a little more horsepower (155-160hp) than its perfect for the SR and praying a Nismo version comes out or a turbo next year.

    I am so sorry but I had a 2017 Nissan Sentra SR and that thing was so underpowered and that CVT was dreadful. I am much happier with my 2020 Kia Optima which has a traditional 6 speed automatic transmission

      The Optima is a beautiful sedan

      Same here, I drove a Nissan Altima for years with a CVT transmission and just nothing but complaints, The noise of high speeds and revs is just horrid, I just bought a 2017 Kia Optima with the 6 speed Auto, So much better than a CVT

      Yeah but the Frote uses a Turbo. Turbo's have lag and they're not as reliable. Look up Honda's 1.5L problems.
