2017 Nissan Sentra - Review and Road Test

[@nnnnny]

I had a 2002 Sentra and lasted over 15 years without any problem except oil change. For the price, this is a good car.

[@bommareddybrijendrareddy9301]

I don't know about others but it looks very elegant and simplistically beautiful to me.

[@sankemen27]

I got the chance to keep a 2016 loaner sentra for a couple of days while my older sentra (with CVT) was at the dealership for repair. In all honesty, the CVT in the new generation sentra is a lot quiter and more responsive than ever. Coupled with a very smooth ride, this sentra drove with the likes of the honda accord. Understeer has been greatly reduced. Overall, I really liked this sentra and it was a joy to drive. It may not win you drag races, but it performs very well in all you'd expect it to do. Go have a test drive and see for yourself.

[@michaelangel1558]

purchase my Sentra 2017 two months ago my thoughts so far it's a beautiful car love the inside truck has huge space not a very fast car but it's something SAVES me money for gas literally 25 dollars I'm good for a month it's my first car and I love it

[@Tom-wl7sm]

I just got Nissan Sentra Sr midnight edition white. I love it

[@jirenthegray5347]

If you bought one with a manual transmission then you have a bullet proof car. However if you got one with the CVT then you'll be good until the 75K miles then you'll need the transmission replaced.

[@rcasey1970]

@@jirenthegray5347 could be why they put a lifetime warranty on them. Or at least that's what mine has on it. I have a 2015 Sentra SR. Nice looking little car nothing that special but damn it gets good gas mileage the gas I'm saving is paying almost my car payment

[@nicholascampos1615]

Just got the car a month ago. I was wondering how your 2017 sentra has been doing for you

[@christhecarguyking6903]

Not really a small-car guy, but I think Nissan has done wonders with the Sentra design. It looks a lot better than the old bubble design from 2004 or so.

[@jessepin7335]

How is it a small car bro its considered a midsize car by the EPA.

[@scillaburton7160]

I just bought the 2017 Sentra from Carvana and I'm very excited! I like small cars, and this will most certainly be a huge upgrade from my current vehicle, a beat up 2001 dodge neon that my parents gave me in high school.

[@Hell_6090]

I know this comment is old but I've been thinking about buying from them as well, how'd it go and was the sentra worth it at this point?

[@1989pulsar]

My wife's 2017 Sentra gets around 37 mpg every tank. Helps that she gets to do country 2 lane hwy driving. No stop lights either. Love the car so far. Have had it for one year. Will hit 15k miles in a week.

[@cloudywood4197]

How is it now?

[@cb7pwn]

god dammit ... i got one of these as a rental and i gotta say... as a TRUE car enthusiast ...i kind of love it... its like a mini luxury car. its got good steering feel, a comfy ride, decent grip around corners, lots of tech... it looks a little dorky, but its a nice place to be in for the ride to and from work

[@lovedogs1999]

Back in high school, I hung out with the students who offered the most interior space for your money.

[@cathleanjohnson675]

Just traded my 2007 Sentra SL in with 128,000 miles for a 2017 Sentra SV and so far I am loving it, love all the bells and whistles and it even came with a sun roof and tinted windows, one thing it doesn't have is the navigation system but I can deal with that, hopefully this car will match the longevity of my 2007 that I traded in...

[@robertpsarudakis3474]

There not bad, I have a '13 going on 100k and I do ALL the fluid and maintenance myself, she has not let me down yet! 110 miles round trip to work. This car shines when gas prices gooooo upppp!

[@Yellow-Rose]

This guy is so fair. Really into constructive criticism. Never puts anything completely down. Always finds something nice to say.

[@jmorgan3882]

It’s Kelley Blue Book 😂 It’s not supposed to be a downright negative review!

[@ricardoescobar655]

I just got mine 2 weeks ago its only 2 years old 2018 model S 46,000 miles for $8600 I gave 4000 down my payments are 125 a month.. im happy AF. the car is smoth on the road.. I dont know why I see Alot of negativety !its an economy car!! Thats all.. They last for a long as time.. GO NISSAN

[@raiderfly]

I think I way overpaid for my Sentra. I got a 2016 Sentra SV with 130,000 miles for 7600.

[@TodayWithDustin]

Yesss no tech. I love it. Looks great has good room and doesn't complain when you step on it. Awesome job Nissan. The cvt in this car is great, I hardly hear it when I drive my family members.

[@TodayWithDustin]

***** It has been great. No problems and it runs wonderful.

[@TodayWithDustin]

Well my family member has a S which is a base model. For a base model it is a well packed car with standard features. Base models are the only ones with a key so if you want a key you're limited to that but some people like push start so SV and up gets push start. All models come with power amenities. It's a really great car. I wish you luck in choosing your car! Yes Nissan has gotten really upscale with luxury, problem for me is I like basic cars lol so I stick with base models.

[@aaronphillips5197]

Dustin Hart You can never go wrong with a Nissan!

[@xoxoloveless]

Dustin Hart I was thinking of purchasing a sentra for the longest! I live in a mountainous area and I'm concern about the small engine having difficulties driving up hills. I would like it to last a couple years so I'm hoping it'll be a good choice either way...

[@TodayWithDustin]

Cee W We have taken ours through the Pennsylvania hills and it did great due to the CVT adjusting its self. I mean if you're going up a steep grade you will want some extra time for passing power anyways but that's always expected. Either way it's great. One thing I can't comment on is how it is in the snow. We haven't driven it in the snow. I have never driven my Versa in the snow either so idk how that would be.

[@connerc9273]

I got this same one used for 15k. At 17, this is an amazing car and perfect for me

[@nicholascampos1615]

Got the same car a month ago. How has it been?

[@niciaanansi]

@@nicholascampos1615 how has it been for you?

[@nicholascampos1615]

@@niciaanansi it's been great. The only issue I had was having to change the CV axle which probably happened from going over a lot of speed bumps. Other than that it's been great. I'm at 70k and this car has given me no problems. Drives like a dream

[@jerrywhitfield6415]

Rented one for a week. Overall, not a bad vehicle and nothing like the Frieghtliner I drive. However, it's low clearance makes it more suitable for city dwellers and townees instead of us who live and work rural. Would never take it off the asphalt, nor consider it for towing anything. But, for the week, it did the job it needed to do very well which was for general transportation.

[@Alee4nia]

I was just browsing through to checkout the Nissan Sentra and look who I found!? Zach!! Great info ~CSUSM college buddy (Aleena Sheikh)

[@jamesdodge7268]

I just bought one two days ago and I had to make two trips back to the dealer on brake issues but I still hope for the best.

[@jaobweaver2706]

The only thing I disagree with this video is gas mileage. I get 42 miles to the gallon on my way to work and 34 during my commutes in the city. I use sport mode all the time and love it.

[@angelite143]

Aw yiss. Another KBB video about economy cars

[@justinfox892]

When this car was redesigned in 2013 it was the shit. Then Nissan got comfortable and the competition caught up quickly and left them in the dust.

[@guitardude3605]

Honestly, I really do admire the simplistic looks with it. Really pleasing. If they just opted for a traditional 6 speed auto or a reliable dtc, I would definitely consider it. I just can’t bring myself to ever remotely consider purchasing one with the awful ratings of their unreliable CVT transmission.

[@kevinclavijo6954]

My old 2013 Sentra got 34 mpg. Loved that car but wasn’t great for long trips. Seats felt like I was sitting on a bench and it wasn’t fast. Great first car tho!

[@madisongabriellaa8206]

I like the Sentra... 🤷🏾‍♀️ Ik some people may disagree but I’m going into highschool in a year or two all I need is something that drives smooth is cheap so I can pay my car notes and has an aux cord once I finish college I my at an upgrade but for now when It’s time for me to drive I’ll take a Sentra 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@kbb]

Let us know if we can help when you start looking!

[@aarone1000]

Looks like a good car for someone who just needs a car. The only thing that I personally don’t like is the steering wheel.

[@djkenny1202]

You buy Corolla is road manners are not a priority, but reliability and safety are at a good price. You buy Mazda 3 if you still want most of the reliability, but want a car that is really sporty and will pay a little more for that. You buy a Sentra if you want a car bigger than those two inside, and want to spend less, less MPG is not that big a deal to you, and do not care a lot of style or reliability. The last great Sentra was the SE-R in 1994.

[@conceptcs]

Just got a rental 2017 Nissan Sentra, horrible CVT.... engine speed jumps around and "downshifts" "upsihfts" unpredictably, causing a jerking effect when driving. My daily driver is a current generation Corolla, so much smoother.

[@tomfaz4193]

I personally would not buy this car, on the lower models it uses decades old drum brakes, the paint on the prior model started to flake off after 3 years despite waxing three times a year. The air conditioner went after 4 years and the stock tires were so bad it made the car unstable at higher speeds. Do yourself and buy a Toyota Corolla as it is one of the most reliable cars in its class according to Kelly blue book.

[@SubieSean]

That turbo option should be a pretty neat car.

[@5.7_TY]

Rented one of these. Makes my 2.0 Ford Focus feel like a rocket ship in terms of acceleration. I’d get the SR turbo with manual transmission if I were to purchase a sentra

[@firebird890]

I love my 2017 Nissan Sentra SR (1.8) i purchased it used in 2018 as an early lease trade in, love the looks and features

[@YAHSHASALVATION]

I love mine got her and she is awesome I have 3 children and as soon as I pay it off we up grade to a Murano I have the 2017 SL

[@icantw8]

The only cars Sentra is ahead of is the Mitsubishi Lancer and Jetta.

[@jaobweaver2706]

I got a 2017 SV an has a 148 hp V4. It is really peppy in sport mode an I can take corners like quick. The right temp mature and I can get 41 mpg on my way to work. I load my friends in it we jam out and is comfy. Got my for 11 grand full warranty.

[@DrOcKa20]

148?..lol. 124!

[@raiderfly]

The 1.8L is incredibly underpowered. Every time I get on the highway or merge onto the freeway it feels like I’m going to get into an accident from how slow the car is.

[@joshgeurink2131]

My family had to get a loner 2019 Sentra SR from Nissan because of long term work on our Pathfinder. We had the car for a month and I have to say the CVT transmission had to be hands down the worst driving car we have ever owned. The car would sit at 4k RPM on a normal drive up the mountains making it impossible to get to speed limit let alone accelerate. From a family I must say avoid CVT transmissions at all cost if you plan on doing more than driving to Walmart.

[@johndenvermaglaya5649]

Hi! Could you please send the link where to buy that Pioneer screen. Is it fit to nissan sentra 2018?

[@GlobalTV123]

That was the loaded model. Take a look at the base model. It is cheap and underpowered. There are a lot of better options.

[@shunnosukehikosaka4664]

Those S models start from around 17k. I wouldn't be expecting much from a base model of any car that's around that price.

[@DassahMariee]

Love this car!! Recently got the SR Turbo a couple months ago and have no complaints. Have a car tour on my channel aswell :)

Actually only the base manual transmission version has 130hp, the CVT cuts 6hp to drop it at 124hp. 😒.

If you have a sub 20k budget and has to get a new car, go Corolla. Toyota now offer full range active cruise control for FREE on any trim, which other brands called tech package, charged thousands and only offered at top end trim. If Nissan is not offering a huge rebate, it's not even worth visiting. Again, why buy new if it doesn't come with active cruise control? Cuz you love CVT? LOL

Around Town average speed of 28 mph over 3400(approx) miles, lots of A/C, lots of Stop and Go, lots of B.S. while the Car is Running but NOT moving, average MPG 32.2.
