2017 Nissan Sentra SR Turbo (6-spd/X-Tronic) - Road Test & In Depth Review

[@robertdavis32]

Oh my god a sporty Nissan Sentra with a 6 speed, I thought we'd never see that again, then to add icing to the cake it has a turbo, good job Nissan

[@bfitnessjoe]

Robert Davis I saw this at the dealer a few months after I bought my SR and saw the manual transmission while getting an oil change. I wanted to do a trade lol.

[@jamesshawn4746]

Yeah 1.6 engine very good

[@KitariFox]

I bought my 2017 Sentra today during the eclipse!!! I went with the SR turbo premium package. I absolutely love the dark pearl blue color, and the Bose system sounds great. I also decided to get the manual transmission, which is very easy to learn by the way. (first time manual owner) Wish me luck guys, I felt like I just needed this in my life right now. lol No regrets so far...

[@bigsimpd]

Just purchased this car today. Very nice and stylish and pretty fast. Only 34000 miles on it

[@YOLORACER]

I love my 2016 Sentra SR, which is basically the same one as this, but except it as 130 hp, and it's good enough. I got the premium package with the keyless entry Bose sound system with 2 subwoofers,sunroof, leather interior etc, and for $30 000 with taxes and 0% financing, that's Canadian pricing it's a fantastic deal. No other car manufacturer offers that much for the money, Volkswagen not reliable and more expensive, Honda apparently is not as reliable as they used to, Ford way too expensive, GM I would never buy a car from them, Toyota, my aunt and grandma have one and Kia and Hyundai are crap, I say this cause I owned a Kia and Hyundai, sold them after owning them for just a year and a half. Lost a lot of money with the Kia and Hyundai. Almost 50% depreciation after only a year. Anyway buy what you like cause it's basically your money.

[@373axle]

This is nice to see. Just two friends admiring a fun to drive car for what it is. No bragging or complaining, no egos, just a good drive time mixed in with details about the car.

[@christopherwalker6056]

Kyle, once again your reviews are SO thorough and professional. I have an '06 Nissan Sentra that I just hit 200k miles on and it still runs awesome. For a little 1.8L four banger it is very peppy. I had an '86 chevy cavalier with a 2.0L 4 for my first car when I was 16 and it was such a dog. They sure do make four cylinders much more powerful today! I love my sentra and have always wondered what it would be like with a turbo on it, and then I just came across this video and honestly this is the first I've heard of this new turbo-charged sentra. Keep up the great work sir! God bless!

[@KiaSorento-tu5op]

Christopher Walker I have an 05 Sentra . 110k miles. Great car. Never gives me problems

I don't know how well the aftermarket department is with this car but this car has some potential. A slight ride height drop and some bigger and gripper tires and I think this car would be a joy to drive.

They need to make the maxima manual again, but fix the huge exterior bodies they do nowadays.. Bulky is too much and doesn't look sporty at all.

[@VaunShiz]

Love how people in the comments all act like they some expensive sports cars lmao gotta love KZbin

[@flamingguy21]

I see the evolution of these cars. I miss the 1991

[@neuideas]

This car is essentially two cars in one: 1,000-3,000 rpm, and 3,000-6000 rpm. It's not bad below 3,000 rpm, but it's hardly impressive. Above 3,000 rpm, the engine comes to life, after about 2 seconds (the reviewers universally praised this car for minimal turbo lag, but I can't say I agree). I test drove the manual. The shifter gates are pretty tight, so I found myself accidentally downshifting into second instead of upshifting into fourth. It's fairly easy to shift, once you get used to the tight gating, but the clutch pedal engages kind of high for a Nissan. I found myself overrevving it while I was trying to get used to it. The moonroof encroaches on headroom, so if you're above 6'2", you might be bumping your head from time to time.

[@bobbydavenport8941]

Man i haven't seen one of your videos for a long time im happyi found this video i always enjoyed your videos

[@bmwmsport11]

Not a bad car. I was reading a magazine issue(not sure if it was C&D or Motortrend), but they said the Sentra ranked lowest in the compact category. Interior space was good but everything else sucked. Ride quality, power, steering feel. Honestly I like the Sentra, pretty decent looking and this turbo version is a nice addition. If only it made more power.

[@forrest225]

Yeah, 188 seems a bit low for a performance model. Supposedly a NISMO version is coming.

[@Jeff9691]

fuck yea.... NISMO sentra with 400HP, lets make it happen

[@forrest225]

haha, i think car and driver are expecting it to be around 240. i think they should aim for 500 >:]

[@Jeff9691]

240.. I'm thinking like 660.. still FWD.. go for thinner tires too 😃😃

[@forrest225]

Also needs 4 reverse gears for ultimate reverse donuts.

I have a Renault Clio RS with the same engine but EDC/DSG transmission and I think its a great motor, great efficiency and excellent power for the price, good job for Renault Nissan Alliance technology. Very good video guys!

[@ANDREWSAMY562]

I actually miss the old reviews

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

A 1990 Sentra xe was my wife's first car. Bought brand new with optional cassette deck for $9000 in 1990. First yr for fuel injection. Car lasted many yrs! Think we dumped it in 2001 with 190k.

[@niyaazisaacs1990]

If we get this car in Cape Town S.A the sales are going to be off the charts!

[@badarmunir1]

Niyaaz Isaacs no it wont lol this car is ugly af bro

[@niyaazisaacs1990]

It is but cape Town is greedy for almera, Sentra, Tida, Xtrail etc

[@badarmunir1]

Niyaaz Isaacs ahah ok bru

[@xmsteel]

Curious how much these will be, maybe for the right price it would be worth looking into. I had a 94 Sentra Coupe and loved it. Unfortunately wasn't the stick or the SE-R, but I really dig the new styling Nissan has done and a manual turbo really interests me.

[@gentle285]

Love t he co-op and love your honesty! Keep up the good work!

[@nicholas5129]

In Europe you cannot buy basic version of the car with automatic transmission and in America you cannot choose manual gearbox with basic version. What's more interesting manual gearbox is cheaper than automatic. That's funny.

[@nicholas5129]

I missunderstood. But it's still funny that you cannot buy manual transmission with any other version than the basic (which is poor equipped I guess) and the most expesive version.

[@rturner4205]

It's becuase Manuals are not really liked by most americans unless you want some fun in a sports car!

[@antonyavila9883]

manual gears are much better then automatic

[@metaljew4456]

Antony Avila What an Epiphany!!!

[@kenz2756]

in Indonesia, the automotive market is very different, many Japanese cars like this isn't sold here, because we have cars at the same price but has much worse value... and the Japanese sees that and makes different cars for us. hell, some European brands like Renault and Citroen or even caddilac (american) and many others aren't sold a single bit, is it weird for you?

[@chrisdroste3296]

First I'd like to point out that the tuning to the CVT you're experiencing actually started around 06-ish; when auto manufacturers were attempting mass-adoption of CVTs (see ford, dodge, hyundai, etc) one of the biggest things that gave people pause and even drove them away from brands was not only the questionable early reliability, but the "motor boat" effect they produced from engines. For some reason Nissan seemed hell-bent on eliminating the Manual and multi-gear transmissions for their lineup, and worked a LOT on software to get rid of that effect. the results really proved themselves and in 07-08 the late 6th-gen maximas it really paid off, at least imo as it's about the only CVT-equipped car I'd spend more than 2 seconds looking at before dismissing...because i freaking hate CVTs. Second-off; Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and i think the current Sentras look excellent! Class leader imo is still the Golf and the Mazda3 Though (howabout we get a Sentra SR Turbo sport-hatch Nissan?!). spec-wise; I think mr +Philip Rosenthale is quite a bit off the mark Lambasting almost 190hp in this class. Most cars that compare are going to be in the 140-185hp; so really we're at the top of the range. I took a look at curb-weight and it's just a bit over 2900lbs...rather mid-pack, tbh. HOWEVER, that compares quite favorably to the Mazda3sTouring with the 2.5L Skyactiv @ 185hp; Dodge's 2.4L "Tigershark" motor in the Dart R/T @ 184?hp, and the "turbo" Jetta is in the 170s. The Civic Si is 201hp and has been getting fatter lately, the Golf GTI and Jetta GLI are both 200hp but i believe both are heavier cars, and cost more. This 1.6L DI Turbo should be the same one from the Juke and I thought that motor and manual trans was brilliant! If Nissan's suspension engineers play it right, the Senta SR Turbo could compare quite favorably against the big-engine'd Mazda and be right on the heels of a GTI for a lower price. THAT, i think, is something to be excited about.

[@jonathanvanelli]

[@greg4055g]

Why don't you put the MSRP of the car in the description anymore?

[@saabkyle04]

Pricing for all new cars is now discussed in the video! (see description) I don't normally discuss pricing unless it's a new car regardless.

[@gregzangus3300]

[@danduhman1955]

not a real fan of the new format. It may have it's place with others, but as long as you continue with your tried and true original delivery, I'll remain a follower.

[@BernonCars]

It's just this video.

[@danduhman1955]

That's fine. I'm not asking he do away with it. He has to have progression in his format. I just prefer his no BS informative delivery of the essential info w/o personal injection. Jmho

[@saabkyle04]

It's not really a new format, just something in addition to the typical reviews. I will never diverge from what I've always done, that's what makes me unique. For press events and certain cars where a FULL in depth video doesn't make sense, something like this is more quick hitting and covers the essentials. I basically took everything I'd normally talk about and made it into a conversation. Most of these events only allow you a few hours or so with the car, which makes it almost impossible to do my normal videos. This way, I can still bring cool content in a timely manner. Hope that makes sense.

[@michaelreynolds8343]

Really nice review as always!!! Your doing such a great job lately! Do you think you can do more reviews with theses type of cars(affordable cars)? Thanks!

[@VkRmotorsport]

This engine should be standard in all versions, the power it delivers matches to the competition, ej Mazda 3, and Corolla, and just a bit more with de Focus and Jetta. I would be really interesting it had an truly sport engine that reaches 230hp at least and also a rear multilink axle.

[@TheTechCguy]

They really changed the look of this car over the years. I remember the Sentra from the 90s and the 2000s. Everything about this car looks good except that CVT that it has and have heard bad things about. What are your thoughts on that, Kyle?

[@drewneubuhr2919]

Tbh with a tune this thing would probably be pretty good. Maybe a small turbo upgrade and around 230-250hp would be great.

[@Trades46]

Sorry but this generation Sentra is bit yawn inducing. The Corolla, Cruze, Elantra and the Civic looks much more modern in terms of design. Even moreso than the Elantra or Corolla this Sentra screams "RENTAL CAR!" every time I see one. The SR turbo is a nice addition & the tweaks does make it slightly more appealing. 188hp however is weak, considering the last generation Sentra SE-R with its 2.5 inline 4 made 200hp easily. I feel this engine spec addition was spurred by the Civic's 1.5 turbo than what Nissan actually wanted to do with this. It doesn't break new ground; it is more a 'me-too' feeling to it. Also I HATE this new steering wheel. The last one was ok, but the round bubbly design may have worked in the Versa or Cube, but looks really out of place in this car's interior. I rather take the old one which resembles the current Altima steering wheel.

[@DMCarReviews]

When will you review the 2016 Altima?

[@Barobran92]

Looks like they put more features on the Sentra SR than they did on the Altima SR, like signal mirrors and LED headlights.

[@masterwhopper414]

Kyle, if you have driven the regular Sentra CVT, how much more reactive is the SR Turbo's CVT compared to it? Less laggy? More responsive?

[@MrCliffda3rd]

That 4x4 look!! Thought my base Cobalt was bad. Overall nice car though.

[@Rottylover87836]

I despise CVT transmissions. Step on the gas pedal and it sounds like you are killing it. So many typical "Budget Cars" are getting rid of typical 4, 5 and 6 gear automatics.

[@4dscdriver]

That sucks. My parents leased a Honda CRV, that thing was really noisy at highway speeds. No whistling, but lots of general wind and road noise. Got very tiring on long trips. We're glad to be done with that thing. I've heard for the newer ones they added more sound deadening.
