2024 Nissan Sentra SR - POV Driving Impressions

[@oxiyne3487]

finally someone who really test drives the car

[@RCtennis3811]

It’s sad that Nissan’s image has gone so downhill (see BAE for reference) because they really do make decent mainstream cars again. The current Sentra is a good car for many people, and there really isn’t anything inherently wrong with it.

[@dave_riots]

The only issues I can think of when Nissan comes to mind is how dated their luxury cars look by comparison, and the fact that their JATCO CVT transmissions are really good in their hybrids, but are absolute dog in ICE-only models with no explanation as to why that is.

[@ralkia]

I think Nissan's problem is them not really doing anything to change/distinguish their brand image since it got damaged. They've always been a reasonably solid option as far as reliability goes, but that CVT issue and the CEO controversy really killed their reputation. There's also the "insane altima with half a bumper" stereotypes because that entire segment of Nissan's cars are intended for poorer buyers/lower credit scores. They're also just kind of a "boring" brand in a lot of people's eyes. Their economy sedans are middling in comparison to Toyota and Honda for the same price. The sports cars they sell have been the same platforms since the early 2000s except the R35, which is not actually that popular among other options for 100k+ (zero people in the USA will pick that over something more "luxury" like a Corvette or Porsche unless they really like JDM cars) ^It may be true that a lot of people don't care about these factors, but everyone hated on Toyota for years for being "boring beige car builders" until they introduced their new GR lineup. I love Nissan as a brand and wish they could do better, but the car market is a really fickle beast and it's hard to know what will make consumers buy

[@rnt45t1]

[@Userxxx840]

It’s okay, but there are better brands out there. Though you could probably find a Sentra more easily than a Corolla or a civic right now.

[@Unchainedmaple888]

Huge props to Nissan for keeping gloss black in the interior to an absolute minimum, looks like it's only around the shifter. I wish Honda had that sort of restraint before flooding the regular Civic interior with gloss black, as well as Mazda with the Mazda 3, and Toyota with the GR Corolla

[@flyingbullet12]

Don't leave out VW lol, they damn near plastered even the Arteon in gloss black in all the worst places.

Actually the paint color includes the blacked out roof but mine looks better my Sentra is a SR Midnight Edition it’s Aspen White tricolor with the super black roof, front grill , rear super black spoiler and also the gloss black shiny rims

[@Sarcasticone1]

I had a new Sentra as a rental for a few weeks recently and was actually pretty happy with it as a daily commuter.

[@adk7962]

Thanks for the great drive. I’m a child of the 80’s and 90’s and I remember Nissan was the go to brand for affordable sporty cars. Glad this one actually handles well (for the price). Thanks!

[@scottanthony3426]

Kudos to Nissan for putting in the effort to make something on the affordable end of the spectrum that still is a nice fun to drive package. My hope is that these cars are "gateway" cars as we build another generation of enthusiasts. My ulterior motive? The more enthusiasts, the more demand for more driver focused cars for the older generation too! Keep 'em coming. In my day, it was the second gen Prelude, VW GTI and Scirroci, Celica, etc. . This Sentra, with 4 doors, might suffice for young folks who might NEED the 4 doors, but don't want sluggish steering or to corner on their door handles. Very refreshing.

[@ccroy2001]

I have a 2020 Sentra SV trim and love it! I agree that it handles surprisingly well for a basic compact sedan. It's also quiet, comfortable, and gets great highway MPG. Next time you drive a Sentra, Altima, or other CVT Nissan look at the back of the shift knob, near its base. You should see what looks like a white minus sign. It's a sport mode button! "Ds" will display on the instruments and the car will hold revs higher, feels better cornering and provides some engine braking.

[@thiccieredd9606]

The pedal in general just feels a lot better and it feels like you have more control of your speed

[@CuriousGeorge1111]

My nephew has a Nissan sedan, and I had one for a couple of months as a rental. I thought everything about it was just a little better than I expected. A nice feeling.

[@JTube571]

That's a new color too for '24. I have one of these in SV trim as a lease vehicle and have been averaging ~40 mpg every tank. Individual trips as high as 46-47. Putting around town it accelerates nicely without needing too much throttle, CVT keeps the RPM's around 2k. As far as an A to B commuter car, this is probably the best Sentra that we've had in ~20 years. Unfortunately the great chassis and handling is wasted without a performance model. Even a slightly spicy one equivalent to an Elantra N-Line or Civic Si is badly needed. A revived SE-R with ~200hp and a full on Nismo model with ~300hp would be amazing...

[@mahinahmed2316]

How is it reliability wise ?

[@JTube571]

@@mahinahmed2316 so far on this one, no issues. I had a '22 before this that had a weird issue with going into some sort of limp mode if it had to accelerate up a steep hill with cruise control active. Would throw a few lights and the cruise wouldn't work anymore. Also felt like the car wouldn't accelerate properly. But if I stopped the car, shut it off, opened and closed the drivers door, then restarted the car it would clear everything and act normal. As usual the dealership couldn't replicate the issue.

[@themodernhvacenthusiast3889]

I just read an article that stated Nissan is in the works of producing a new 2024 Sentra Nismo DET with 6 speed manual, which I believe they may increase the output of the engine as well. Nonetheless, it seems they may be going back to their traditional roots of zippy cars that are fun to drive.

[@JTube571]

[@marksmith4582]

I’ve owned 5 different Toyota Camrys. It’s almost hard to beat Toyota quality. I’ve also owned a 2022 Nissan Altima SR which was a great car too! This 2024 Sentra SR would just about fit me perfectly! This is why I appreciate all of your videos Topher! I may have to look into trading my 2017 Camry XLE V6 at a nearby Nissan dealership beings as they have 3 Sentra SR models at their dealership! I know that dealership would make a great deal! Merry Christmas Sir! Mark in Iowa.

[@BoldBrandFlakes]

You might as well keep onto your Camry. What’s the point of trading it for a Sentra? The Sentra isn’t a bad car but I’d rather have that V6 XLE Camry.

[@marksmith4582]

@Jonathan-mp32x I owned a 2019 Camry XSE 4 cylinder that I bought new. It happened to be a great car with no trouble of any kind. I did trade it for a 2021 Camry XSE hybrid and loved that one too! That’s when I traded for the 22 Nissan Altima SR that my Toyota dealership had got in. In many ways I should have kept it but missed Toyota so back I went to the one owner 40,100 mile 1-owner 2017 Camry XLE V6. I had a 201 Camry XLE V6 before that and a great car it was as well. I’m simply meaning I really liked the Altima SR. It was super economical. I appreciate every response! Merry Christmas to everyone! Mark.

[@marksmith4582]

I’m sorry. A 2012 Camry XLE V6. Mark.

[@marksmith4582]

Thank you Jonathan. I appreciate your opinion. Do have a great Christmas! Mark.

[@hakeemsd70m]

​@Jonathan-mp32x Agreed. I'd argue that 2006 was the final year of the classic high quality Camrys. The 2007 model was the beginning of the end of Toyota's famous quality, the oil burning issues on the 2.4 were very bad. Unintended acceleration, and mediocre plastic interior fit and finish. You know Toyota was down bad if the then four year-old '07 Accord and new '07 Altima had way better interiors than the new '07 Camry.

[@PotatoWasteLand]

I'd never buy a modern Nissan. But I gotta thank you, Mr. Topher. You produce such great content with a wide range; you also focus on the reality most people live in, which is moderately priced cars. There's a couple of channels on YT that focus on the biggest and baddest or the newest 911 or the best Corvette, etc. And those videos are great, but they mean nothing for most people. You make content that applies to most people, that connects with most people and that most people can relate to and use. It's relevant and helpful to what most people are in the market for. Thank you for staying grounded on our planet and making content that is actually useful

[@beninformato9040]

Great Review! This Sentra provides tremendous value for what you get. I had a used 1984 Nissan 200SX hatchback coupe back in 1987-1990 when in college. A wedge shape sporty design with sloping hatch back. Light blue paint and light blue fabric/velour upholstery - A beautiful color combo. Same DNA as the Sentra today - compact, affordable, fuel efferent, sporty and fun. I loved that car. Very reliable little Nissan. I like this new Sentra too!

[@bagelsecelle9308]

I myself own a '23 Sentra SR. Pretty much the same car with updated exterior. The one thing I dont like that Nissan did for the Sentra is remove the Fog Lights for the SV-SR trim levels. Those things are pretty great and makes the car look very aggressive. Also few things to keep on note thats missed in this video is that this car still has Sports Mode (Better Throttle Response). Its that small button by the back of the shift lever. Also, you've mention that when you engage Cruise Control, the digital display automatically switch to the Cruise Control Screen. This can be disabled through settings to on the same screen. I believe its under Cruise Control Settings or Display Settings. All in all, the car has been good to me. I am in Canada and I have around 30k Kms on the car and still drives good and love how good this car is compared to close competitors like the Civic and Corolla at both trim levels. Also, in the Canadian Market, you can get the 2023 Sentra SR in a 6 Speed Manual Tranmission. Not sure about the 2024 in Canada. I will have to look that up myself.

[@SolsticeMusicHD]

Wow, was not expecting this review lol. I got a 2023 GR86 last year and my gf ended up getting the 2023 Sentra SR. Was shocked to see this video pop up. Nice to see you reviewing both our cars even if they are so different from each other. In the end we're both happy she got the 2023 SR. The new model doesn't look as attractive as the old. The front doesn't have the aggressive look anymore. The Auto Start-stop also completely killed anything the 2024 had going for it. For what they are, they are nice cars. It was cool seeing the new model from a POV. Thanks for the review!

[@Stratozfearz]

I've got a 2021 Sentra SR and absolutely love the thing. Road trip it every couple months and it handles it like a champ. Last trip I took it on was about 900 miles round trip and I averaged 38 MPG for those miles. On the highway I managed almost 50 MPG. I think for those who just want some nice features for the price, and a relatively comfortable driving experience, it's a great option. I'll probably keep mine until it dies honestly. I did get a wireless charging pad that fits perfectly in the center console and got a wireless CarPlay adapter and it improves the experience.

[@Thankful_n_Grateful]

How did you get 50mph? Flat Roads & Terrain... Cruise Control Set or Stesdy With Foot On Gas Pedals... What Speed Where You Driving to Get 50mph which is incredible... Thanks for sharing...

[@Stratozfearz]

@@Thankful_n_Grateful Mostly all interstate driving thru the desert with cruise control going about 60-65 miles per hour and drafting some semi trucks along the way. From Cabazon CA to Quartzite AZ I averaged 46 MPG. Then from Quartzite AZ to Tonopah AZ I averaged 48 MPG. I purposely drove more efficiently during that trip though. Normally I drive much faster. Lately I've been hovering between 28-35 MPG on my daily commute to/from work.

Nissan should bring back the SE-R to compete with the Elantra N, GTI, etc. 250+hp and a manual option. The more competition and choices in this space, the better.

They need an affordable sporty sentra again for sure. 95% of people really shouldn’t be buying a 40-50k anything.

They need to make an SI competitor not a type R competitor. They would most likely pull in more customers at that price point.

Nissan still blows. Their reputation is non-existent, their reliability is also tarnished.

Not necessarily, rumors are they are going back to their roots of making zippy cars with manual transmissions. For instance, they are currently developing a 2024 Nissan Sentra Nismo that has a 6 speed manual, which I would highly favor over the CVT (I generally hate CVTs though as they are not designed for reliability purposes, only to conserve fuel economy (MPG).

[@bajaracer31]

I have a 2022 SR with the 6 speed Manual, absolutely love it

[@martinscocan5221]

and here I was expecting this car to be crap and came away thoroughly impressed. The CVT reliability remains a concern but this CVT seems to drive much better than new CVT's from Honda and Toyota. I have noticed in your videos that Hyundai CVT's are also less drony than H or T. Great review, if I was in the market for this type of vehicle I would definetly check them out.

[@andrewsnyder5300]

Friends with a Nissan tech here. From what my buddy has told me he’s had virtually zero CVT replacements on any of the 2020 and newer models. Only time he can remember was when the CVT was damaged in an accident. In my opinion third generation Nissan CVT (2019 Altima, 2020 Sentra + Versa and 2021 Rogue) is about on par with competitors from Honda, Subaru and possibly even Toyota in terms of reliability

The non-linear tac on the newer Nissans drives me nuts! 0-2 then 3,4,5,6,7 I really don't mind the CVT when it acts like a CVT. I spend a lot of time (willingly) behind the wheel of a previous gen Sentra. It's a good little car. Gets incredible gas mileage ... hand calculated it blows the EPA estimates out of the water. It's not fast by any means, but it's not much slower 0-60 than my Mercury Grand Marquis ... The Grand Marquis at least makes cool V8 noises as it wheezes up to 60. Apart from changing the CVT fluid every 15K miles, maintenance and upkeep is cheap. Parts are super cheap and they're already in junkyards if you need interior panels. The rear twist beam axle isn't going to need alignments constantly. Rear drum brakes work, marginally, for 100K ... not doing calipers and rotors every other year. Actual parking brake with no electronic gizmos. No auto stall feature to ruin the flexplate and starter. Reasonably comfortable with a nice sized back seat. I hope enough people keep buying these so Nissan continues to make them. They're a great value for someone who needs a daily driver. I don't buy into the CVT problems as long as it's maintained.

Does this car have that thing where you can tap on the turn signal bar and it will blink a few times without having to actually push it all the way down or up? Also, there is a sport mode in the car. It's a little button on the gear shift.

[@icantdecideahandle]

BSM is standard

[@realmedia2212]

It's a beautiful car ❤

How would you compare this review to your past review of 2022 Honda Civic Sport with HPD w/ the 2.0L?

[@Trance88]

I've always been weary of the reliability of CVT's from Nissan. I have friends who have had their Nissan CVT go out in less than 100k miles. How many simulated shifts are there? When it does "shift" is it actually holding the belt on a certain pre-programmed position? I also noticed, cruising at 70mph you're only sitting at 1800RPM!

[@alvinsimba734]

70mph at 1800rpms is normal. My Corolla does about the same

[@lyndonmohammed3199]

I just got one a few days ago, brand new , on start up, while inside, do you notice a knocking noise coming from the right side of the cabinet?

[@ag6371]

7:30 the CVT

[@eyevincast5440]

Steering wheel is the exact same as in my 2019 rogue SL ….. nothing wrong with it “sporty” enough why change if it ain’t broke

[@yanick8633]

Definetely needs a sportier spec with a good transmission.

[@Thankful_n_Grateful]

Are You Using Sports Mode? It's button on shifter below the top nob...

[@caclavijo]

Get the 17 inch version. Good car.

You forgot sport mode in gear shift

Oh the manual transmission next - must be a great fun affordable car for the new enthusiast!

[@KeithSchwerin]

I really feel like the Altima's 2.5L would have made this Sentra perfect.

[@vipermoon_]

I hate the tachometer. It just skips from zero to two without it being apparent that it happened (on the dial)

[@kirillch]

Nice, nice car 👍

I really dont know if i should go with the 24 sentra sr w premium or kia forte gt w gt2 😭

[@alvinsimba734]

Go with Nissan Sentra

[@funnyname9615]

They have always been a relatively inexpensive A to B car! A to B cars are getting more expensive every year! At what point are basic cars going to be unaffordable for the people they’re designed for?

[@Thejasond1979]

Do they offer a manual too?

you wouldn’t buy it so what’s the point.

Similar round vents, that's about it.

Had this as a rental for a week. It was honestly alright, and grew on me slowly, however so many little details about it had me realize i'd never own one. The ergonomics are just off and uncomfortable: either the seats, mainly the headrest being so far back that you can't rest your head comfortably, the seats were not comfortable enough to justify 2 hour rides in the car (my back started to hurt in ways it didn't with my honda) the button placements of the most common controls were too far, super slow engine, to the point that i had to have it in sport like 50% of the time just to be able to overtake or speed up to speed limit speeds. Economy was pretty good though, infotainment was meh, space was good

Honestly test drove this car a couple weeks ago, seems very sluggish and underpowered mind you, I have a 2020 civic ex sedan w the L15B7 and its a healthy daily around 240wtq and 264whp and my cvt is still like new. You'd at least think for they're top sentra trim they'd go w a higher output version of the 2.0n/a or even the 2.5 from the altima

[@KingXavi0323]

Or put they're 7spd now that would've made a much more engaging/controlled feel to the car paired w wheel mounted paddle shifters🙌🏽that'd be beautiful
