"Overall, drivers really enjoy the 2006 Nissan Sentra, praising its great fuel efficiency and reliability. Many find it to be an excellent starter car with decent performance. However, some drivers wish for more power and space, along with better handling in winter conditions."
I’m really enjoying this car, it drives really smoothly. everything runs well. im very happy with it.
November 26, 2024I Recently bought and 06 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V. I havent owned it for long, but here is my knowledge on this subject. Performance: This car has alot to offer for a decent price ( 0-60 7.2 sec. w/ 6- Speed manual) Thats what Nissan says anyway, But I tell you it feels a whole hell of alot faster than that. The reason for that is that The (2.5L I-4 engine) produces ( 175 HP and 180 Tor.) in a car that has a curb weight of (2710 lbs) which is pretty dam light. and the high quality tires help deliver all that torque and Horse Power to the ground, which in turn launches you forward. The thing that is really amazing about this car is how it handls. This car has very ridged suspension which helps it corner like it was on rails. Also My car came with the Brimbo Break kit which drastically improves its stopping power, which I believe is very important. Build Quality: Its a Nissan Enough said Appearance:I think it looks very stylish, But I dont really care for the front. I wish Nissan had kept the same front from the 01-03 models their front end looks 10x more aggressive. But for the most part I love it. Cost of Ownership: Its list price New was around 20-21K, and the maintenace is very low on this model anyway. It gets decent Gas Mileage with about(20-21 city) and (29-32 Highway) Fun Factor: Oh Hell yes! it has to be the most fun car I have ever driven for 20K. I mean I do own one after all :)
September 12, 2008The car got great gas mileage and should last a long time...i will def get this car to go 500k for sure... the downside to this vehicle it really lacks on is power... there is nothing like a turbo or V8 under the hood

August 6, 2009This car was awesome all around no complaints this car did it all speed looks and just an overall since of belonging to the road. No car I have ever owned can compare to this car I will always love this car.
July 4, 2009This is the best starter car in the world! 6 Speed Manual and limited slip differential going to the front wheels!? With a 2.5L QR25de? Its awesome and I want one so bad rn.
November 24, 2023Performance - Acceleration Good, Braking Awesome, Handling Good Build Quality - Everything that has broken has been easily fixed. Appearance - Like a regular Sentra, with a few minor things Cost of Ownership - Gas Milage - Kinda crappy, maintenance - nothing hateful. Fun Factor - A blast to drive on back roads, not so fun in traffic.
March 1, 2011The Spec V overall is a great car in the sport-compact class. It's well styled inside and out, has peppy performance, and a very reasonable price tag. Gas mileage is not what you would expect from such a small car, averaging 23 miles per gallon. The build quality overall seems pretty solid, with little to no rattles/squeaks. The performance overall is good. Acceleration is brisk from 1st to 3rd gear, after that this car feels like it falls flat on it's face. Braking and handling are comparable to most any other performance based sport compact car on the market. All in all, this is a fun, quick, sporty compact four door to drive. I'd recommend this vehicle to others.
September 24, 2009bought it with 700 miles on it!!! it is very relible and is one of the better cars i have owned. there is nothing worng with it. we bought the cars more for my wife and she loves it!! it is a fun car to drive and very good on gas
July 28, 2008I give this car a strong thumbs up. Good acceleration for a small car. For a small car it provides a really comfortable ride. Great power when accelerating. I didn't notice any delay doing take off. Suprisely quiet for a small car. Great mileage and smooth ride.
January 23, 2015Performer - Fast acceleration confident braking, composed through the corners. Build Quality - Interior is comfortable and rugged, but rattles and squeaks will make you want death. Appearance - Love it. Cost of Ownership - Great, so far. Fun Factor - You will be a hoon every time you get behind the wheel.
