2009 Nissan Sentra Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I bought this car purely for the CVT. Wanted an automatic and all the other compacts whine at 3000+ RPM going highway speed. It has a decent amount of horsepower for a compact car (2.0 L, 140 HP). When I first bought the car the brakes were misaligned. After alignment, they squeaked, but the dealer was eager to resolve the issue and made a good impression as a result. Cost of ownership is low, I usually spend about $100/month on gas, and drive about 700-800 miles each month. Besides the brakes, it hasn't needed any other work. It handles well and has a good turn radius. It struggles to pass and accelerate into traffic without punching the gas pedal, but I guess that's the nature of the CVT. It does great on the highway (easily 30+ mpg) and rides at a comfortable and quiet 2000 RPM going 70 mph.

Amazing performance for such a small car. Terrific workmanship, even though the wheel covers could be better. Love the styling! Aggressive and refined at the same time! Paying so much less for gas than my SUV and currently haven't had to have any maintenance done yet. A great driver to! I love it!

Performance was great for the price, nothing like that for $20,000+, great build quality, gets great milleage for 177hp engine 8.7L/100km, it is the ultimate budget pocket rocket, i would like the stability control and traction control but i think that will be added soon

great gas mileage, very comfortable, love the many features bluetooth, heated seats , outside temperture, trip computer, sunroof. rated 10 out of 10. acceleration is very smooth with the cvt transmission. abs brakes are standard, interior/exterior styling is very good.

The only mod that I currently have is exhaust, so there isn't a whole lot for me to say at the moment. Great acceleration,good braking,handles like a glove & the stock Rockford audio system is pretty damn good! the gas mileage far exceeds my old '03 spec V which is great! I love driving it & cant wait for the mods!

this car looks good great gas mileage and is the great daily driver but not sports car or even rally car. it looks great it is fun to drive and will do corners pretty awesome. In short it is pure ectasy.

Nissans are great cars all around. Also, with the SL package, you get a lot of car for not that much money. Looks like a maxima but drives like an compact. Love it and I would recommend it to anyone

Very reliable, drives okay, great on maintenance but no power. I would have loved the interior seats to be darker in color because I have kids (but I got this on a great deal, so can,t complain). Overall, it is good on gas, does its job as a go around car. I have owned this for about 5 years, I have never done anything more than routine maintenance.

Its ok some work had to be done on the car. No mirror on the visor on drivers side. you have to ajust the side mirror by hand or have a passenger to move the mirror for you! For this car to be a 2009, its behind on up dated features!!!!!

The Sentra is a great economical vehicle! Great gas mileage!
