2010 Nissan Sentra

Last Updated:



Just minor tweaks for the new year. Nothing really new.
I test drove the Sentra a while ago (You can search the site for the review) and really liked it.
Unlike the horrible CVT in the Rogue, the one in the Sentra actually works great.
And the engine was always super smooth and quiet.
But it really doesn’t look great. And these small changes aren’t improving things.

The big news inside is the fact that the Navigation now costs “only” $400. Which is actually a great price.
I guess these things will finally come down in price, from the $1500/$2000 range they’ve been for years…

  1. the sentra and rogue cvt are twins. 100% identicle. you may need to drive another Rogue and soon. The Nissan CVT is outstanding. Perghaps the rogue you drove had a cvt reprogramming glitch, very easy to fix. go drive another one now!

  2. The Sentra is the least competitive vehicle in its segment by far. There is not a single element of this vehicle that makes it desireable.

    I'd rather have just about anything than the Sentra, I'd rather have an Elantra.

    The Civic is an older model and still outsells it 3.5:1. That is a HUGE margin. Go drive a Civic back to back with a Sentra, you will see why it sells better.

    I've driven two Rogues, I hated the CVT in both of them. It is far from "outstanding". Go talk to someone who has had theirs fail (I've known two people). $6,000+ for a unit.

  3. I have a fleet of these (12). I had a fleet of honda civics. So far, 2 years in and an average of 12,000 miles on each, trouble free. My fleet drivers comments vs civics, sentra is quieter, smoother, roomier, and better on fuel. So far, Nissan Wins!

  4. listen up children…..this car is a beauty. far superior to toyota corollas 15 year old look, hondas trying too hard civic. mazda 3 is the only real competitor. Sentra does everything better than all those cars. my opinion only, but I am a senior editor for a major car mag. I can't write this in my magazine, too much politics there.

  5. yea yea yea im a car magazine editor. I am this and that.
    Wel most of us are normal people and we have owned all different sorts of vehicles and probably have more experience than you with them as you only more or less drive them for a few days.
    This sentra looks about 15 years old as well. And this also is trying too hard to look like a renault. Yuk

  6. Listen up little girls…I am president of USA and this car is good…Can't say it though…Too much politics there.

  7. What an idiot above. Senior editor of a major publication and he can't even punctuate correctly? Please spread your BS elsewhere.

    The Sentra is a dull vehicle that wasn't competitive when it was released. All of the major publication have disliked the Sentra and I hate it. It is boring, drives boring, the interior is cheap and boring. I don't see them often at all. Check the sales figures and you will see almost everyhimg in the Sentras class outsells it aside from the Lancer.

    This was a low effort vehicle and it shows.

  8. "this also is trying too hard to look like a renault. Yuk" WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD EVER INTENTIONALLY TRY TO MAKE THEIR CAR LOOK LIKE A RENAULT?

  9. The Sentra SUCKS!!!!

    The SE-R Spev V is about the worst vehicle you can own. I had a 2004 and it constantly had something wrong with it. Check myspecv.com (if it is back up) or b15sentra.com and see what people say about it. They even say to buy something else, like a Civic Si.

    I am not even kidding. The VQ25 is a terrible motor, I had one in my Spec V and it had quite a few problems, especially with oil consumption.
