2017 Nissan sentra sedan automobile.
Very nice handling vehicle. Plenty of power. Comfortable ride. Nice interior with back up camera to assist you with safety in parking lots. Can be a little loud from road noise. Engine and transmission are smooth. Also has an “eco” and “sport” button to give a little zip in the city and better fuel economy on the road.
accountCircle Alex G
Beyond its time definitely holds strong.
The mileage has to be the biggest issue for me, it has to be longer to accustom my way of driving. It is very reliable when it comes to gas performance since you will not need to fill it up as much as you need. Love the features it is accustomed to my style of car and up to modern technology that I enjoy.
accountCircle Mackenzie M
Reliable stick shift at affordable prices.
111,000 miles and no breakdown. It's a stick shift which may be why. Only issues is inside upholstery is starting to peel up, and the clutch is pretty finicky. Otherwise the car looks great and drives great, only oil changes and brakes have been needed on the car.
accountCircle Sydney C
Undercarriage shield on Nissan sentra.
The vehicle runs perfectly especially for it to be a 2017. The main issue that I have came across is the body of the vehicle. By this I mean there is a shield underneath the vehicle that I have noticed hangs down upon the first bump against a high driveway or curb. I have personally removed this shield as it causes more harm than protection to the undercarriage.
accountCircle Mark R
Sentra midnight edition review.
Love the color and the midnight edition is not seen very much on the road so I feel like I have something a little more unique. Good pickup and nice amenities inside. I feel it will be a good looking car and modern enough to blend in with the rest of the vehicles on the road for years to come.
accountCircle Anna P
I would recommend this car to anyone saves a lot on gas, decent amount of space.
My car is a very good car. It is great for a family of 3. It saves a lot on gas. It rides smooth. The car has an amazing radio. That trunk is very spacious as well. The car does not go that fast so it is great for someone learning to drive. This car has been a great investment.
accountCircle Amanda F
I love the heated seats and the defrost is super fast compared to my old car!
Makes a small tapping noise when cold. Brakes squeal pretty loud depending on whether it has rained or if it is cold outside. Car was bought used so there were some scratches but they're easily fixable if needed. Comfort and performance are way better than when I had my ford escape.
accountCircle Zoe W
I love my car and it is reliability!
I have experienced no problems in the 2 years I have owned it. Very reliable. High mpg, 33.6. I fill up every week or so and drive on the interstate. Easy to keep clean. I drive very often, I make 30 mil trips often. My car gets to speed quickly. No engine or brake problems.

The seat warmers are so helpful.
The car is so comfortable. And I love that there’s a camera to help backup or change lanes. With the hatchback my husband was allowed to put the back seats down so he could move big stuff to our new house.

Civil review of my 2017 Honda civic.
I like how fun the civics are to drive and how study and dependable they are to drive in. I plan to trade my current car in for a 2022 Honda civic when they become available to the general public to buy. I am excited for the new trim level to come out next year and buy it.
accountCircle Dan S
Honda civic - the best affordable mid tier sport sedan.
Vehicle with a great sport design and really solid built making it a reliable vehicle for an affordable price. The internal combustion system and the weight of the vehicle allows a very high efficiency gas consumption, averaging around +32 miles/gal in urban driving and +40 miles/gal on the highway. Includes really nice features as side/back cameras, decent size screen for GPS, etc..
accountCircle Scott A
The civic is very much a turn key vehicle. No worries with It's reliability.
I have had the civic for 3 years now and zero issues, just normal maintenance. The car seats 4 comfortably and I get over 40 miles per gallon on the highway and over 30 city. The civic has been a very reliable car so far and I hope for years to come.
accountCircle Leticia T
Need a better car for the snow.
It is okay not the best car. I do not mind the car. But. I would like a new car. The car is a little small. But I had Honda civics for a long time. I really like how efficient it is. But I need a bigger car to handle with the snow. It is so difficult so I need a new one.
accountCircle John M
The seats of the 2017 Honda civics are really comfortable.
My 2017 Honda civic drives really smoothly, but it took a lil bit of time to get used to it, the breaks can be really hard to push down, but after a couple of weeks I got used to it. Also the seats are really comfortable for the amount of money your spending on the car!
accountCircle Aishwarya V
Easy and comfortable experience as far as driving it goes.
The car is comfortable, easy to navigate, good for everyday use, decent mileage, suitable for long drives, ample space in the back for storage, reasonably priced, good leg space. Extra features such as heated seats, fog lights etc can be added if needed.
accountCircle Angel R
What to consider when getting a used car.
It is a small sports cars but it is great on gas and the technology it comes with makes it worth it. Compared to other car brands I would have to say this is the one that makes you feel like you are in a luxurious car even though you are not. The only thing I miss is not having awd.

2017 Nissan sentra: a reliable and safe choice.
This is a great car. It has been very reliable and good on gas mileage. In the 2 years we've owned it we haven't had any issues, only the cost of tires and oil changes. My one and only complaint is that I am too tall and often need to duck to check blind spots, etc.

Honda civic hatchback review.
There is a lot of wind noise and road noise. When driving, you can hear cars passing and the wind blowing by the windows. The car drives well and not many issues that I have noticed. Because of the little creases and folds of the car, dirt seems to accumulate pretty easily.
accountCircle Michael C
Great value for money despite a few issues with size.
The car is good and reliable as a sedan but is a little too low to the ground which does not help living in Los Angeles. Also, even though it can go from 0 to 60 in a few seconds, it is not as fast as one would think. It is also a little on the smaller side on the inside, and I have had a few issues with the tires again, due to how low the car is from the ground.
accountCircle Addis G
Pros and cons of 2017 Honda civic.
My main issue with the vehicle is a battery/charge problem. Even with a new battery, the battery quickly dies when idle. It's an issue I've seen with various Honda's from this generation. But I love the slick look of the car. It saves a lot of gas and is very reliable nonetheless. A great daily driver.
accountCircle JBrooke
Surprisingly unreliable car
Bought this car new in 2017 and in the 3 years since have experienced several major issues: 1) failed A/C system (compressor/condenser), failed gauge module (essentially the entire electronic display panel showing speed, etc.), and 3) engine rattle that loosens the dashboard and creates a bigger rattle. The A/C issue is particularly frustrating as Honda is aware of it but has not offered sufficient support for fixing it. Additionally, the infotainment system has been glitchy and hard-to-use since day 1, although this is more about its poor design than anything mechanical/electric.

Pros & Cons from Owners

2017 Nissan Sentra

likeFilled Samuel T.

It has very good gas mileage and is a very dependable car. I like the ecoboost option it has and is very simple to understand. I like that it is also a push button and doesn't go for very much in the market up against its competitors like the corolla.

dislikeFilled Samuel T.

Its had a couple of recalls and my biggest concern is the airbag recall. I had my brake switch stop working also and I wasn't really informed on why. I always take it to the dealership and since it is an import, car parts are expensive and so is the labor.

likeFilled Eileena C.

The 2017 Nissan Sentra S is great on gas, it may be on the smaller end of sedan models but still houses enough room and can seat up to 5 people including the driver. The Sentra does come with a USB port and aux port as well as a cigarette lighter port for additional charging services. The Sentra has a decent amount of trunk space and is a great choice for a student drivers.

dislikeFilled Eileena C.

With S being the base model it lacks preferable features such as a sunroof, back up camera, and other attractive technological/entertainment features. The driver's seat lacks a rear pouch meaning that the interior of the vehicle provides less storage.

likeFilled Wesley L.

Good on gas. It is not too small and it gets me from place to place. Good radio speakers. Smooth ride and many other things like spacious back seating the color is nice I like my car. I am glad I got this car instead of something I was offered.

dislikeFilled Wesley L.

I REALLY WISH IT HAD A TOUCH SCREEN RADIO AND ELECTRIC SEATS. Does not have seat warmers or anything else I like. Sometimes the radio does not play my music from my iPhone when hooked up to the radio. I wish it didn't do that.

likeFilled Steven W.

Reliable. Decent gas mileage. Comfortable. Small. Convenient. Easy to drive. Sporty. Black. Good trunk space. 4 Door. Power steering. Power brakes. Looks. Safety rating. Airbags. Tire gauge. Eco friendly. Inexpensive.

dislikeFilled Steven W.

Lower gas mileage than other cars. Frequent oil changes needed. Windshield wipers needed to be replaced after 15,000 miles. Radio system is absolutely terrible. Tire pressure fluctuates depending on the weather.

Pros & Cons from Owners

2017 Honda Civic

likeFilled Saraii M.

My Honda civic is great on gas. As well as safe driving- also. Trunk space, great body style, easy to drive. It is great as a small family car. The cons would be light body. No heated seats and no remote start included.

dislikeFilled Saraii M.

The cons for the Honda civic would be light body- does not feel as sturdy as my Infiniti. Also not heated seats and no remote start. I think if it was included when we bought it we would've felt is was a better buy.

likeFilled Rory S.

My Honda civic has great gas mileage, is affordable, reliable, and has some nice modern features like Bluetooth connection and phone pairing. I have never had any issues with the car itself or replacing any parts except for regular maintenance.

dislikeFilled Rory S.

I have had trouble with the Bluetooth connection where if I put in multiple phones it seems to not want to keep my main phone connected. I could be doing something wrong but it has happened multiple times and can be frustrating.

likeFilled Kristopher B.

The acceleration and overall speed of the car is good. Nice looking. Good features. I like that the car fits me physically with everything in reach. It has a great sound system and easy controls. It rides nice on road. The interior is good and has a nice look to it.

dislikeFilled Kristopher B.

I do not like that it take a long time for the climate control and radio controls to load on the touch screen. It starts the radio without any ability to control it until this is complete. The cup holder is odd and is difficult to move around. There needs to be more cup holders as well.

likeFilled Cassie B.

I absolutely love my new car. It is a great family vehicle, not only is it comfortable and roomy but it is also an extremely safe vehicle to have. I love all the driving features. As a mom of two boys it is nice to have a car that helps and assists you while you are driving because it can be a little chaotic and a big distraction to have kids in the car. This car allows you to get place to place very safely. It allows you to know if you are getting too close to the lines it will not let you run off the road it'll correct your driving and it will also help you with traction control during rainy days. The only thing I have to say bad about the car is some people get annoyed by it constantly telling you what to do but you can turn that off. I prefer to leave it on because I know I am being extra safe.

dislikeFilled Cassie B.

Great on gas, very roomy and comfortable, affordable, a very safe reliable vehicle to own especially if you travel a lot. It lets you know your lifespan on your oil and how many miles you got left to the gallon. It warns you when people get too close to you and if you fall asleep it is will slow the car down and pull you to the side of the road. I love my vehicle and I would highly recommend it to others especially mothers.
