2010 Nissan Sentra Review: Dependable & Spacious Compact Sedan

Aug 31, 2022

The 2010 Nissan Sentra lasts around 250,000 miles with only some computer and battery cable issues. At $5,062 to $6,512, it’s a good value for a compact car that buyers can count on.

The Good

The cabin has more passenger room than other small sedans, the navigation system works well and the largest engine offers good performance.

The Bad

The base engine is weaker than other compact cars, there are not many safety features available and the suspension is firm.

Is the 2010 Nissan Sentra a Good Used Car?

Yes, 2010 is a good year for the Sentra earning an overall rating of 8/10. Owner reviews praise the fun driving experience, comfortable cabin, and the efficient engines.
Interior quality is decent at 7/10, with a lot of plastic and cheaper cloth used in the cabin, but the seats are comfortable, and the stereo system is basic.
Reliability ratings are good at 7/10. Models from 2009-2010 are good choices, but there are a lot more problems with models from 2011–2015.
Performance is average from the base engine, but the larger 4-cylinder offers good power for the size of the car.
The Sentra is a safe compact car with a perfect 5-star rating overall in government crash tests, and a 4-star rating in the side impact passenger test.
Fuel economy is good for a compact car at 29 MPG, which should get owners about 420 miles of range out of the 14.5 gallon gas tank. Fuel costs are $34/month cheaper than average at $169/month for a Sentra that drives 15,000 miles per year.

Positive Owner Reviews

Macy L

I love my Nissan so much!

Very reliable. Good in the snow and icy roads. Good on miles. Pretty cheap to maintain. Parts are accessible. Drives very smooth. Acceleration is quick. Seats are comfortable. Nice size truck. Lots of legroom in back seat. Interior is easy to clean.

LaTwaan B

Reliable transportation for a great price.

My car has been reliable. I have only had routine maintenance done such as oil changes. I still have all the original parts (starter, alternator, etc.) The car still works great to be 10 years old. No electrical problems and no transmission problems thus far.

Chris A

Nissan sentra and its ability.

The Nissan sentra is most definitely a reliable car that I would recommend to anybody wanting a last longing car. The only problem I would say I have had with them are actually little to none. Most of my repairs have been so inexpensive. So to anybody looking for a long lasting car this is the one!

Rachel S

Cute and reliable Nissan Sentra.

It is reliable and comfortable. My vehicle has leather seating and screen navigation (though the navigation system is rather outdated and needs to be updated via sd card). There is also hands-free Bluetooth calling, but no voice-to-text option. The performance is pretty standard for a sedan, it is no sports car but it does what I need when I need it.

Jessica D

My Nissan sentra review:).

My car is a used car so it has a few problems but for the most part it is an amazing car. The only big issues I have with it are the brakes because if I hit the brakes too hard it makes the wheel shake but other than that the car runs smooth and it is great for a first car.

Tania V

It's getting old, but I like my sentra.

The 2010 Nissan sentra is great on gas, with proper maintenance wear and tear is good to last you. The only problems I experienced are the tps had to replace all 4 tire sensors and the service engine light for the catalytic converter code is still on the dashboard even after changing its sensor.

Elise M

The most important thing others should know about my car is its reliability

Very few problems, very reliable. The best car I have owned. Amazing trunk space with back seats that fold down

Tyler G

The CVT is amazing and I love it

There are no complaints I have about my vehicle. My wife doesn't like how it drives, but she doesn't have to drive it. It is a good car and I'm thankful It's paid off.

Negative Owner Reviews

Yvette Y

The car that is not made for these streets.

When I purchased this vehicle I was told that there was nothing wrong with it, a couple of months in a plate above the muffler was loose and no matter how many times I get it fixed it seems to come back loose, and now the ride is not smooth at all the whole car sounds like a tin can rolling down the street.

joe peacher

Shocks

No ..cause replacing rear shocks is very difficult

Tea M

Not a fine wine, does not get better with age.

No ac, had to replace the engine. Steering is going on the car as well. Make a ton of noise when I drive it. Needs to have new shock and rotors. The finishes on the inside are fading. The seal coating on the steering wheel is coming off. Due to the heat the rear view mirror has cracks in it.

Jasmine A

2010 black Nissan sentra. Has only all wheel drive.

My car is very small and low to ground. Sometimes I feel like my car will blow away when it's windy out. I do get great mileage for the city and highway. I fill up my tank once every two weeks. I wouldn't recommend for everyday travel. I live in a city where it snows a lot and this past winter was rough on my engine but it did efficiently get me through feet of snow.

Cortney B

I get 30 mpg so I do not to fill up much. And the truck has so much space.

The only thing that I have to complain about right now is that the tire sensors went out and it just keeps the flat tire light on all the time. Otherwise it is a great vehicle I just wish that it was bigger but the mpg is worth it. Besides the mpg the trunk is huge and I can fit a ton of stuff in there.

Ginny S

There okay as a brand. Nice at first but their customer service stinks.

To many to say this was the second one I owned, I tried to give it a chance.

Michael S

My car is loud. It seats 5. Surprisingly large trunk space

Too low to the ground. Damage to my exhaust. Cannot see when visor is flipped down

Taylor E

No major mechanical issues and when I have had to make repairs it is been cheap.

The car is very reliable. I have had very few issues with it mechanically. However, it is not very up to date. There is no Bluetooth or backup camera. It is nothing spectacular to look a, and the features are pretty boring. However, the car gets the job done and gets me were I need to go.

What Do Critics Say About the Nissan Sentra?

Consumer Reports says the Sentra is a very good daily driver with a roomy cabin, but owner satisfaction scores have dropped as it’s aged.
Edmunds gives the Sentra a 4.4/5, praising the comfortable seats, but doesn’t like the slow acceleration from the base engine.
Kelley Blue Book users rate the Sentra 4.3/5 and enjoy the cargo space and practicality, but owners don’t like the poor performance compared to rivals.

What Common Problems Does the 2010 Nissan Sentra Have?

The most common problems found on the 2010 Nissan Sentra include the engine failing to start, a bad battery cable, and inaccurate speedometer readings. Overall, these problems are similar to other budget-friendly compact cars from 2010, and repair costs are average as well.

The engine failing to start is the most common complaint from owners at around 45,000 miles. Some owners have found computer issues which prevent the vehicle from starting. Replacing the computer costs about $800, and permanently fixes the problem for most owners.

A corroded battery cable is another issue reported by owners at around 35,000 miles. The battery cables can cause the vehicle to stall while driving and have to be replaced. There was a recall for the issue and Nissan replaced the battery cable free of charge for owners.

An inaccurate speedometer is another complaint from owners at around 1,000 miles. The wheel speed sensor on some models was not accurately calibrated. Changing out the sensor solves the problem and costs about $250 if it develops problems as it ages.

There are 3 recalls, better than other compact cars from 2010. The most serious recalls are both for the battery cable, which can cause the vehicle to shut down and is replaced to fix the issue. The other recall is for a GPS unit and not a big concern.

How Long Will the 2010 Nissan Sentra Last?

A well-maintained 2010 Nissan Sentra will last around 250,000 miles, giving it a durability score of 8/10, which is similar to top rated competitors like the Honda Fit. Regular annual maintenance costs are average for a compact car at around $471 per year, according to data provided by Repair Pal.

Since most 2010 Sentra models will have over 100,000 miles buyers should be prepared to replace items including the oil pressure sensor for $275, A/C condenser fan costing $250, and the distributor assembly which costs around $600.

Kaio P

I have owned this car for 5 years with no problems having surfaced. The car does need to be realigned frequently and the brakes do have consistency issues.

Jerusha W

Yes, it is very reliable. It does have a few problems now like my gas cap does not close anymore. Also, my heat makes a funny noise when it is on. But other than that, I have no major complaints about the car.

sierra b

I mean it might just be because we didn't buy the car brand new but the speakers need some work. Other than that I love the car.

Earlena D

The sentra does not have any problems. The motor is very strong and since having a tune up the car runs like a champion.

Natalie C

Again, I have not had any major problems. The big thing is that the brakes will squeak from time to time, but it does not affect the performance of the vehicle itself, just makes noise.

Caid C

Yes it’s reliable but I've had some problems with it recently that I haven't been able to fix due to money issues but I would get my Nissan over again if I had to

Mike K

Yes! I think it is reliable and I have not had any problems or issues. I feel Nissan card in general for not have any major problems.

Jessica E

The 2010 Nissan Sentra is very reliable. I've only had two issues with it so far but it has been running great since having them fixed.

Is the 2010 Nissan Sentra a Good Value?

Yes, it’s a good value. Blue book prices range from $5,062 to $6,512, which makes the Sentra cheaper than similarly equipped compact cars like the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic. When new, the price range was $15,420 to $20,080. Depreciation is similar to other compact cars, losing about 10% of its current value per year.

What are the Different Models of the Nissan Sentra?

What Colors Does the Nissan Sentra Come In?

How Big Is the Nissan Sentra?

The 2010 Nissan Sentra is a compact sedan earning a 7/10 for passenger & cargo space and is similar in size to the Honda Civic and Ford Focus. Passenger space is better than average throughout the cabin, with plenty of legroom for adults in the back seats.

Cargo space is good for a compact car, with enough room in the trunk for 3-4 full size suitcases.

How Does the Nissan Sentra Compare to the Competition?

The Nissan Sentra is a run of the mill compact car, and the last good year before the widespread transmission problems which showed up in 2011–2015.

The Hyundai Elantra is a popular competitor offered in the same price range. Interior materials are more luxurious in the Hyundai Elantra, but the Nissan Sentra is more fun to drive with stronger engines. We recommend the Nissan Sentra for 2010 since there are fewer mechanical problems as well.

The Nissan Altima is another compact car from Nissan which costs about $1,500 more. Passenger space is better in the Nissan Altima and the V6 is more powerful, but the Nissan Sentra stands out with a better steering feel. We recommend the Nissan Sentra since there are fewer transmission problems reported by owners.

Do Owners Recommend the Nissan Sentra?

Kaio P

Yes, the car is reliable, gas saving, and easy maintenance. The car seats 4 people with comfort but gets tight with 5. Excellent trunk space considering size of car.

Jerusha W

Yes, it is. I have had this car for almost 10 years now, and I haven't experienced any major issues with my car. Only in year 8 and 9 have I had to take it to the dealership to get major work done on my car. But, I recommend this car to everyone who needs something reliable.

sierra b

Yes so far it's been the most reliable car I've had. The car itself is very spacious and its good on gas.

Earlena D

Yes Nissan's are very reliable vehicles. I have not had to encounter any major repairs outside of basic maintenance on the vehicle. The sentra is great on gas and can be a good starter car for a child who is learning to drive.

Natalie C

I think it is a really good vehicle. It is super dependable and I have had minimal technical problems with the vehicle over the past few years. I love the way it feels to drive. The design is simple and sleek.

Juan C

Yes it’s a good vehicle, very reliable and my very first car that I've had for 3 years so far and one more year to go

Paula G

I think so! It has been good to me! It is my roommates but I use it often. I think it is reliable and a good city car

Gail S

Yes, I have found mine to be very reliable and fun to drive. It gets fairly good gas mileage and has responsive handling.

Just bought my 2010 Sentra 2.0 Manual 6 speed

Minus one star because cruise control should be standard but for $6,500 this car runs great at 128,000 miles I haven't noticed any oil consumption that some have noted this could be a sign the oil wasn't changed regularly, power is strong with the manual 6 speed and it shifts nice the clutch is easy and letting the clutch out at idle it doesn't stall, one thing I would recommend before buying one used make sure they change the spark plugs and coil packs if the plugs get seized in the head trying to remove them could crack the head, you're going to want cruise control my foot gets tired and you won't notice you're going over 80 mph unless you're looking at the speedometer because the engine is so quiet, the front struts need replacing on mine but you won't notice it unless you hit bumps at low speed make sure there good before buying or negotiate a lower price, not a problem for me because I plan on buying adjustable coil over struts to lower the car a bit and install 18's I wouldn't buy one with the automatic Transmision, CVT is not for me, they have issues unless you get one cheap enough to have it replaced which could cost over $3,000

Ashley C on June 11, 2021

The sentra was a great starter car!

I have had my Nissan sentra since my graduation of 2013. It has reliably seen me through learning to drive during high school when it was in possession of my grandfather through college in a new city. I have no major issues with minimal maintenance standards used.

Sara D on June 10, 2021

Overall all the car is great for a first time driver.

I really love the Nissan Sentra, it is easy to drive and since it is very small in size it makes it easy for parking! It have a big trunk space which is perfect for moving, laundry or grocery shopping! It also have a very nice space for my children and their car seats.

Liz M on May 29, 2021

Accelerates super fast and I love it does not consume too much gas.

Something always comes up every month. It is reliable but I wouldn't trust a whole trip in it. The air conditioner works always amazing. Heater also works amazing. Comfort is good, but I wish it was a little more comfortable in the lower back seat area.

Tiffany R on May 22, 2021

2010 Nissan sentra gossip.

We call my car speedy. We get everywhere we need to go. Having a few problems with the transmission, but it's still going strong. We bought my car used. It probably needs more work than we think. Does not have cruise control but wish it does. Trunk is very spacious. Would have loved to have this car brand new.

Emily G on May 22, 2021

Nissan sentra rides great, plays audio great, but fixes are pricey.

I love the Nissan sentra, however my model is getting older (2010) and has high mileage, so I keep having performance problems and pricey fixes. It is difficult to change the spark plugs and ignition coils due to Nissan's engine set up. Fixing my a/c blower motor was a challenge as well.

Veronica C on May 12, 2021

Small and comfortable Nissan sentra.

Vehicle is very reliable, however maintenance for brakes is the most frequent issue. For a small vehicle, the trunk is very spacious. Good for drivers who do not like big or bulky cars. Car features are somewhat outdated, no Bluetooth, touchscreen or camera.

Kevin D on May 6, 2021

Nissan sentra review. Nissan sentra sedan. This car it is quiet and smooth.

The only problems I have had is with the battery and starter. It performed great. It has amazing gas mileage and is so reliable. This model is basic with no special features. The one thing it does have that I love is an amazing sound system. This car runs very quiet.

Cara S on May 3, 2021

Great car for all ages - gas mileage can get you anywhere during life.

No problems. Great gas mileage. Great longevity in a vehicle. Have had the car for 10 years and have only had to change tires, brakes, oil, and gas. Rides comfortably in the city and on the interstate. Inside feels cramped, but the trunk is massive. Great car for new drivers.

Daniela G on April 19, 2021

I like how the speakers are really good quality.

It is comfortable, it has good air conditioner, good speakers, it has a radio, and aux cord, so far I haven't had any problems with it, good space for 5 people, good back storage. The seats are comfortable and good for my size. It is overall my favorite car that I have had.

Niya M on April 12, 2021

Car is great for families.

The car is very good, the way it runs is great. Mines is really old so it has been having issues but overall I think it's a good car to buy. It fits a good number of people. The trunk has a good enough of space. The seats are comfortable. If you have a family this is the perfect car for you.

Drea C on April 5, 2021

Nissans are the best. I love my car.

My Nissan is very reliable, safe and well taken care of. I have had my vehicle for almost five years and never had a problem. I definitely recommend purchasing a Nissan. With every car you have to make sure you keep everything up to date and your car can last a long time.

terayn A on March 27, 2021

Minor issues when owning a Nissan sentra.

I own a silver 2010 Nissan sentra. I paid about 30000 for the car. I bought the car new and still have it in 2020. The overall performance of the car is good. When I was younger I was always on the go. So now ten years later I have about 140000 miles on my car. I have had the usual auto problems the older the car gets. I have had to get a new catalytic converter, and have had to change fusses a couple of time. The only complaints I really have about the car itself is mostly wiring issues and defective switches. I have had my drivers side and my passengers side windows switches replaced because they stopped working. It was kind of expensive and I figured that I wouldn't have the problem anymore. A few years later my front passenger switch went out again. Then not too long after my drivers side window switch started acting up. Sometimes I can't unroll my window. I fear if I roll it down I won't be able to roll it back up. Other than that the car does need some updating. For instance the radio is not Bluetooth and comes with an iPod attachment which nobody uses anymore. Though the car has its flaws it is a comfortable reliable car. My Nissan runs good and as any other car if you take care of it the right way it will stay in good shape. I will continue driving my car until the wheels fall off.

Ruby C on March 20, 2021

It looks beautiful and you just need to take care of it.

There are really no problems with the car. The car runs good. I would say that the only thing is that it does go through oil really fast. The car is good. We drive it around all the time. It does not have bad seats. The seats are comfortable and nice. The inside is beautiful.

Stephanie S on March 19, 2021

Big trunk space for me . Also The car is Easy on gas

I had problems with my wheels when I first got the car I now have problem with my muffler also with the engine

Liv V on March 18, 2021

I honestly have no clue, but slightly older cars can be just as good as this year's cars and buying brand new cars is a waste of money!!

I really like Nissan as a brand and think its a pretty car even though it's not super new. However it is kind of plain (its gray) but I don't really dislike anything else about it, it could be nicer/newer but i don't really care about that

Ali J on March 17, 2021

Reliable. Dependable. Great on gas.

Love the fuel mileage. Handles easy. Reliable. Comfortable. Would like to have Bluetooth or satellite radio.

Evelyn B on March 16, 2021

The good & the bad with my 2010 Nissan Sentra.

I love how economic my Nissan Sentra is as far as gas & oil changes definitely light in the wallet but the safety end of it I am not too happy with for instance on windy days driving in the highway does not feel too safe I literally have to hold the steering wheel with two hands very tight to keep it stable and even then it’ll at times sway from side to side and this is not on extremely windy days I am talking about a rainy windy day stability just is not there also once you reach 65/70 mph it starts pulling as if it's going to stall or shut off feels as though is struggling to push this speed I have listed both the good perks as well as the bad for inside the city driving is perfect u don't feel any mishaps but once on the highway it can be a little weary hope this helps:).

Earleen M on March 15, 2021

Reliable Beautiful Low consumption

I think acceleration is not enough It is also not easy for me to be a gentleman The control of the car really good.

Ruth A on March 11, 2021

Nissan Sentra - reliable and economical.

I like my car. I have had it for five years and it just recently started giving me problems. Nothing too major that cannot be fixed though. I feel pretty safe in the car and I would definitely say it is a reliable car. Feels sturdy and I would say it is been the best car I have driven thus far. I like Nissan I think they're a good car manufacturer.

Kristen J on March 10, 2021

It's fairly easy to drive, I think it would be a good car for most people.

It's a reliable vehicle, and pretty good on gas. I wish it was a little bigger, so I'd have more room.

Edward O on March 9, 2021

It gets good gas mileage. For a vehicle with over 100,000 miles it still runs great.

It is a very reliable vehicle. I've had very few issues with it.

Destiny C on March 7, 2021

My little blue car gets me where I need in a timely manner without any problems.

My car has over 170,000 miles on it and it runs like any other. The only problem I have with it is that there is a noise when you drive it. The noise is harmless it is just there. I have blocked it out because I have been driving it for a while now. My vehicle is very reliable. I keep it up with the maintenance whenever it needs. It has Bluetooth, but you need an aux cord with it when it comes time for listening to music through your car.

Horace C on March 5, 2021

One of the most reliable vehicles I have ever owned

Milage is great. Runs smooth. Looks good. Very reliable. A comfortable vehicle to ride in. Haven't really had any problems. Good investment.

Candice C on March 3, 2021

It is reliable, fuel efficient, easy to operate, good quality and decent price.

I have owned my Nissan Sentra for 8 years now. I find it to be a very functional vehicle for the money. It also has a somewhat luxury feel for the money as well. The materials used are good quality and have held very well over time. Mine has a tan interior and there has been very little fading of the console or fabric. It is also very easy to shampoo and clean. With regards to mechanical issues I have had no issues a all aside from general maintenance. Such as replacing spark plugs. Additionally the brake pads and tires that came standard with the vehicle held up well beyond their standard life and were good quality. I use this vehicle as my daily driver and it has a bit over 100, 000 miles on it. The paint also has held up well especially considering I don't wash it on a regular basis and have only recently started waxing it. The only parts that have shown wear is the door handles. Inside the only thing that has started to show signs of disrepair is the headliner, at the rear it has started to peel down and will need to be glued backup. All and all I have no complaints and this vehicle has held up exceptionally well with very little maintenance and upkeep.

Linda G on February 26, 2021

This car gets very good gas mileage is easy to park.

This car is very reliable will seat 4 people and is very economical to drive. It is also very comfortable and I like this car very much the only thing I do not like is there's not a whole lot of get-up-and-go. I do not need to get on the freeway so that is not a big deal for me I most to drive locally and it is perfect.

Jessica H on February 24, 2021

Cheap interior, items broke off within the first year

About 3 months after getting my vehicle (brand new) there was a serious issue with the motor and it had to be replaced. Not long after I my glove box came unhinged just from opening it, the sun visor from the passenger side just popped off somehow, my steering has been chipping or peeling for a while now. The performance of the car is good, drives smooth. I have never had an issue where this car breaks down so I would say it is reliable. For me this car is comfortable, simplistic but I cannot say I would choose Nissan again.

Briana S on February 24, 2021

Overall a great car except for the air conditioning system

My biggest complaint is the air conditioning system. I live in Arizona where air conditioning is critical. However, the light blower and limited temperature control leaves me driving around in an oven

Chelsea H on February 23, 2021

My car is perfect and I wouldn’t drive anything other than a Nissan.

My vehicle is very reliable and good on gas. I have had my car for nearly 2 years and have never had any major problems with it. I never been big on keeping up with cars so any problems I may face most likely is my fault. It is very small which makes it extremely easy to drive and fit into small places.

Jessica R on February 17, 2021

Her name is Petunia and she's the best car I've ever had

I like this car because I feel that it is safe and I like the looks of it

Henry C on February 10, 2021

Great first car - would buy again.

The tire pressure light stays on even when all the tires are full, but other than that the vehicle drives great and is wonderful on gas when driven responsibly. This was my first vehicle, and I would definitely buy it again knowing what I know now. Overall: 10/10.

Rola C on February 8, 2021

Nissan sentra 2010 my favorite car

My 2010 Nissan sentra is still working good, I always do oil change whenever it needed, I replaced tires and some minor parts, so far I never had a major problem with my car, I like the features of my nissan it's just suit my needs

Michelle E on February 4, 2021

Easy to drive.. Fun to drive.

Easy to drive.. Makes turns well.. Good gas mileage.. No problems.. Does not have quick pick up when entering highway.

Thomas R on February 2, 2021

Good on gas. Fair on price easier on the wallet great value great but overall.

I love my Nissan sentra because it is good on gas and the perfect size for my two small children me and my husband. It has two modes echo and sport. Along with a great stereo system. I think this is a great car for the value especially if you have a small family.

Yvonne F on January 31, 2021

It is got brake issues, but that may be just mine, and also the wiring may split.

I enjoy driving my vehicle because it is dependable and reliable. It gets good gas mileage. Is a comfortable ride.

Alicia E on January 30, 2021

Great Nissan sentra reliability and performance.

My car is great in that it rarely has any problems. It just needs basic maintenance. It is very reliable. I have had it for a long time and driven it on long trips without any issues. The Nissan sentra is small so it is not very comfortable. I have very basic features on my car. A car with more advanced features like heated seats would be best for winters.

erin p on January 29, 2021

Its a silver average car.

Has a radio,cd player, electric windows,and is pretty spacious. Problems i had were only minor. It's good on gas

Ian W on January 27, 2021

Great gas mileage also reliable.

I gets great gas miles and is very reliable. Took me across the country with no problem. It helps me get back and forth from college. It does burn oil and I have a hard time finding the right parts for it when it breaks down. Other than that it is a great car.

Nieni B on January 23, 2021

Nissan all you need all you want.

I really do not have any complaints about my vehicle it is great on gas great on miles just absolutely perfect. The brakes are sharp. Great for all seasons. Very awesome tires. Gives a really safe feeling. My entire family loves theirs car. My son will love for me to pass it down when he get older.

Car not made for the streets.

I have only had the car for about a year and I have already had to take it to a shop to fix a metal plate up under the car, and now my ball joints are messed up, and I have an extended warranty but it only covers certain things which makes thing very upsetting.

Very reliable! I definitely love my car.

My car is very reliable. The leather seats are a plus because I hate getting in a car after it rains with cushion seats. It has good trunk space, seat warmers and it is small enough to find a park almost anywhere. It is also big enough that I do not feel cramped and my husband who is a big guy feels comfortable driving it when he does not feel like pulling out his truck.

The car that's still alive after going through a lot

When I first purchased my Sentra I really wasn't sure about it. I think I was like this because I felt like it was a smaller car and I wasn't used to that. I have grown to love the car though! Very comfortable and very reliable. I have had this car for over a year now and I have never had one problem with it. Has over 100,000 miles on it and I have yet to have an issue occur. It's surprising because I don't take that good care of it when it comes to oil, and the mechanical things lol. Very reliable car. Has taken me to and from the beach multiple times and I will always have reliability with this car.

It's a good vehicle if you do not travel too much. Its dependable vehicle.

The parts of it are expensive. Most work has to be done by dealership and gets expensive there is constant sound of wind when you drive even when windows and doors are closed properly. Other than that the car is good for mileage. Just wish the parts were not too expensive.

Nissan is amazing. These cars are built to last.

It gets great gas mileage. It runs smoothly with no mechanical issues. It is roomie and very spacious trunk. Only issue I have with it is the suspension is tight and you feel many bumps in the road. It is very basic model and wished it had Bluetooth in it but this car is extremely reliable and have had to do very little maintenance on it. Love this car and would definitely buy another one.

A review of my 2010 Nissan Sentra.

I have not had any problems with my vehicle. It has been reliable and it is performance is good, given that the necessary maintenance is completed as it arises. My car is comfortable and easily fits 4-5 people as needed. My engine runs well and all car components have held up well despite its age.

My vehicle gets me to and from where I need to go with no hassle.

The eco mode is the best addition and wonderful for gas mileage. The car is small but the trunk space is more than enough. Bluetooth features, and USB port. Sport mode is also a great feature, the car has a beautiful overall appearance, and is by far one of the best purchases I've ever made.

Great on gas and affordable.

My vehicle is very economical. It is great on gas and rarely breaks down. I use it for work and errands and trips too. I haven't had any mechanical issues with it except when I take it for oil change. It accommodates me and my little one perfectly so, it is a great family car. The parts are also quite affordable.

It gets good gas mileage. It also handles fairly well.

It's a good car. Plenty of seating room and it gets good gas mileage.

Comfortable and reliable!

The vehicle is small and reliable. It is fuel efficient and can run many miles with good maintenance. It does not have a lot of features such as touch screen radios or Bluetooth. It also had a few issues with the transmission but with proper maintenance this car can last you a while.

Loads of room in entire car and truck, drives smooth, economical

Big runk, room, ease of handling, size, good looking

My vehicle has had very few mechanical problems. I get good gas mileage. I will get a few more options with my next car.

Dependable and comfortable at an affordable price.
