Reliable vehicle for everyday use.
I am primarily alone and do not transport people so having a large vehicle was never a priority when looking around for a new car. This car has been reliable and has not posed any issues for me. I do not drive long distances either and it is not a gas guzzler either.

Nissan sentra 2014 review.
This car has had no major problems with vehicle operations. The car does not maintain eco mode while on cruise control; it causes the car to jump. This car has great gas mileage especially on the highway. Car is a little bumpy, but not very noticeable.

Great car and great features.
It is a smaller car but very comfortable. In car GPS is very helpful and display screen is great to have. The Bluetooth connection to my car is great for when I get calls and want to use hands free technology. The car is great on mileage and good on gas.

Simple car that is dependable and great gas mileage.
Absolutely love my sentra. Never had a single issue. Love the gas mileage and dependability. Great for city driving due to size being compatible for parallel parking. No safety features, and would like to have those such as blind spot detection and backup camera. Quite comfortable for those in front, but due to size, backseat is not ideal for extended periods of time with adult-sized passengers.

Only one time have I had a problem with my Nissan sentra. The gears wore out and left me in an intersection I luckily still had insurance on it so I was able to take it back to the dealership and get it fix. Other than that incident I haven't gotten any problems.

Others should know that my car is very reliable and durable.
I love how my vehicle looks on the exterior and interior. However, I don't like how long it takes for it to accelerate. My favorite feature is the exterior design that makes it look sporty.

Great Nissan car fun and easy to drive will teach you how to drive.
Great car excellent mileage very fun to drive do not have to put too much gas in the gas last well at least sometimes two weeks so there’s a really good choice for someone who just starting to drive because it is a good experience on how to handle the road and also how to handle it and maintain a car.

2nd Sentra... Not our last!!
Our Nissan Sentra gets amazing gas mileage and is roomy!! With two kids and all their junk, always more than enough room! Up front the driver and passenger have lots of legroom. We use our Bluetooth to call family for hands free driving! We are on our second Sentra. Will buy a third in the future!

Transmission failure is to be expected.
Transmission failure. It is great for short small rides but the consistent transmission failure poses a problem even after getting it fixed the problem resurfaces. The seats are comfortable. Mileage is great. Very safe and smooth ride when it was new but broke down 3 years after purchase. Hand free device makes listening and answering calls easy. Lack of music audio via Bluetooth. It is spacious in the back lots of trunk room. About to fit a 9 ft ladder with back seats down.

My car is a 2014 Nissan. It was good when it lasted but took a dump 2 years ago.
It is a 2014 Nissan sentra that died out on me two years ago. Sucks that I have it wasting away in my garage. My friends dad looked at it and said there was very low compression, whatever that means (obviously I am no mechanic). Before that though the car seemed like it was running fine.

The 2014 Nissan Sentra is very compact with a loud engine.
The engine is very loud and noisy. I keep having issues under my car with the radiator. The car is small. If you have children you would need a bigger car. There is not enough room in the front of the car and did I forget to mention it's not the fastest car. I think it is horrible on gas.

Transmission mission trouble for a Nissan
I bout the car from a used car dealership in Stockton and didn't no the transmission had been recalled. Nissan won't fix it because it's over the mileage that they require, it still drives but the transmission is grinding and legs and bumps when its switching from gear to gear
accountCircle Tim
CVT transmission died at less than 60K
At just 2 months past 5 year warranty and less than 60K mileage, the transmission broke. Nissan refused to provide even a small discount on the transmission part, and said there was nothing they could do. Don't buy a Nissan with CVT. Never seen a car with a transmission that broke at less than 60K
accountCircle Ken Currie
Transmissions are terrible!
Nissan transmissions are notoriously poor. A replacement transmission by a Nissan dealer is not only costly but they only warranty it for 12,000 miles or one year. All other transmission shops I called have a standard 2 yr warranty EXCEPT for Nissans. They will also only warranty Nissan transmissions for 1 yr. That tells you how much confidence both Nissan and the automotive industry have toward these inferior transmissions. There have also been class action lawsuits filed against Nissan for their transmissions which are not limited to the Sentras. All Nisssn transmissions are flawed. Nissan settled the class action suit by offering a discount on your next Nissan and some limited lame transmission warranty extention with lots of strings attached. A recall of these transmissions is what was needed. The lawyer and Nissan corp did a great job screwing over the customer on that one. In summary: Nissans use to be a good value, but avoid them now. Do your own transmission research on Nissan before purchasing and Im sure you will then look elsewhere.

What Problems Does the 2014 Nissan Sentra Have?

The 2014 Nissan Sentra has fewer problems than the 2013 model, but more than newer models. It has more owner complaints than other compact cars in the same price range.

Engine problems, including difficulty accelerating, are brought up by owners as well. There are reports of sensor failures which will need to be replaced. If you have engine issues, you should scan the car with an OBD-II tool.

Brake problems are also mentioned by owners, and the vehicle pulses while braking. It’s usually an issue with the master cylinder, which needs to be replaced to get it working properly again.

There are 5 recalls affecting the 2014 Nissan Sentra, better than average for a car its age. Recalls include the airbags, and a seat belt bracket. All are safety-related and important to address to protect the driver and passengers.

In first place is the Volkswagen Eos, which is a more expensive car than the Nissan. The Eos is a compact convertible, and is sportier and more reliable than the Sentra. The Nissan has better technology available. Overall, the Eos is targeted at a different buyer, and is a better car than the Sentra.

A close competitor is the Honda Civic, which is slightly more expensive than the Nissan. Technology, reliability, and performance are better in the Civic.

I enjoy the moment of the sports gear allowing faster acceleration.
Overall the car functions well. Living in Utah causes issues with weather changes, road speeds, and construction. The most consistent problem are the brakes. They are often in need of replacement or fixing. Squealing and delay in braking comes with the system not being of a higher quality. It is understood that it also could be caused by other variables than the car itself.

Nissan sentra review (good).
Comfortable. No real problems, other than the fact that the tire pressure light comes on every morning (especially in crisp air) when none of my tires need air. The heat/air conditioning begin working which is good for both hot or cold weather. The car drives smoothly for the most part. I will say, others who drive my car say that the gas and brake pedals are touchy, but that is something which takes getting used to. Very good car overall & also practical and safe for new drivers.

Good first car to have, and does well in winter conditions.
I have had this car for about a year and a half and I have not had any major problems so far. It is great on gas mileage and is a perfect size. I have heard that Nissan Sentras can have issues when they reach a certain mileage. I got mine at only 30k miles and I believe it will last me until well over 100k. I believe it is a great first car to have, given that it was my first car after getting my license. I have also not had to put too much money into repairs so far.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a car with plenty of legroom.
I really enjoy my 2014 Nissan Sentra. I have owned this car for just under two years and have not had any major issues with it so far. I do quite a bit of driving for work and this car gets good gas mileage. I highly recommend it for anyone that does a fair amount of driving but and does not want to spend too much on gas. The 2014 Nissan Sentra also has a shocking amount of legroom in the back seats. It is a great car to use for road trips because there is plenty of room to spread out and make yourself comfortable. I am also very pleased with the amount of space there is in the trunk. I have taken this car on 8+ hour road trips and have had room to pack as much luggage as I want. You can also fit bikes in the back with a little maneuvering because the back seats fold down and open up into the trunk. My only real complaint so far is that sometimes the fuel tank gauge is a little screwy. It has a digital reading of how many more miles you can drive with the amount of gas left in the tank. The digital read of the fuel gauge seems to jump up and down by about ten miles give or take seemingly at random. When the low fuel warning turns on, the digital read will drop from 30 miles down to zero in a matter of minutes, which makes it hard to tell exactly how much further I can go before stopping for gas.

My vehicle performs well and is really fuel efficient. It has no problem picking up speed and sometimes I will notice even though I didn't think I'm going that fast, turns out that I am! It only takes around $25 where I live to fill my tank completely up, and I can run off of that one tank of gas for about a week or so, and that is constant running back and forth! The interior of the vehicle is nice and it calculates your mileage on a small digital screen.

My vehicle is a great vehicle the only issue and frustrating thing about it is how long it takes to go from stop to driving aging.

My 2014 Nissan sentra has been very reliable to me, spacious interior as well as a large trunk. Led headlights come in handy at night, along with long lasting battery life.

This car is super small but great for the price!
This car is extremely reliable however it is very small. Thought for its size the trunk of the car is huge! Perfect family car or a car for a college student. If it does break down or get a flat tire the parts a relatively cheap and it is pretty easy to repair. We have had problems with our a/c in the past and it is been a pretty easy fix. I also think living in Florida that it may have had something to do with the a/c breaking. I also recommend not getting it in a dark color with dark interior if you live in the south. It gets extremely hot all year round.

Overall Reliable but has its Issues
It's reliable but I am afraid there may be transmission issues with respect the car. It makes me nervous but it is my main vehicle I have to use. The inside is nice and comfortable and spacious. I like the air conditioner is very strong. The radio speakers in the doors also has trouble.

I love and have enjoyed my car since it has been purchased. Highly recommend Nissan.
I have loved my car since day one. The outside looks nice and presentable. The inside is comfortable and has a nice interior as well. The only problem I've had with my vehicle was having my transmission go out.

An interesting detail about the car is that you can control the radio.
I love how well my car handles on the road. The interior is very clean and comfortable. The heater kicks on almost automatically and the air gets really cold in the summer time. Overall I would say that the Nissan sentra is a great car for anyone to buy.

A smooth ride that is great for road trips.
I really love my Nissan sentra! It is comfortable and very reliable. The features are wonderful- map/directions, Bluetooth connection, radio controls on the steering wheel & an easy to use touch screen. If there is an issue or problem, the car alerts me with a symbol on the dashboard.

The interior is amazing. The car handles wonderfully.
I love my sentra. Everything about it. I love how it handles. The leg room in the front and back seats. The trunk is incredible. The interior is not cheap and plastic feeling. It is very nice. Like a more expensive vehicle. I only one problem. It has a bad transmission. I did not know that Sentras gave reputation for their transmissions not lasting.

Small put sporty Nissan sentra.
It is a small but roomy car. The outside is slick in sporty, the inside is average size will fit 5 midsize people very comfortably. It handles well in rain and has good traction in the snow. It a 4 cylinder engine it's small it does not have much power it takes a while to get moving. It is comfortable for long trips. I love the driver seat, it adjust forward backwards and up and down. My daughter is short, and it made it easier for her to see over the steering wheel, and reach the pedals. For a small midsize car it is practical. And fun to drive.
