Awesome first car for our daughters

Bought this for our twin 17 year old daughters. They love it, and so do we! Perfect first car for them. Great gas mileage, roomy, and super cute!

It gave me a few major problems but overall good

This car is good for a student and someone who wants to get from point a to b without going a far distance. Reliable and good buy for the money

125k miles, absolutely no issues

I love my Sentra. It is going to be my teenage son's car now and I am nervous to pick a new car for fear that it will not be as good as this little gem. 125k miles, little to no maintenance, no issues whatsoever. Super reliable and about 30 mpg. My sister has an older one with 180k miles which also still runs great with no repairs.

First car and so far so good.

This car has made plenty of road trips either alone or with companions up to 4. The trips are very comfortable.

Practicality and Simplicity

I am a bit older so I am not into bells and whistles and good MPG. This car is modern, comfortable, and economical. It is a smooth ride for a lower end model vehicle.
