- 2020 Nissan Sentra SR Review by The Straight Pipes. The Nissan Sentra SR is pumping out 149hp and 145 lb-ft tq from a 2L 4 cylinder engine. Sitting at $24,498 CAD, would this be your pick over the Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra?

ok
The only 2 people who could actually make me watch a Sentra review and actually like it ( not the car the straight pipes crew ) the car sucks no disrespect to anyone who has one
Pretty sure 2 are off the Nissan press vehicle approved channels now
I will only buy German or British cars, but you guys are the only reason why I watched the whole video. This is way too slow for my taste, and I don't trust any car that's not AWD/4WD.
@@snakeeyes9246 As a German I am telling you not to ignore Japanese or Korean cars ...
I'm sure they're not as fun for yall, but I love the 'practical daily driver' reviews.
I don’t mind not fun to drive, it’s just hard to do too many affordable cars because the youtube revenue isn’t as good because the views aren’t as good. UNLESS we review it right when they come out :-)
TheStraightPipes Another daily driver I would like to see is the Chevy Malibu
@@davidlockhart663 I got a malibu. Love it , although wish I had spent the extra 3 grand for the 2.0 turbo.
They definitely need to review the Chevy spark and Nissan versa 🤣
@@TheStraightPipes I'll say it time and time again... how does one care about the 20 different iterations of a Porsche 911 in one model year or a Ferrari 458 vs. 459?
I actually like how this car looks for the price... after that its all downhill LMAO
It's a Sentra. What are it's competitors
It's funny you say downhill.. it's faster on it.
@@treevs better
@@treevs Mazda 3, Toyota Corolla & Hyundai Elantra. Better cars
@@kevina2052 lmao facts
Nissan: exists
Everyone: splash, splash, your CVT is trash.
I mean.... it’s technically tr-
That's because it is trash!
its do do butter
@@Mike.3GS its shit spread
trash itself has more value
This just makes the civic and corolla look amazing. Better engines, more power, better transmissions, suspensions, reliability, etc.
Guess we all agree nissan is a failling company
@2WIREG Mazda 3 is mediocre at best.......it's as slow as the Sentra with worse fuel economy than the Civic or Corolla toping out at 27/35 vs 31/41 on the Corolla. And the Mazda is way more expensive option for option. Also the Civic has waaaay more space.
Honestly this "looks" like a more expensive car than the civic and the corolla on the inside aswell (civic 1.5 turbo owner) but its definitely worse in terms of everything else
Daniel G Mediocre? It’s definitely miles ahead in terms of exterior and interior design/quality, no argument there.. and it’s not far from reliability from those cars as well
@@singular9 That's what you think. But I think that the Mazda 3 is probably the overall better looking car in its class. It may not be as practical as the Civic or Corolla, but each to their own. Compared to the Sentra though, there's just no comparison at all.
Oh, did I mention that unlike the Sentra, Corolla and Civic, the Mazda stuck with a traditional automatic transmission?
It may not be a car for everyone, but I think it has its merits. Nowhere near as "mediocre".
I have this exact car and yes, it’s definitely not fast but it’s not as bad as they make it out to be. No problems merging what so ever. This car rides amazing and completely exceeded my expectations. Not to mention it’s the best looking car in its class. Very happy I picked it up
Good choice. I had a 2010 Altima 2.5S for nearly 10 years and enjoyed driving every minute of it. I have driven the Sentra in Canada. The new model is so much better and will give be competitive.
*To be honest, this looks better then the Altima!!* 👍
Ong
Me too. I LOVE this car
True
This looks better than an Altima but Altima is faster
Altima looks way better
It looks so much better than the outgoing model. I drove a 2019 sentra from a rental company and it was painfully sluggish. I don't expect it to be fast, but the sheer lack of any response when you stab the gas is very disconcerting when you need some passing power. My 30-year-old Miata is down 35 hp on the Sentra and it feels WAY faster off the line and up to 70mph. Hell, even my mom's dearly departed 2015 CVT Honda Fit was so much more responsive.
Fit is the best compact car for under 20k.
The Miata is a lighter car than the Sentra, you should remember power to weight ratio exists. The Miata being lighter would make the car faster and more fun to drive.
@@TheRailShooter It's not so much about the weight. It's how it reacts when you apply the throttle. The Miata FEELS fast when you hit the gas because there's no delay or unpredictable behavior, which is expected with a mechanical throttle linkage (and it has short gearing). It's not because it's actually fast. You can do a lot to improve a car's driving experience with just good tuning.
A more apples-to-apples comparison would be my brothers 2016 2.0L automatic Mazda 3. It downshifts quickly and throttle response is good. The Nissan feels like it has a decent engine but it's completely nerfed with a crappy CVT and horrible throttle tuning. I know Nissan can do better.
@@dil6969 The electronic throttle really has very little bearing on the throttle response (at least on tip-in). Throttle-by-wire is more an issue with lifting the throttle to shift (in a manual transmission car) than it does on tip-in. The delay here stems mostly from the fact that cars do not equip CVTs for performance reasons. The CVT exists to keep the engine where it is most efficient, so when you stab the throttle and want to "move now" the CVT pulleys need to change position to move engine rpm where there is more performance. It takes time for them to change gear ratio, as opposed to a sporting car with fixed gear ratios (be it a manual or automatic) where response is immediate, because engine rpm is directly coupled to road speed in fixed, discrete gear ratios (although with an automatic there may be a downshift delay too).
There is no such thing more responsive than a manual transmission vehicle with a naturally aspirated engine. My 2008 Spec V is responsive, but also throttle-by-wire, and manual.
shadowboy813 Not exactly true. Nissans tune them now so you can have the CVT run in “performance” or “regular” mode. They literally shift like a traditional automatic depending on how much gas you give it.
Some say Jakub is still flooring it
😂
Still trying to get to 60
@@TheStraightPipes this car is like my grandmas old Honda Civic. She couldn’t pass anyone in it.
I bought mine 5 weeks ago for $16,281 out the door. I only have 128 miles on it lol. I love it.
2020 model in US dollars?
I'll be worth 8K in a year or two,,,
Gilbert Galvan yup 2020 in US.
tom11zz884 I’m sure it will but I don’t care about how much things are worth. As long as I like it that’s all that matters. If an care less what other people think. If you think that way..you’ll get yourself into trouble or wind up a republican or something :)
@@ronaldaiello6450 Wow that's a good deal. Which model did you end up getting? I see Nissan is having a hard time selling these cars. I do wonder if the newer JATCO CVT has the issues fixed.
I just bought this car a week ago and I love it! I’ve owned many cars in my short life, and have had anything from a Honda Accord, to a Camaro SS. I watched this video before I bought it and was very skeptical until I drove it. It really doesn’t feel that slow, if you’re not trying to punch it. You don’t buy this car for performance, it’s affordable and good on gas! For $22,000 new, it’s a great car to consider!
How is the transmission holding up now because I’m supposed to pick mine up on Tuesday
@@scentualobsessions I didn’t have the car long enough to find out. The automatic braking system kept activating randomly so it became a safety hazard, and I traded it in right at a year.
@@Kingme2015 damn that’s unfortunate, so what did you end up getting when you traded it in what kind of car and did they give you a good trade in value?
@@scentualobsessions I traded it for an 18 Accord and they gave me pretty close to what I paid for it due to the used car prices going up.
@@Kingme2015 nice, I just bought one the other day before knowing about the transmission and sign and gave the down payment but they have to put some tires and brakes on it and I told them since it’s at 31,000 miles to change the transmission fluid because it is recommended and my payments are outrageous but that included everything sales tax only $500 down payment out the door and in Florida $23000 but out the door $27k which includes the fees Florida’s ridiculous registration and dealer fees and all that bullshit but my payments are going to be $577 a month for six years. I do plan on increasing my business and if that happens, I can pay the car off within a few months.
Yaayy any car in the straight pipes videos isn’t purely ordinary!!!!
i have the nissan kicks SR and lemme tell u im merging onto the highway more than desperately....."sport" mode seems to turn it into a regular vehicle
You must not be putting the throttle down? I can easily get to 80+ and over 100 on the freeway with no issues at all
And yet I can merge in my little 09 Nissan Versa with 114 hp no problem.
@@StarForgedTCG this!!
@@Wasssup3232 i can floor it with no response for a good 2 seconds between 40-80. im just used to my previous car i guess!
4cyl 1.6, it's going to be slow lol. My pathfinder 6cyl 3.5 gets up to speed in a hurry.
I appreciate the "normal" car review. Just not THIS normal car. What a snoozer. Man, Nissan has completely lost the plot. RIP Nissan.
They never really have the plot ever for their "normal" lineup? Especially after the Nissan Renault thing.
Agree with Nissan heading down the gutter, but I never really understood why people hate the new Sentra so much... Driven most in the segment and if anything, the top-selling Corolla is way more of a snoozer, right?
@@tlf361 its cause the transmission would shit itself with normal driving unless it was a manual
Nisaan has indeed lost their plot
I drove a friends r32 skyline gtst the other day and ya idk where they went wrong over the last 20 or so years.
For an economy car it looks really nice, even the interior looks great; but the drivetrain is a miss.
It was nice driving in a such a commuter car. Especially when you’re always driving too fast in really fast cars haha
@@TheStraightPipes that's why it's weird when you guys laugh when accelerating in a regular car that most people will consider.. most people won't buy (and just don't need) the fast cars you guys drive every week or own
@@whetsaw watch our civic vs Corolla review
@@TheStraightPipes should have been electric or hybrid in stead of cvt?
Hi guys , i do appreciate you guys have been doing affordable cars. It is reality for many of us. Nissan looks has improved i 'd say. Though I am not a big fan of Nissan, i think i might prefer it over the Corolla.
This car is a turbo engine and 6MT away from being a very serious contender in the segment.
I remember when Nissan was cool. I want them to make a comeback.
I just bought a car in this class. I was considering Sentra and really liked it, but the crappy CVT was a deal breaker. So I got a Mazda 3
There is lot of NISSAN bashing in the comments section primarily due to JATCO CVT transmission. I owned a 2010 (July) Altima with CVT and sold it in 2019 Sept (as I left the county I was living). Never had an issue with transmission. The only time it broke down was when there a fault in the steering lock system (electronic bug). Other than that it was just periodical servicing, tire and battery replacements. Did slightly more than 170,000 kms by the time I sold it. Really enjoyed driving the car.
Damn y'all brought back some of my childhood memories, my dad used to own a Sentra SER Spec V in this exact color, I did not expect to see one today 😂

My first car was a 95 sentra. Cost 4000 dollars. It was the shittiest car ever but i appreciate it because it made me into a car repair expert.
Now i drive a Kia, also bought used, but really really good.
I just got my first kia and got to admit it must be the best car and car brand out there right now
Nick S. What Kia are you driving? I would honestly agree the new Kia lineup is probably the best lineup available right now. Especially with the huge 2021 Sorento update coming soon.
I Like Facts i got a 2017 kia optima its has all the features i could ask for and its so good on gas...but i miss drving stick for i might go for a 370z after im done paying for tthe kia
When I saw the new redesign of it I actually really liked it.
Hilariously, I still have my ‘04 Sentra. This new model is like a spaceship to me...so many bells and whistles.
The New Sentra is like the good looking girl in school who has good looks, but no substance or quality.
That crappy CVT ruins the cars...
Just like a Corolla, civic, forte and Elantra
@@anemite2 forte and elantra don’t have a cvt
@@Ty-vq1jy yes they have, kia/hyndai call them IVT but is the exact same thing
@@anemite2 the ivt uses chains though..
I just passed my G2 drivers test in this car, and I'm pretty sure the slow acceleration actually helped me seem like a smoother driver. XD
Big fan on the channel! ONT REPRESENT!
Definitely more attractive then the previous body styles.. I look forward to test driving this in a few weeks! Great review guys!
Let's all take a moment and appreciate how far compact sedans have come in the looks department.
Older are better than this garbage vehicle. Trust me it's best to stick with those or say bye bye to your savings. Trashy trash cvt...
@@-haltheo-7292 Not true .....they have improved...mine lasted for 10 years and 170,000 kms before I sold it.
Sentra infotainment screen: weird flex but ok
Welcome to the land of class action lawsuits
We have a cirlce
I remember test driving a Sentra a few years ago for a friend who's looking for a cheap car to buy, and I remembered I told her that I would not recommend... she bought it anyway which I wonder why she asked for my opinion in the first place.
I'm sure she is very happy with it
When people ask for opinions like that they’re just happy to tell somebody about the thing, they don’t really care lol
She wanted your validation, not your opinion.
Women don't care about anyone's opinion, but they always ask for it. Walking contradictions.
This is a good lesson for when you get married. As others have said, she didn't want your opinion, she just wanted you to tell her she's right about a decision she's already made lol.
I remember having a 1998 200sx (2 door Sentra) back in college, it was slow but took a beating like no other car I've ever had
I really like how this new sentra looks, now give us a SER model with a 6MT and im definitely buying one!
Why? Get a civic, golf, or mazda3
Affinity in in the market for an elantra sport or gli. Just saying if nissan had a performance option id go for that instead
Man yall upload early af. Sittin here at like 6am "oh, Straight Pipes uploaded a video of a POS Nissan? Guess I'm watching it then."
LMAO
It looks great, superb safety and tech , good gas mileage. I've driven one and the new suspension tuning makes a world of difference. Obviously not for someone who wants to accelerate fast. I think for the price this will appeal to the masses.
These daily drivers are very impactful and important to people who have a smaller budget. While the cars aren't exciting, these videos really are.
I enjoy the combination of videos of cars that I will probably be driving at some point in my life and the cars that are cost more than what I make in a year.
TSP: Its slow!
Me: Come to India, This will feel like a M5 on our roads😂😂
India where maruti zen is a fast car
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol true but people drive like F1 drivers zooming down the highway
Can you people afford it? Y'all could barely afford an iPhone.
@@PhyuckYew Well just because an iPhone 11 pro max cost twice as much here and so would this car if it ever come to India
"Let me sing you the song of my people!" ......... silence.........
Really enjoy the affordable car reviews! Can't wait for your $5,000 car challenge car reviews!
I think this is the best looking entry in its class, new Elantra included.
Enjoyed your video as usual.
I bought one, it’s safe and reliable, but definitely trading it in when I finish college😂
I think it looks better than the competition. Outside and the inside too.
CubanBeast It’s like putting lipstick on a pig. Or don’t judge a book by its cover. The CVT’s in Nissan’s are garbage.
@@fivespeed3026 not anymore
This is the first video of you guys I’ve watched. I loved it! I Subscribed!
omg i was waiting for this for so longggg
Just so you guys stay humble more "cheap" cars.
They should do a base model versa, which is more fun than the sentra
Yes, would like to see more affordable cars. Exotics and muscle cars are cool but not everyone will own one
@@ribbonroach5023 A base Versa is more fun than a Sentra? A BASE bone to the barrow Versa...just interesting.

@@jraheemjefcoat429 got a 5 speed manual transmission no bells and whistles, and 3 paddles to replace launch control, and an open diff to do 1 wheele peels around all day
people don't like Nissan's CVT, which is not good (others do better). That said for someone looking for a good looking commuter, Nissan is definitely worth a consider. I daily a 2017 Altima, there is no fun to drive factor, but for a comfortable daily drive to and from work it is amazing.
Watching them pull away at the launch was so funny. I was like “huh I thought they’d be moving out of frame a bit faster...”
Finally guys a normal car review! Aside the looks, which I think are pretty decent, that CVT and everything else (always at best a half-generation behind) just continue to destroy Nissan. The only thing they have left in terms of being bulletproof is the Frontier - don't screw it up! I have a '15 Xterra Pro-4x... love my little tank :)
This ain't even a Nissan anymore, Renault went in and massacred my boy
Nissan chassis, Nissan engine/trans, Nissan design. How exactly is this a Renault?
@@JTube571 Renault philosophy
@@kylow3004 Not at all.
@@JTube571 poor quality. Have a 2015,transmission,A/C and the radio(yes the damn radio) went out. Rear door rubber seals came off and one roof seal came off. My 1991 lasted 15 years and 350,000 miles.
I really like the new Sentra, but I’d go with a corolla 😂
especially the xse hatchback
Mario S. Nissan CVTs from 06-11 were junk. In 2012 they improved then in 2017 they became more reliable then Honda cvts, the new ones aren’t bad anymore
@@dawson.strachan03 How do you know a 3 year old transmission from a manufacturer with a bad reputation is suddenly "more reliable" than one with a proven track record? Give it a couple more years, doubt the Jatco transmissions are any better. There's a reason why Sentra resale values after just a couple years old are STILL low.
Edit: Then again, it probably helps that the Sentra only makes 149 HP. The Civic's CVT has to handle 158 HP or 174 HP depending on your engine choice.
@Mario S. I'm sure that the base model with the manual would be pretty nice. 149 hp is plenty for a small sedan. Nissan cars tend to be cheaper than Toyotas, Hondas and Kias as well.
Corrolla has cvt
As a daily driver/commuter car, it looks nice. You guys stated it is comfortable. Way to go Nissan.
awsm video guys ur videos never dissapoint
I love this car, looks good, nice interiors, decent space, suspension, handling, price, features. Half of the people calling it crap don't even have a car
Until the transmission fails
Yes. We all have cars and maybe know someone with a junky Sentra or Altima with a filling cvt
Um...it's crap. Not terrible, but compared to its competition, crap.
Great review...and as a family man..this suits me...im not driving fast amg or M cars and floor it anytime with my 2 yr old son is in the backseat..
I had a 2015 Sentra totaled it on the freeway spun out of control. After that happened I realized those tires are smaller than a average car. Have a Toyota carolla now and its amazing. Fast , smooth quality on interior.
Don't know why but this pointless revving makes me laugh :)
I own a 2020 Nissan Sentra and to me the power is just adequate enough for commuting to work and in cases i would really need in rush I used the Sport mode to swift my way pass some slower cars. The car handles great, I feel comfy inside, good suspension, mpg's are ok I get 32-33 average.
However if y'all likes to race on the highway I think Honda with turbos is a good one 🤠
that looks amazing!
I like it when you guys review "normal cars" for us "normal" people 😀
I will never get over how in sync the door closes at the beginning of the videos are.
I have one as a rental at the moment. Really, it is a darn good car for the money if it holds up. Handling is fine, seats are good, I really find the weight of the steering to be quite good. I was lucky I didn't get a speeding ticket on the highway, as I kept seeing I was getting up to 80 MPH. I daily a new BRZ, and kinda enjoy driving this Econobox.
Its funny cause I just looked it up and that car is about as fast as my 89 Cadillac Deville XD
This would probably be WAY better with a manual. My first new car was a 2001 Mazda Protege- 130bhp and 135lbs/ft of torque. It replaced a 1990 Taurus SHO- 220bhp and 200lbs/ft. While the Mazda was definitely slow it was a blast to row thru the gears and the responsiveness of a manual helped me to keep up with faster, automatic equipped cars.
Nice work Jakub and Yuri keep it up. Love from India.
I have a 2014 Sentra SV. I like how comfy and spacious it is, plus decent mileage. I drive pretty mixed, and have 35mpg average.
But I hate the CVT despite how smooth and fuel efficient it is. Because it's unreliable. Mine got replace at 48k miles. This new one has me worried too, and it wouldn't be an issue if it was $2k, but it's 5k to replace! That's more than my car is worth at this point. Really, it's my only issue with the car. The engine is underpowered, but so far it's been reliable in that end and I think it's more due to the CVT than HP.
My father has one SV with 70k miles, 2014, no problems at all, but the CVT in my country comes from Altima, cause the engine here it's the 2.0L, not as the 1.8L from US, so it might be better.
I just got a Sentra today I wanted the Corolla but the Sentra was less $$
I just bought a 2021 Sentra and it is just fine both around town and on highway.
There is not launch control, but there is a little button for "Sport" mode in the gear shifter. It makes a "little" difference in the departure.
I had a transmission that sounded like that back in the 70s and it wasn’t a good thing. 😉
Hope you guys get a chance to review a full spec Subaru Crosstrek Sport, looks quite nice. Has a 2.5 liter this time around.
There's an art to driving these cars. Turns out flooring it makes it slower than if you went like 80% throttle. Something with the CVT governer.
It’s so weird to see you guys reviewing a normal car after all the amgs, srts and ms....videos I’ve binged🤣🤣
Try comparing the previous one and this new one....lightyears difference
For the worse?
Nicholas Tysick no

Does anyone else feel happy/pleased when a manufacturer actually does a good job? I wouldn't buy some of them myself but I really appreciate when a car does the job it was intended to very well. Ex: I wouldn't buy the honda e but I love that it exists.
I love the redesign gives the Sentra a better name
If anyone wants to own this vehicle I recommend getting the manual version. Stay away from the CVT transmission or you'll empty your pocket quickly.
I owned it and Its an Amazing Car .
Still driving my 2004 Nissan Sentra, 149000 miles on it! Represent!
Transmission type?
@@-haltheo-7292 Even CVT reliability have improved...
whole point of this car - relaxed driving without any rush.
I had to drive one of these while my car was in the shop, and the insurance company determined that an "intermediate" car was comparable to my Jetta GLI (newsflash: it's not).
When my car was ready, I was never so happy to turn in that little shitbox as I was to get out of the Sentra. After this experience, it will be a really long time before I ever think about looking at a Nissan.
My first car was an 08 base Sentra with a 6SM. I got excited when I saw the looks of this one, then saw there isn't gonna be a nismo or a turbo with a 6SM...dammit, Nissan
As somebody who's driving a 87hp Yaris on the German Autobahn, the power of this is probably adequate to merg on any highway, you just gotta floor it early enough. Between 130-180hp is like the average power of cars here i would say.
Good review & great Sentra.
This needs a manual at every trim level. Nissan if you have one just offer it. I own cars that have less horsepower but because they are manual, are more nimble, responsive and engaging to move around in. Also one needs to compare this low level entry car's features and comforts with what was offerd in this cass 15 years ago. Cars have come a long way.
TBH, I'm more inclined to go for a 4-speed auto, like the one on the 2010 Corolla. These transmissions are absolutely fine. I drive a manual everyday in Paris, and I don't see the appeal. Your average person is most likely to drive during rush hour. Driving a manual in slow 10 km/h traffic for 2 hours is just not fun.
@@user-xg6zz8qs3q Totally agree. I was not advocating manuals above all and this auto Sentra is fine to commute in. However, automatics can suck the life out of a car. Drove two 2019 Fiestas 100 hp Ecoboost, one was dead and felt super slow the other was agile, only difference was the transmission. Oh and in Paris one needs a Scooter to go trough the jam and probably die in the process ;)
@@fabianherrmann6398 I only drive in Paris because my work requires it. My company has several different work vehicles, and I'm glad I got the Renault Kangoo. I drove the older 2006 Fiesta for a while and it was lethargic AF, even with the manual. But I suppose that it was old and had engine problems (timing belt? Who knows...). I recall struggling to go up a hill.
@@user-xg6zz8qs3q My mom bought her 2006 Fiesta new and still drives it a lot, never any problems and it is manual and feels quick enough, so yeah must have been that car you had.
@@fabianherrmann6398 TBF, the car was completely neglected and has been through several car crashes. It's hilarious that my work assigned me that car. I learned how to drive a manual in that car. It gave me many mental breakdowns.
They would have made it more competitive if they turbo charged it! It definitely has great looks and would probably have been capable
To handle more power and no cvt
I still think it is a great looking car.
Ty for your review!
Great work done boys!
It may be slow, but as far as affordable cars go, it looks really really good. Is that just me? That front end is nice, would love it in all black with dark metal accents
I heard customers appreciate and sales improving
For people saying the CVT isn’t “bad”. Just remember I talk to people everyday about their cars and nissans are the only cars where I’ve consistently heard people saying they had to replace the whole transmission before 50K miles. That’s not normal that’s almost planned obsolescence
Man I’ve read that a lot!! I own an 09 Sentra CVT with almost 80k. I’ve beat the hell out of that car and it still strong. My mom has 14 Rogue with over 150k and still going strong. Maybe we got lucky or something 🤷🏽♂️
I have 2015 Altima S with 86k miles works fine. I hit it when I want to and always change my oil when needed.

@@vwpassat444 And also not break down. Nissan engines aren't that bad. It's the transmission that still needs work.
Let's not forget the new VW Jetta is in the same category, I bought a new Jetta 6 speed and it's great so far. Getting 42+ mpg highway and 34 in city. This Sentra is actually a very great car to own. Great features and great economy. Not bad Nissan! .
I just traded my SR Turbo 6MT. I liked it. It was fun to drive. The MT makes the drive more engaging. 40+ mpg highway made it a good commuter.
When you drive a car that’s responsive nI terms of power. Pushing the pedal and getting nothing in these economy cars is mind blowing. You almost feel physically weak.
Well, it's "affordable" until that CVT dies at 40k miles. Then it's not so affordable.
Looking forward to have this as my company car. I have the last Gen and it's been solid.
There's a hidden sport mode in the newer Altimas and Sentras on the gear shift. At the opposite side of the trigger theres a small unlabeled button that will put it DS mode,. DS really helps with the response on the CVT.
I thought somebody is using a vacuum at home when I heard them revving it for the first time. It's that bad.
When they sell these tin canisters ..they sell it for around 24k$ to 30k $...thats 17 lakh to 21-22 lakh ex-showroom..and considering inroad price it goes upto 19 lakh to 24-24 lakh rupees...how bizarre
