Drove both. Own an Altima. The difference is night and day. Altima rides heavier and nicer, is way quieter inside, and interior feels nicer. The price difference is evident.
Just curious, but why is it that no white people ever buy an Altima? Half the people I know all drive an Altima of one model year or another, lol! As Biden would say, "If you don't drive an Altima, you aint black."
@@BoopSnoot lmao they definitely don’t buy Altima’s lmao! It’s either Sentra or Armada they don’t buy maxima or Altima lmao! Only black women buy Altima’s no cap.
@@BoopSnoot well In all honest I’d take the Altima over the maxima for two things . Not ever guy has one or knows that Altima’s have special engineering for example the 2014-2015.5 Altima’s equipped with the 3.5 V6 engine was faster and more fuel efficient than its stable mate Maxima with the same engine also for added exclusivity the 3.5 V6 engine came equipped with shocks right from Mercedes Benz which allowed it to rival the ride and comfort and power and efficiency of say a Lexus ES sedan. So it’s really a stigma that oh he couldn’t afford the maxima that is both wrong and sad because they’re actually doing themselves a disservice by not opting for the v6 Altima . Now with the V6 being discontinued I’m the Altima I can see maybe why people opt for maxima because it’s nothing like that bellow of a good V6 but to each his own I guess the VC-turbo would allow the Altima to handle better . And with optional AWD Altima trumps Maxima in my opinion. Sorry for the rant 😅😀
I just got a Sentra SV last week, it’s a great first car as a person in my early 20s. No leatherette seats but the $20 seat covers I bought solve that problem.
Just to clarify, if you are to purchase the SV one lower trim than the SR, you can include the premium package and you CAN get leather seats, in black or a beautiful QUILTED TAN leather, which is what I purchased a few days ago and I’m in love! You also get an 8 inch touchscreen display if you purchase the premium package in the SR or SV which he didn’t mention any of this info for some odd reason... the Sentra SV with premium package is the way to go in my opinion, check it out!
Great comparison.. Still getting the Altima because of its sleek styling and the pro pilot assist. Plus the Altima has powered seats. The Sentra still looks so super sexy too .. It does have a lot of its styling cues from its bigger brothers the Maxima & Altima
@@heartgrewtinyspines not true people who drive these cars especially cars with CVT like hill Billy's tend to ruin them .. Besides no car with a CVT is suppose to be driven like a performance car .. You would never see someone driving a Rolls Royce or Bentley like a performance car .. The Nissan Altima, and Sentra are to be driven like luxury cars it's why they are family sedans .. When you hear family sedan you don associate speed with it .. Just my quota ..
Honestly speaking if i were to choose i would take the Altima bigger, better features, awd. But in terms of the design the Sentra have much better design specially at the taillights nice smooth curve in comparison to the Altima’s taillights pointy. Im not a fan of the Altima’s taillights design thats my only drawback again it
Anyone notice how all the reviews are forgetting that at the SV trim comes in all leather... I just bought mine with the all leather “peanut butter” interior with the SV trim.
I owned a Sentra 2015. I now own a 2018 Altima. Although the Sentra 2020 is compelling the Altima is a significantly bigger, more comfortable and quite a bit more powerful. Surprisingly my Altima MPG numbers are almost identical with the Sentra. I typically get 38 to 40 mpg with my Altima on the highway and 32 mpg city. My average according to the car computer is 35.2 mpg. With the Sentra the average was typically around 36.5 mpg according to the car's computer. Given how much bigger, heavier and more powerful the Altima is it's mpg is impressive and was not expecting that. I recently drove a 2019 latest generation top of the line Altima Platinum which is the model featured in this review and is a bit more comfortable than my last gen 2018. If I was looking to buy right now I would get a slightly used latest generation 2019 Altima Platinum which you can get for under 25K. That's a hands down better deal than top of line 2020 Sentra especially when you factor in the superb mpg rating of the Altima almost identical to the Sentra.
I was in the shop for a nice sedan with fully loaded features. Went to look at a fully loaded civic touring but ended up picking up a 2019 Nissan Altima Platinum for only $30000 with demo pricing! Amazing car for the price. I'd recommend people that are in the market for sentra premium to spend a bit more and look for an altima on a big sale.
I'm not a fan of Nissan but the front end of the new Altima isn't bad. The front end looked good but the body just seemed odd to me...didn't match with the front end...the sentra fixed the problem. Nice front end that goes with the body. Thumbs up on the sentra.
The Sentra has outsold the Altima for the 2021 year. This is because of its value for the price point. You get a lot of what you get with the Altima in the Sentra for a lower price. It’s a better value for FWD. However if you need AWD the Altima is a must. Also the Sentra is definitely slower. This is coming from a Maxima and Q60 owner, non-biased since I don’t own either.
Thank you for the comparison. The way I see it, if you drive in the city mostly, then Sentra makes sense, for long drives Altima is the better option. Price difference is 30% which is huge
@@carsunlocked Can you get the sv sentra with quilted leather? The SV sentra with the premium package cost about $200 more than the sentra SR with the premium package
Yup. My 2020 Sentra SV Premium has the beautiful quilted leather you can usually only get on the Maxima. I love it! When I saw the quilted leather it won me over. I was considering the SR Premium. Glad I got the SV instead.
I have the 2017 model the new 2020 looks amazing the only issue i got is it sits way too low and the place i live in got big bumps i HATE scratching it 🤦🏻♂️
When you buy Mazda Volvo and Nissan always remember to buy the smallest one out there cuz they all look the same Volvo even uses the same engine across different size of vehicles
The remote start is impressive that Nissan brought it to compact car. Does Sentra also have push button to open the doors? That said, is Nissan the only one to have those features (remote start, push button entry, push button start) on their compact cars? I can't believe Civic still has to insert a key to start. Forte as well. But maybe they have it as optional?
Yepp I had the option to get the civic or a Sentra and I chose the Sentra SV because it had push to start, touchscreen infotainment system, and I just liked the overall styling better ! Also with all the safety features it seemed like the best choice.It’s 2020 why would a brand new civic need a key 🤦🏾♀️
Altima, no question. I'm about ready to buy a 2020 Altima this coming Saturday. Can't wait! One suggestion.....talk more about the "Zero Gravity Seats"! This is the main reason I want this car. I'm almost 62 and have serious back problems. I can drive this car and have absolutely NO PAIN while driving it. My current car which is almost paid off is 8 years old (bought it used. It's a 2012), has become incredibly painful to drive. It's in great condition and I'm giving it to my kid. So.....PLEASE mention these seats. They're in the Sentra and other models too. Only Nissan has them. Look up the video on "Zero Gravity Seats". They're INCREDIBLE!!!!
thanks for the comments, you will definitely enjoy the zero gravity seats. I mention them a lot in all my altima videos so feel free to check those out. I did not go into much detail because both cars have them in this video.you will experience less fatigue and sore ness
The Shooter's Bay Lol, all the major reviewers give Altima lower reliability ratings and felt that then driving experience was lackluster. I also don’t know why you have to be offensive to me. If you feel you want to get Altima, get Altima. Why put others down? Very mature of you.
The sr sentra has led turn signals and fog lights and dual climate control. Where in the sr Altima no led turn signals or fogs and single zone climate. You have to move up to a platinum altima for dual climate and fogs but still don't get led turn signals. Definitely a few pros and cons. The altima gets a little more space and dual exhaust. Both are nice vehicles.
I actually bought the 2020 sentra sr premium but the dealership will let you trade up to 3 days. So i am going to drive the sr Altima and make my decision today. I love the sentra so i doubt i will trade.
@@carsunlocked Yeah I always have the mindset of paying it off but I never quite get there 🤣 I'm looking into maybe a lease for that reason just wasn't sure if I would absolutely hate going from Maxima to Sentra or if the perks of a lower payment plus a new car every so often would counterbalance. I'm ok with always having a car payment
not to bark at the new sentra, but my fam have a 2013 sentra and its 3rd transmission, thank God they fix at their cost. that's a shame, new Sentra looking really good
If you really like power just go for the maxima or the altima turbo, the 2.5L can pull but real power is the V6 its just sad they left the altima V6 i really liked it 💔
Great review. Quick question though. Aside from price and fuel mileage, which would you recommend overall in all aspects, the 2020/2021 Nissan Altima or the 2020/2021 Nissan Sentra. I ask because I heard that the previous generation Sentra had a lot of transmission/mechanical and reliability issues. Personally I would prefer a Altima, since in my opinion and experience they were/are very reliable. I had a 09 Altima SL, for about 7-8 years, and in all those years I never had any significant issues or problems with that Altima, and only just basic and typical car repairs/maintenance repairs, such as brake pad/rotor changes, but nothing serious. With that being said, I think the new Sentra looks very nice and similar to the new Altima, at least appearance wise at a significantly lower price. However I am bit hesitant on giving the new Sentra a try and buy, due to its past generations mechanical and reliability issues as I don't want to be stuck with a lemon. Any personal insights, before I choose between the two? Thanks.
thanks for the inquiry. I am in a similar place as you as I have owned a Nissan Altima for 6 years and have not had any issues. I also really like the new design of the sentra and do feel the engine will be more reliable however cannot guarantee that as only time will tell. I have always been a fan of the Altima but I also drove the Sentra for several months and was super happy with the demo
@@carsunlocked Thanks for replying. Yeah, I mean I would normally would just go with the Altima, however the new Sentra looks as or almost as good as the current Altima, and at a signficantly lower price. Anyhow, if I do go for the Sentra, I would probably go with the Sentra SR with the premium package. As for the Altima, I would hands down go with the Altima SL, however because of the significantly higher price and being on a slight budget, I think I will have to unfortunately pass and go with a Sentra SR with the premium package, and just look at it as a fully loaded baby Altima lol. I mean honestly I am not too much of a fan of the base model Altima S, as I guess it's because I used to own a Altima SL, and it would just feel weird and sort of downgrading without all or almost all the bells and whistles. Unless, in your opinion and expertise, the base model Altima S would be suffice and just as good as the Altima SL. By the way, is there any differences pros or cons in all aspects, on the Altima SL Fwd and the Altima SL Awd, aside from price of course? Which would you recommend of the both or is there not really a need or difference in the Awd, since its a sedan. Thanks, and sorry for asking.
ooo here in Canada there is no Altima fwd so it is hard to compare. depending on where you live you will want to get snow tires either way so I don't think it matters
@@carsunlocked ok, thanks. One last question, have you done a video on the 2020/2021 Nissan Versa SR? If so, what are your insights on it? If not, can you do a video on it when you get the chance? I prefer the Altima SL, however I think at least at the present moment that won't be possible, since I don't think I qant to downgrade to a base model Altima S, unless in your opinion you don't see a complete or significant difference of it when compared to the SL, aside from the premium features of course. Anyway, I think I might I will not take the risk with the Sentra for now at least, and just go with a 2020/2021 Nissan Versa SR instead, which is also significantly less than both the Sentra and Altima. I have someone in my family who has a 2018 Nissan Versa sedan, and so far so good. I think I might give it a try, and maybe down the road save up for a loaded Altima SL.
I was going to consider getting the new Sentra. Then Hyundai released the all new 2021 Elantra at the L.A. Auto Show a few weeks ago. The new Elantra is polarizing with more tech features. Wireless Android Auto/Apple Carplay. Digital key access with a key card or on your phone. 10.2 inch infotainment and digital guage screen all connected in one glass like an Audi or Mercedes Benz. The coupe design in the back with the LED connected tail lights are mesmerizing. Although design cues are from the new Sonata, it still has it own unique design to distinguish the two. The Altima and Sentra looks too much alike. I was a fan of Nissan. But their CVT engines are very crappy and unreliable. And the company is facing bankruptcy. So don't know what the future holds for Nissan. Overall, I choose the new 2021 Hyundai Elantra N-Line over the new Sentra when it's released this fall.
Wow the new Elantra does sound great. Curious the price difference. We can't compare the n line to the Sentra. Hopefully they come out with a nismo Sentra to compete
@@carsunlocked Nope, that's a different comparison as far as powertrain. But the Elantra Limited is definitely can compete with the Sentra SR. Pricing is not out yet, but with all the standard features including wireless Android Auto/Apple Carplay, it's a great contender! Don't know why Sentra doesn't offer wireless phone charger or embedded navigation. That's my only gripe about it
the altima 0-60 is almost 10 seconds while the sentra 0-60 is 8 actually so even with more power in the altima you're not getting "better acceleration" as the video stated
Sentra it is... you are definitely bias... Sentra is the baby Maxima... with this new redesigned there's NO need to buy an Altima unless you filthy rich. This Sentra bad boy is fully loaded... talking Nonsense about the altima feeling more upscale inside get the premium package on the sentra and you get real leather to sit yourself and boyfriend. God bless. Nice video.
Competitors like Toyota have huge physical differences between the Camry and Corolla, Optima and Forte or Hyundai with their Sonata and Elantra. But Nissan decided they'll make the same body style. Nissan's sales won't be as good as the Optima/Sonata, Camry, Accord and Mazda3 Sedans because their Sentra will steal the shine due to the pricing from the Altima ($10,000 more for the same look).
None of this two! Now I have a Sentra SV. It's giving me a hard time dealers and no one want to be responsible or at least little more fare on warranty for repair. My issue is the bad transmission (CTV). Don't even think spending a single dollar on Nissan at all. Get the best, and deal with whoever will respond you specially on this cases. Warranties.
Sorry to hear that. How many kms on your Sentra and what year is it. Also remember when you make formal complaints to the dealer hopefully you are polite and use proper grammar so they take you seriously
Buy neither....Nissan uses these CVT transmission on some of it's model (don't know if it's all)which breaks down after about 70000 - 100000 miles which has to be replaced ($3000-$4000)cost. And it always breaks down after warranty or car notes paid off. I'll stay away from any car with CVT transmission
Which one would you buy???
I'd buy the Altima for the pro pilot assist alone
Sentra
Shaniece Nichols Altima
@@Wald4267 great choice mate
None. As long as nissan still puts fckn jatco cvt.
Just got a 2020 Sentra SR and absolutely love it. drives great and has more pickup than previous models. the redesign makes it look sooo much better.

but the sentra looks way better lol
Sentra SR looks miles better than Altima. Altimas advantage is awd. It's not even faster than Sentra.
The Altima is definitely the better car but for nearly a 30% difference in price the Sentra would definitely be my buy.

What did you mean by what you said in the end " Altima AWD pro pilot assist probably give you less on insurance .." ?
Those are saftey features so your insurance will most likely be lower with the Altima than Sentra

It's a 2012), has become incredibly painful to drive. It's in great condition and I'm giving it to my kid. So.....PLEASE mention these seats. They're in the Sentra and other models too. Only Nissan has them. Look up the video on "Zero Gravity Seats". They're INCREDIBLE!!!!
thanks for the comments, you will definitely enjoy the zero gravity seats. I mention them a lot in all my altima videos so feel free to check those out. I did not go into much detail because both cars have them in this video.you will experience less fatigue and sore ness
Yeah I gotta say the Sentra looks way better. And 10k cheaper. No brainer.
Great choice mate they did a good job with the redesign
I wonder which model has better reliability prediction.
I would say the Altima for sure
@@carsunlocked That's pretty discouraging! Altima has a terrible reliability score
itself...
@@mixailonemaga1253 this is a new altima its reliability has not been proven yet! You are living in the past grow up!!
The Shooter's Bay Lol, all the major reviewers give Altima lower reliability ratings and felt that then driving experience was lackluster. I also don’t know why you have to be offensive to me. If you feel you want to get Altima, get Altima. Why put others down? Very mature of you.
@@mixailonemaga1253 lol you tell em brother
Sentra SR with premium package if I can find one this late in the year
the 2021 should be arriving soon
The Sentra is like a baby Altima, and the Versa holds its own.
The sr sentra has led turn signals and fog lights and dual climate control. Where in the sr Altima no led turn signals or fogs and single zone climate. You have to move up to a platinum altima for dual climate and fogs but still don't get led turn signals. Definitely a few pros and cons. The altima gets a little more space and dual exhaust. Both are nice vehicles.
hey thanks for your input. you never said which one would you buy?
I actually bought the 2020 sentra sr premium but the dealership will let you trade up to 3 days. So i am going to drive the sr Altima and make my decision today. I love the sentra so i doubt i will trade.
@@olmixer very interesting they have that policy... where I am from there is no Sr
Yea i can get the SR altima for 300 dollars more.
@@olmixer sounds like a good deal simply for the pro pilot
🖤Nissan Twins🖤
Thanks for comments
The front end of both cars look the same or similar
they are cousins
Good review & great Nissan.
Glad you liked it
Keep my 2018 Maxima 85k miles or buy the sentra for a lower payment? 😬
keep your maxima payments suck
3 more years left on the loan. Something like $410 a month. Will have close to 140k miles when it's paid off.
@@matthewc4451 seems like you do a lot of trying but I will always have payments if u keep trading your car in
@@carsunlocked Yeah I always have the mindset of paying it off but I never quite get there 🤣 I'm looking into maybe a lease for that reason just wasn't sure if I would absolutely hate going from Maxima to Sentra or if the perks of a lower payment plus a new car every so often would counterbalance. I'm ok with always having a car payment
@@matthewc4451 awesome let me know what you decide
They should create a Saltima, everything the Altima provides but in the size of the Sentra
lol that would be awesome
Thinking about buying the Altima SR😊
Stay tune as I will unlock one soon
Sentra looks and its a better choice in my opinion. Great review!! 🙂
Christian Garcia don’t do it
thanks for comment christian dont listen to the haters
not to bark at the new sentra, but my fam have a 2013 sentra and its 3rd transmission, thank God they fix at their cost.
that's a shame, new Sentra looking really good
thats tough
Yes Sir
You can get a 8in infotainment system in the Sentra
If you really like power just go for the maxima or the altima turbo, the 2.5L can pull but real power is the V6 its just sad they left the altima V6 i really liked it 💔
great info
Great review. Quick question though. Aside from price and fuel mileage, which would you recommend overall in all aspects, the 2020/2021 Nissan Altima or the 2020/2021 Nissan Sentra. I ask because I heard that the previous generation Sentra had a lot of transmission/mechanical and reliability issues.
Personally I would prefer a Altima, since in my opinion and experience they were/are very reliable. I had a 09 Altima SL, for about 7-8 years, and in all those years I never had any significant issues or problems with that Altima, and only just basic and typical car repairs/maintenance repairs, such as brake pad/rotor changes, but nothing serious. With that being said, I think the new Sentra looks very nice and similar to the new Altima, at least appearance wise at a significantly lower price. However I am bit hesitant on giving the new Sentra a try and buy, due to its past generations mechanical and reliability issues as I don't want to be stuck with a lemon. Any personal insights, before I choose between the two? Thanks.
thanks for the inquiry. I am in a similar place as you as I have owned a Nissan Altima for 6 years and have not had any issues. I also really like the new design of the sentra and do feel the engine will be more reliable however cannot guarantee that as only time will tell. I have always been a fan of the Altima but I also drove the Sentra for several months and was super happy with the demo
@@carsunlocked Thanks for replying. Yeah, I mean I would normally would just go with the Altima, however the new Sentra looks as or almost as good as the current Altima, and at a signficantly lower price.
Anyhow, if I do go for the Sentra, I would probably go with the Sentra SR with the premium package. As for the Altima, I would hands down go with the Altima SL, however because of the significantly higher price and being on a slight budget, I think I will have to unfortunately pass and go with a Sentra SR with the premium package, and just look at it as a fully loaded baby Altima lol. I mean honestly I am not too much of a fan of the base model Altima S, as I guess it's because I used to own a Altima SL, and it would just feel weird and sort of downgrading without all or almost all the bells and whistles. Unless, in your opinion and expertise, the base model Altima S would be suffice and just as good as the Altima SL.
By the way, is there any differences pros or cons in all aspects, on the Altima SL Fwd and the Altima SL Awd, aside from price of course? Which would you recommend of the both or is there not really a need or difference in the Awd, since its a sedan. Thanks, and sorry for asking.
ooo here in Canada there is no Altima fwd so it is hard to compare. depending on where you live you will want to get snow tires either way so I don't think it matters
@@carsunlocked ok, thanks. One last question, have you done a video on the 2020/2021 Nissan Versa SR? If so, what are your insights on it? If not, can you do a video on it when you get the chance?
I prefer the Altima SL, however I think at least at the present moment that won't be possible, since I don't think I qant to downgrade to a base model Altima S, unless in your opinion you don't see a complete or significant difference of it when compared to the SL, aside from the premium features of course.
Anyway, I think I might I will not take the risk with the Sentra for now at least, and just go with a 2020/2021 Nissan Versa SR instead, which is also significantly less than both the Sentra and Altima. I have someone in my family who has a 2018 Nissan Versa sedan, and so far so good. I think I might give it a try, and maybe down the road save up for a loaded Altima SL.
yea i did film the VERSA SR check it out on my channel. I plan to do a Versa vs sentra comparison to help educate consumers on the difference
if the Sentra had more horsepower, I'd have totally been for it... I dunno why they didn't put the Altima engine in it... gets the same gas mileage.
well then no one would buy the altima
@@carsunlocked 😂 the Sentra already outsells the Altima. Some people would like more space though
I was going to consider getting the new Sentra. Then Hyundai released the all new 2021 Elantra at the L.A. Auto Show a few weeks ago. The new Elantra is polarizing with more tech features. Wireless Android Auto/Apple Carplay. Digital key access with a key card or on your phone. 10.2 inch infotainment and digital guage screen all connected in one glass like an Audi or Mercedes Benz. The coupe design in the back with the LED connected tail lights are mesmerizing. Although design cues are from the new Sonata, it still has it own unique design to distinguish the two. The Altima and Sentra looks too much alike. I was a fan of Nissan. But their CVT engines are very crappy and unreliable. And the company is facing bankruptcy. So don't know what the future holds for Nissan. Overall, I choose the new 2021 Hyundai Elantra N-Line over the new Sentra when it's released this fall.
Wow the new Elantra does sound great. Curious the price difference. We can't compare the n line to the Sentra. Hopefully they come out with a nismo Sentra to compete
@@carsunlocked Nope, that's a different comparison as far as powertrain. But the Elantra Limited is definitely can compete with the Sentra SR. Pricing is not out yet, but with all the standard features including wireless Android Auto/Apple Carplay, it's a great contender! Don't know why Sentra doesn't offer wireless phone charger or embedded navigation. That's my only gripe about it
How about Nissan Maxima. Well I would go with Maxima, a much upscale car.
Great choice my man
They practically look like the same car
basically cousins
the new sentra is so nice
thanks so much for commenting
the altima 0-60 is almost 10 seconds while the sentra 0-60 is 8 actually so even with more power in the altima you're not getting "better acceleration" as the video stated
I disagree drive them both back to back and you will understand what I mean here. Altima definitely has better acceleration
if you learn the curve you can get th Altima close to 7-7.5
LIKE THE SENTRA
great choice
Very similar but price have to go to Sentra 2020 !!
great choice and love the name 3
I will buy the Sentra
Thanks for your comments Dave definitely a lot of value in the Sentra
Depends on the space you need.Me.ill take that Altima
I'd take the Altima as well
Nissan Sentra 2014 or Nissan Maxima 2014?
maxima for sure wasnt really a fan of the older style sentras
*Sentra SR*
Altima is a luxurious car.. it's built to cross continents with comfort and power.
yes sir
Sentra it is... you are definitely bias... Sentra is the baby Maxima... with this new redesigned there's NO need to buy an Altima unless you filthy rich. This Sentra bad boy is fully loaded... talking Nonsense about the altima feeling more upscale inside get the premium package on the sentra and you get real leather to sit yourself and boyfriend. God bless. Nice video.
Competitors like Toyota have huge physical differences between the Camry and Corolla, Optima and Forte or Hyundai with their Sonata and Elantra. But Nissan decided they'll make the same body style. Nissan's sales won't be as good as the Optima/Sonata, Camry, Accord and Mazda3 Sedans because their Sentra will steal the shine due to the pricing from the Altima ($10,000 more for the same look).
Which one? Neither. They have Jatco CVT transmissions that will die on you at 80-120k miles
Well thanks for watching
أكو عرب بالطيارة؟
Not a fan that they looks so similar wish the Altima had the Sentras head and tail lights
They are pretty similar
They nice but be wary of those jatco cvt's
thanks for the comments
For 10 thousand dollars more.. The Sentra seems a much more intelligent buy.
There is definitely value there
Altima, I own the 2020 Nissan Altima Platinum
thats awesome thanks for watching!
I like the Altima more, it is more car than the Sentra. In security the Altima is better. That's what I'm looking for, security.
Yes a bit more value too. Thanks for your comments
Altima only lasts 60,000 miles until major repair, the Sentra is way better in my opinion!
Anyone else think he looks like Flynn from Breaking Bad, I mean give him some crouches
your not the first to say that
The Altima definitely. It's more auto than the Sentra, in all respects.
thanks for commenting my friend
Sentra all day
None of this two! Now I have a Sentra SV. It's giving me a hard time dealers and no one want to be responsible or at least little more fare on warranty for repair. My issue is the bad transmission (CTV). Don't even think spending a single dollar on Nissan at all. Get the best, and deal with whoever will respond you specially on this cases. Warranties.
Sorry to hear that. How many kms on your Sentra and what year is it. Also remember when you make formal complaints to the dealer hopefully you are polite and use proper grammar so they take you seriously
Hands down Altima looks better Sentra to small ‼️
great choice my friend thanks so much for commenting
Buy neither....Nissan uses these CVT transmission on some of it's model (don't know if it's all)which breaks down after about 70000 - 100000 miles which has to be replaced ($3000-$4000)cost. And it always breaks down after warranty or car notes paid off. I'll stay away from any car with CVT transmission
So sorry u feel that way sir. Hopefully u have success with your transmission
