  • Is the new 2020 Nissan Sentra better than the current generation Toyota Corolla?
    2020 Sentra vs 2020 Corolla.
    The Sentra and the Corolla have been fighting for the midsize sedan market for a long time, the Corolla has been in the market much longer than the Sentra, the first Corolla was introduced in 1966, meanwhile the Sentra was first introduced 1982, 16 years later.
    Today we have the 8th Generation Sentra and the 12th Generation Toyota Corolla which was introduced in 2018. The 8th generation is new for 2020. I will compare them against each other in terms of prices, cargo space, engine options, tech features, and how they handle on the road.

It's always started up on the first shot, A/C blows ice cold, engine purrs, and the transmission is rock solid. And I've driven that car like it was stolen. I've just recently decided to upgrade to a 2021 Sentra SR with a 6 speed stick and I expect that it will be every bit as reliable as the Micra was. Get any Nissan in stick and it will last without issues. I've never once had a breakdown or any sort of failure that has left me without transportation for the entire life of the vehicle; I'm sure that if I wanted it to, I could push 500,000 km out of that car relatively trouble free

      Roger Casey The owners manual tells you about when should the CVT fluid be changed. Don’t let people tell you that you should change it at 30,000 miles or less because first of all it is expensive and second of all the ones who told you that are the ones who don’t properly take care of their car and won’t help you when something goes wrong with your car. The manual tells you everything you need to know about your car and I hope you take the time to read all the important information on how and when to maintain your vehicle. I hope this helps.

    Nissan definitely upped its game not just with the Sentra but Altima and Versa as well. No one beats Nissan when it comes to comfort with their zero gravity seats. I drove the newly redesigned Altima (which is even more comfortable than my 2018 Altima) and in terms of comfort and drivability beats almost any car on road. The new Sentra has the same design language as the Altima and new Versa and probably carries a lot of the same DNA of its bigger brother in which case it’s no small wonder it beats out the Corolla.

    Drove both.
    Infotainment and backup camera are better on the Sentra. It has more features like keyless entry, push to start, and better safety features for the same price.
    Acceleration and handling are better on the Sentra, but the transmission doesn't supply power evenly at all speeds.
    Ride quality is better on the Corolla; if you live somewhere with poor roads or you drive long distances, I would pick the Corolla for this alone.
    Overall, it's a mixed bag, but for my personal use, I would much rather get the Sentra.

    Sam, my wife and I have owned Nissans most of our lives. They have served us well. Our 2007 Murano has 155K milkes and my 2008 Sentra 153K. The Nissan 3.5 liter in my opinion is one of the best in its' class. My Sentra has wonderful low end torque so the get up and go is wonderful. However, it may be time to move away from this manufacturer. One is able to get a "best deal" when purchasing the new Sentra compared to the competition. However, the reliability is a concern of mine.

    For me and my money I would take the Sentra. It felt more powerful the transmission was a bit better and it had a much better interior. Also the seats were much better than the Corolla. The Corolla felt too cheap it's base engine is crap and the transmission is even crappier.and the seats in the base model and Le trim were horrible I test drove both cars the Sentra were very nice and I felt comfortable I could drive the car all day and not feel fatigued. That was not the case for the Corolla. I test drove the Corolla afterwards and after 20 minutes of driving it my back was in serious pain I felt like I needed a chiropractor after driving that car. And I thought the 2019 Hyundai elantra seats were bad nope the Corolla has them beat. So if your a big tall 6,4 guy like me skip the Corolla and get a Sentra trust me your back will thank you.

    Quite a few comments regarding the Nissan Jatco transmission. I personally owned a Nissan Rogue that went to 200,000 trouble free miles before I traded it . I currently own another one that has 120,000 trouble free miles and it's going strong, both Jatcos. Having owned a Toyota Sienna as well, at 77,000 miles , the transmission had to be replaced. So ok, I thought it was a fluke and continued to drive it believing in Toyota's reputation. Unfortunately at 137,000 miles , It had to have its third transmission because of another failure. Needless to say, I sold the Sienna after the second transmission replacement. I still believe in Toyota quality, however I personally find it difficult to buy another one. You can't expect total reliability in any brand. Bad ones will happen, however I will purchase another Nissan with no hesitation, based on my personal experience with both brands.

    Neither of these cars should cost over $15K and neither the Altima nor Camrh should cost more than $20K.
    Car prices are ridiculous and people shouldn't put up with it but they do so manufacturers will continue to raise prices far past tge rate of inflation
    Anyway, the Sentra does look nice but they put that grill on the GTR which makes it look like a sentra

    I agree that, while both look attractive, the Sentra wins in the looks department, both outside and inside. Especially if you choose the premium package in the Sentra SV trim and enjoy the quilted leather seats. However, the 2020 Nissan Sentra is cheaply made in Mexico with the infamous JATCO CVT. 2020 Toyota Corolla is made in USA & Japan and has the Aisin CVT which has a much better reputation for reliability. Many people buy these cars so they can drive it for over 20 years so long-term reliability matters. Corolla has been using the Aisin CVT since 2013 and it's been mostly reliable.

The Blueprint color is especially gorgeous. The new Corolla certainly looks better than previous models. Is it attention-seekingly crazy like a 2020 Civic or 2020 Civic Type R?

    If the Sentra was a manual it would be half way decent but Ive heard too many bad remarks about their automatics and CVTS. Toyotas transmissions are usually reliable regardless of what kind. If i recall correctly, Toyota doesnt even make their own transmissions. I'm sure the Sentra is far more fun to drive. I have 16 corolla and its boring as hell. It does 0-60 in about a year! Its a manual so thats its only saving grace. Toyotas generally last longer so thats kind of why I bought one. My first car was 1991 Toyota Corolla and I cranked out 210000 miles before sending to a junkyard. I also had a 93 Nissan Sentra which was REALLY fucking fun to drive. The exhaust sounded bad ass but the engine blew somewhere around 150000 miles. Both were manuals. If you wanted that Nissan it would still be relaiable, Id just suggest getting a manual. Id still probably stick with the worlds most boring and slowest car because I know its going to outlast everything else. Corolla stands for Car Of Rust On Last Leg Again. Anyways, I've gone on long enough. This was still intersting to watch and learn about the newer cars.

    Although I'm a Corolla fan, I must correct you Sam. This 2020 Corolla was not last updated in 2018, the 2020 Corolla is the first year of the 12th generation. The 2020 Corollas started being sold very early at early March 2019, maybe that's why you thought they were older. You're right though, the 2020 Corolla has been in the market for a full year longer than the 2020 Sentra so Nissan did have a chance to analyze the 2020 Corolla and use their analysis to make the 2020 Sentra more competitive.

The Sentra might seem like a better value but it just can’t match the quality, reliability and smoothness of the Corolla. Vastly smoother CVT in the Corolla and a less jarring ride.

    Comparing nissan with Toyota apples to apples? Hell no, I made the mistake of buying a nissan rogue and it's been nothing but problems, that jatco cvt isn't the same as the one made by toyota, you mentioned many things in your comparison but reliability, that's why toyota sells more than all others.

    Reliability issue Sam....unable to compete with Toyota. Plus Corolla SE has 168 HP with a first "launch" gear compared to Sentra's power.

      But they aren't unreliable? Mostly the CVT has had issues.

      When it comes to shitty cvt Nissan takes the win. And to this day they still can't get it right lol toyota cvt are ok but I would prefer the 6mt on the corolla se
