There is a button (small square) on the shifter for Sport mode
Its great to see the Japanese still realize there's a car market. Unlike the big three that got there heads warped up in the pickup truck. Great review.
Been driving Nissans products since 97, CVTs since 2009, no CVT issues.
No issues here with CVTs.
I agree with this great review ! 8 months ago I bought the 2023 Sentra SR with the manual transmission (orange) and for the price (just over $25k taxes extra) have been blown away. It’s peppy, frugal on gas and the seats are class leading. Side note: my neighbours are convinced it’s a $40k + car. No issues to report yet. So far, a winner! Btw, I based my purchase on your prior review of the Sentra so Thank You!
Awesome so glad you are enjoying it. Great choice with the manual.
@slats66
A couple of North American car magazines have commented on the six speeed manual transmission in the Sentra being outstanding in its operation and much better compared to the Versa six speed manual. Sadly we in the USA cannot get the Sentra with the manual transmission.
no cvt you might be ok
@@grumio9667 Thx. Apparently the CVT issues ended around the 2020 Sentra refresh.
Yess Awesome price and manual transmission is cherry🍒 on top 🍰
Hi. Sport button is hidden on the gear shifter. Most people do not notice that button .
I think Andrea has it right that the black roof works particularly well on this car, at least with this great blue--greater than the sum of the parts alone...and that is not always the case. Similarly, just about everybody has a spoiler but the paint scheme and lip spoiler combo on this really picks it up. The whole look has this Sentra looking like it's in a different class.
Been driving only Nissan cars since 1980. When they were still Datsuns. Got well over 150,000 mile on each one selling them to private individuals prior to my next purchase. The only one I would classify as bad was a 2014, which had a major electrical manufacturer defect. The Nissan dealer took it back and put me in a 2016 SL Model, a major upgrade including 6 Bose speakers. Still driving it now with only 67,000 miles on it. Retirement saved mileage. Still looks brand new, and people comment on it all the time.
Datsun... wow , haven't seen that word in decades.
I have a 2020 Sentra and I love it. Nissan CVT cars have a small white button on the back of the shift knob. Press it and DS will show up on the dash and it will hold higher revs.
I’m with you Zack. I really don’t get why so many people dump on CVTs. They gripe about the lack of manuals but here’s the irony - even if manufacturers started putting manuals back in these kinds of vehicles (at least in the States), no one would buy them. That’s been proven over the decades. And CVTs today are so much better.
I think complaining about CVTs is more of a national pastime than anything legitimate.
Nissan CVT grim reliability , why don't Zack and Andrea mention it?
less technology means less expensive, more reliable and less expensive to repair (if...) This car with manual may be one of the best option for a lot of people (who don't mind manuals).
Recently found your channel and I love the husband and wife duo, thank you for the awesome reviews!
Thank you so much, welcome aboard!
Definitely been waiting for this review, nice Colour and and well profiled on the chassis 🎉
Yes,
I have say Nissan did a great job inside and outside.
Thanks for sharing
i did not except this video to be this professional
good job thank you
I know what you mean about the spaceship comment. My previous new car buy was a 2013 Chevy Spark. Virtually no infotainment system and it didn't even have a backup camera. However, for the first 280 thousand miles it was trouble free. But in November I bought a brand new 2023 Chevy Bolt EV and I was catapulted into the future. Gr8 vid as usual. 🚙🇺🇸🔌⚡
Hooray for the 6 speed manual
I just bought one. Paid 22K and it is a decent car very nice accent lines. The hood has raised areas over the wheelwells so it feels bigger than what it actually is. The engine is not a sports car engine, but it does have a fairly decent pole due to the weight being so low. I got the base model not much as far as luxury goes, but it’s still feels comfortable.
I know it’s a foreign car. I don’t like the gas tank opening being on the opposite side something I have to get used to getting close enough to the pump.
For a car of its size, the trunk space is very adequate. There is a little dip on the rear bumper of the trunk which allows water to crest in this low spot that will be the dirtiest spot of the car when the water dries up continuously and leaves the minerals behind.
The passenger seat does not have an up-and-down adjustment so you sit where you sit height twice. The rear seats are very close to the front for me. I’m not a very tall person so won’t be much of an issue, but it will be for family members.
But the car does get great gas mileage like any new car nowadays, and the steering wheel isn’t as touchy as the Chevrolet and the GM cars which I love about the Nissan. It’s a lot harder to get into trouble by overcorrect my view. I would give it a seven out of 10, mainly for price and style.
@4:41
Next episode of questions, cars and coffee you have to tell us how many speeding tickets per year Andrea gets lol
Love you guys ! ❤
I really hope that Nissan has improved their CVT but I have had two transmissions blow, one was guaranteed but the other one cost me $5000 .. So I'm still shying away from buying another Nissan .
JATCO!
Nice review. I'd def take an analog gauge cluster, wired carplay, and a few less of these "safety" features like lane centering if it meant better reliability and a cheaper vehicle.
Happy Valentine's Day Zack & Andrea. I wonder if insurance rates will be lower for the manual transmission? There is no need to use "The Club" on a vehicle with a manual transmission. 😊
Definitely no need for the club. Manual transmissions are the least likely to be stolen.
Great information on a good value car! keep up the good work guys👍👍
Thank you very much!
My son has a 2023 Sentra SR and he loves it.
Thanks for the review appreciate you guys❤
Happy Valentine's Day. I always think compact is the most sensible segment in the industry. Sentra has to be one of the contenders. Its a pity Nissan doesn't give us a hatchback option, instead of forcing us to go for the smaller Kicks "FWD SUV".
I had the 2018 Sentra turbo cvt and I LOVED that car. Then in 2022 I got the new Altima (It was okay but I wasn't satisfied)... yes, I'm going back to this Sentra next week. I'm hoping to have this blue color in stock when I get there. Thanks for this awesome video.
Great review. Another viable Japanese technology option with mpg numbers closer to hybrid's. Loving their new logo (that lights up too!)
Completely destroyed by Renault. Nissan used to be a great Japanese manufacturer.
The tiny button on the shifter with a Dash on it is the SPORT mode button!!
These are ALL excellent SEDANS - thank you for doing them. I looked at them all and it was really just a process of finding a dealer I felt was able and transparent enough to allow me to afford a car at that point. Nissan - I loved how the roof floats on the rear quarter panels - still very attractive, my brother said it was the car to get originally when I was looking (he loved his CVT in his old Caliber - so he did not understand my reluctance). Excellent mileage, I found with my Elantra .. my thinking was that if you drive the petrol-only model "wisely" you can get close to that hybrid mpg - BUT the hybrid you can drive it hard and still get excellent mpg. That was my thinking on it anyway.
There are some that prefer the gauges vs the digital cluster I think its the perfect gauges digital in center with display plus analog gauges
I believe there is a sport mode that is located on the rear of the shifter, that changes shift behavior.
Just noticed the ending splash screen. 👍
I have the 2023 Sentra SR and I love it plus it has the button to push for Sport mode. Save a lot on gas too. WiFi and Auto Android, heated seats & steering wheel & more.
Nice vehicle and love the colour. I give this vehicle a 9 out of 10 because I don’t like the touchscreen and lack of features offer. Great show Andrea! 👏🏻👏🏻☕️☕️
Mazda 3 sedan please. It's more powerful (191 hp in 2.5 na form), beautifully styled, and has a high quality interior.
Mazda 3 is a great car, but the price when compared with the Sentra SR makes the choice hard.
Nice looking car. Some very nice refinements.
Hey car couple. Love your reviews. Wife and I are in YVR for a few days. Got any hidden gems we should try to see while here?
I have a ‘23 Rogue with the 3-cyl turbo and new CVT. It’s very loud when it’s cold, but otherwise it’s a great powertrain. The paddle shifters work great and the CVT does help with amazing fuel economy. It’s my first Nissan and I’m quite impressed with it so far.
@Brian_Eugene_Lee IDK if or how they'll be able to repair their reputation
@Brian_Eugene_Lee lets hope reliability improves
@Brian_Eugene_Lee I put 3! in a 2010 CUBE, gave up on it in 2017, I wish you the best.
You guys have the best videos. Love it how you guys are with each other. You guys are great.
I love the new 2024 Nissan Sentra SR. I just purchased a brand new 2023 loaded top trim Nissan Kicks SR with Premium Package-Technology Package in October 2023. I absolutely love it and it is truly loaded for $26,000.00 (USA).
As for the CVT you guys are so right. It feels like a traditional geared automatic transmission and simulates shifts almost identically. Its time people start to realize CVTs have vastly improved and are still improving. Our past 7 new vehicles since 2014 (model years 2015-2023) have all been Jatco CVTs and non have had issues. We changed the CVT fluid every 3 years or 30,000 miles whichever came first and no issues. Maintenance is a big thing as you know on CVTs and some people just dont do that then are surprised and upset when the CVT fails before 75,000 miles.
That's great you've had luck being easy on your cvt's. However, a standard 6 spd auto like Mazda uses for example would be much improved. Cheap profitable mfg'n, simple as that
@@blown9646 Yea I have had very good luck with my CVTs as well as several coworkers and my Dads 2020 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross CVT he bought new and my Brothers 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport CVT he bought used in 2020 with 50,000 miles on it and he is at like 90,000 miles now and will be having a CVT flush soon as it was done when the car was traded in at the Mitsubishi dealer so he is due again. But I do agree yes a traditional automatic is definitely stronger and requires less maintenance.
Yeah the SR - Nissan here wanted me to go right to the SR, but I told them I felt the middle model with some option package as I recall was what I felt was inline with what I could afford. They had a metallic white middle model in their showroom and I went by the night before with my brother and said, it is supposed to be priced okay and the seats are special comfy ones apparently - should I go see them for harder pricing. So they told me they do not quote "price" just payments and I had to go through their finance office as credit effects that - said likely the SR is $20 to $30 more only if my credit is strong (but "payment" talk - ugh!).
My first car at 19, was a 1989 black Sentra and it was bulletproof .
Nissan "golden years" (1980s-1990s)
Scotty says no no to a Nissan CVT. I would trust Scotty, an experienced car mechanic, about this.
Not saying that Nissan has a great cvt but Scotty is a showman these days.
6MT all the way!
JATCO junk!
How bout no Scott!
I drive '07 Camry V6, and I envy that heated streering wheel.
Isn't the sports button on the shift stick? There's a small button that puts into the so called sports mode?
I have a 2022 Nissan Sentra SV Rosewood metallic and I’m very happy with it. I just want to put better tires on it because the factory tires which are Hankook Ithink are terrible,but the car is awesome. I plan on updating the Tire soon with the new Michelin, Cross climate 2.
Forget the jetta, the tv show rpm test drove one this weekend and it did not perfomed well...
Really like the looks of this gen Sentra. It's up there with the Mazda 3 Sedan and Kia Forte as the class' style leaders.
Nice car but the criticism of Nissan and their CVTs has been valid over the years as they’ve had a lot of reliability issues.
I’m surprised to see that Nissan Sentra SR finally has a car worth considering stateside. I agree with everything you said about the car as well. As far as manuals go here in the states not enough people were buying them. As soon as they stopped manufacturing them the complaints are back. Problem is some cities you no sooner get to one red light & then there’s another. Constant shifting is annoying. I was Maryland trying to learn to drive a manual. My Cousin abandoned us. Luckily, my other cousin was better driving a manual. We eventually made it to our destination.
I have not driven any of NIssan's products, but this proposition seems appealing. It's interesting to have an economy car that doesn't look like a lawnmower and is not barebone.
Hey there is a sports button on the shift stick! It has a horizontal line on it
How is the visibility out of the rear window? Do the rear headrests detach? That might be a dealbreaker for visibility?
Not that I'd buy the auto transmission, but the fact they have a physical button for start/stop feature...vs having to go into some software menu and disable every time. This is a good feature 👍🏼
I have a love/hate relationship with this feature. I like that it saves gas and quiets the vehicle however there is a noticable "bump" sometimes and kind of hesitation when it engages. It's like you lose a single second and have a slower time from stop lights and the like. It also has a mind of it's own and you'll see it refuse to engage sometimes (auto in grey with the line through it), even though the driver is in what seems like perfect conditions for it.
There is a "sport" button on the backside of the shifter handle.
If so, reminds me of a couple older Toyotas I had.... we used to call it the "fun button," most people didn't even know it was there. Mostly held the gears a little bit longer, but effective.
We didn't see it, thanks for this.
@@springertube. It’s quite funny how that can happen. One of my motorcycles has its USB port under the seat in a very hard to find camouflaged position, causing many riders to say it’s not there, lol.
It is a very interesting, good video
Love your show as always! I had a 2021 Sentra, same generation as this one. Great overall value - handsome, comfortable, good handling, loaded with features, and great on gas. I was able to get 4.8L/100kms on one long drive! I wouldn’t have given it up for an AWD SUV if not for the heavy snow we get in wintertime.
My first new car
Was a manual transmission black 87 Nissan Sentra Coupe. Paid over 11,000 Canadian for it plus interest I think around 8%. We drove this car for 13 year and it was trouble free.
Not anymore. I, too, had a 1984 sentra..went over 200,000 miles.
My 2016 I just had to put a new transmission in for 5200$. Crap transmissions since 2002.
@@HUMBOLDT879 Jatco junk Cvts, nissan not the same anymore.
Very sporty looking vehicle. Almost as nice as the Mazda 3.
This has a sport mode, just click the not too showy dash button at the bottom of the gear selector, it doesnt do much but its there to keep the revs up when needed. Question, why do you consider the Elantra the value leader when pound for pound the Sentra is cheaper?
Hooray, a spare tire!!!
I am seriously considering buying this as my mazda 3 is old and high miles, but I want the 6 speed. I might get a used 2023 with the stick if I can find one and with low miles.
Daily. I own a Nissan. And I'm saying avoid the CVT if you can and if you can't, drain and fill the CVT often, not changing the filter because it's just there to catch metal shavings and if the filter is full, your transmission is already scrap. Drain and fill is pretty quick and easy (without changing the filter) if there are no leaks, measure what drains out and refill that amount with the manufacturers recommended CVT fluid.
I wish it had a pop up display on the windshield
There is a Sport button. It's the small button on the back of the shifter.
manual and 6-real-gear transmission?
automatic and cvt transmission?
Does the Sentra default to the 'Auto' Start/Stop mode every time one drives it?
Honest review. Re: your comment "It's like getting into a space ship." I think that only applies to the Elantra (with its over the top styling) 😒
I much prefer the understated Jetta, KIA Forte and Civic style.
The Sentra is the middle ground: sporty without being strange.
I agree with the value. In our new Pricing environment here in Canada it is fairly priced. A naturally aspirated car with great fuel economy is attractive from a long term perspective. Might have long life potential with lower overall maintenance costs. My wife has a 2015 Murano Platinum and after almost 10 years it’s been cheap to maintain and very reliable. No issues with anything and my wife still likes driving it( we’re waiting for the new 2025 Murano to upgrade). I really enjoy your reviews and friendly husband, wife banter. I wish you could add a little segment based comparison of the stereos in the vehicles you review. I’m 52 and like a nice sounding stereo. My daughter is 16 and it’s important to her. It’s a factor in any vehicle I buy and is a reason why I upgraded f/ the 2024 SV to the Sr in our recent purchase. PS - We also own a 2022 Honda Civic Touring. Is it crazy to have two compact cars in the same household? We’re just trying to keep things affordable
Nothing wrong with keeping things affordable and economical! Which of the two cars do you like the most?
The Civic - it’s a touring model and is a little more fun to drive with 200hp. It also has a more advanced adaptive cruise control with lane assist and a better stereo. They’re a little more expensive though
What is past is prologue? Two of your car CZcams peers, one in Canada Toronto and one in USA have recently featured large scale surveys reporting less than 47% of Sentra owners would buy another one. whether 47% is good or bad is another discussion. I have been one of the naysayers about Nissan quality and CVT in particular, however I recently rented a Kicks for an emergency 1500 km hard driving trip and I have to admit it was much better than I expected.
Nissan should be smart and follow what Hyundai did 2 decades ago: increase the warranty! From 3 to 6 years for the powertrain.
Looks like a decent offering in the class. Affordable, nice looking and likely in stock at your local dealer.
I'm a conservative driver and yet to get near 40 mpg. Average is 30
I am a Nissan fan (prior Altima owner) and currently drive a 21 Jetta SEL-Premium...I love the ventilated seats in the Jetta, but my biggest grip is the coolant system in the vehicle...I live in the SW, and we have low 30s during the winter and over 120 in the summer....remote start will not work if the coolant levels are low, which is all the time in both now the winter and summer...for some reason, the coolant retracts during both climates, and it's just pretty disappointing. I have to go out and start my car manually as remote start senses the low levels and will not work... so I have to go out and turn the vehicle on and allow it to run for 5-10 minutes prior to driving... a great car when it works...but sadly, the Jetta will be my last.
one may want to consider a Mazda 3, I would.
in Quebec, the Nissan offer 0% interest rate on the Ariya an Rogue location.
for the new sentra, it still use manual cable parking brake.
I don't know if it's true. for 2024 model, Nissan have 5 years/100 000 KM warranty on powertrain.
Nissan might improved their CVT, but $30,000 is a lot of money to risk on a brand that no figure to prove it is better now. Unlike Mazda, I don.t see any rust on any of their model these day, so I can risk to buy it. For nissan to gain ppl trust again, they should switch all vehicle to 8 speed auto,
Yes! it’s going to take 7-8 years to prove if their new CVT will last beyond 70,80, 100k miles. I agree, an 8 speed would be an easier sell than just taking their word for it.
100% agree. I’d spend a little bit more and get a Corolla or Mazda 3
Watching this video from Dubai sitting in my Nissan 2007 Tida ( versa ) which has crossed 6,35,000 kms and its gearbox still going fine.
@@dipin2 you probably have a 4 speed automatic or 5 speed manual? I don’t think they had CVTs in 2007.
@@dipin2 Nissan used to be a good brand. Renault destroyed it.
I think it's a great looking car and has a lot going for it, but I recently read that the Nissan Sentra is one of the cars that most owners report that they would not ever purchase again. If that's true, that's very disappointing for such a good looking, well priced car.
How'd we go from msrp of 10-12k for entry cars 20 years ago to 25k?
*I'd love to buy the Canadian S base model with the six speed manual and drive it home to the USA!*
Styling has never been an issue for Nissan. This is an attractive car. Unfortunately their reliability continues to be questionable.
Nissan has had terrible reviews on transmission s since 2002. I have a 2016 Sentra and had to just put a new one in for $5200. Ouch. Very disappointing.
At only 100,000 miles!
I love Zack's ending comment. The bizarre things people decide are must have features in cars are amusing. One that amazes me is LED tail lights. Are they better than incandescent? I'm sure. Will it make any statistically measurable difference in accident rates, improve your driving experience in any way or be visible to you at all from inside the car? Of course not. It's like people on house shopping shows that can only afford an 800 square foot cabin with a postage stamp yard in a bad part of the city in California but those 4 inch thick genuine Italian marble counters are a must have and they couldn't possibly consider a house that doesn't have them.
Different strokes for different folks for sure.
Incandescent bulbs just look cheap and old fashioned. LED lights have a modern, clean look and are more noticable/safer. They're not expensive either so there's no reason any new car shouldn't be all LED for lighting.
@@theMLBfan I didn't put a ton of work into it but spot checking a genuine Toyota headlight assembly from a 2013 Corolla and a genuine 2014 (2013 incandescent, 2014 LED) the 2013 is 153 a piece and 2014 from same website 404 dollars. That might be a big difference to you but even 200 dollars is enough extra expense that you might be trading lumbar support for LED tail lights or satellite radio for LED tail lights either of which I would take in a heartbeat over LED tail lights. Again, everybody gets to make their own choices. but 'not much more expensive' adds up if you upgrade every light on the car and in the compact segment every dollar matters.
Does the Jetta and Sentra come with a 5 yr unlimited tow truck coverage? Gonna need that!
I liked the design better on the previous (2020) generation.
As usual the USA is denied a really great manual transmission in the Sentra!
Many car magazines say the manual unit in the Sentra is one of the best manual transmissions in any model car today! Far superior to the manual gearbox in the smaller Versa model.
Viewed video on 2/15/24 at 6:43 AM EST.
Excellent video.
I’ve always been a hard core manual fan and either owned or leased 14 Nissans divided equally between Altimas, and earlier, Maximas. All had/have V6 Z engines which was/is the primary reason I chose Nissan. When they dropped the manual for CVT, I missed the control in snowy road conditions but other than that, it’s been fine. I’m pleasantly surprised to see sales of compacts like the Sentra tick up. It’s affordable, good looking, with excellent sight lines and reliable.
How is this a value buy? You can get a forte gt limited for the same money and it has 200hp with a dct and like 20 more features.
🙏
Without a 10yr/100k mile powertrain warranty, I won't touch another CVT-equipped Nissan after my experience with a new 2012 Versa SV sedan I bought. I really liked that little car, but the CVT started slipping at just 38k miles. I ended up trading the car in after just 2yrs to avoid paying for a new CVT out of pocket. It was over the mileage limit on the warranty. My experience is just another drop in the bucket for Nissan owners.
they should be mentioning the gamble you are taking on any new NIssan CVT!
Jatco cvt on it? Have to pass then since my Juke. Cheers from Fraser Valley!
Great looking car inside and out. Zack get Nissan to put a Toyota 2.0 non turbo engine and the Toyota cvt with the real first gear and I'd buy it
Jettas are very expensive to maintenance also.
How y’all miss the sport mode it’s on the gear shift
I've noted that the gas cap is on the passenger side, which means the driver has to pull into a gas station with the gas pump on the right, then walk around the back of the car to fuel up. Since most all other cars have gas caps on the driver side, this also puts you facing other vehicles at the pumps, and... away from driver's door for control/safety. I don't know, it just feels like it would be a pain, and more so after dark. JUST SAYING...
All German cars have gas cap on the passenger side.
i feel like for value the kicks is better. for price the versa is better.
The 2023 has Sport Mode. Has the 2024 removed it? That's one of the best features of the car which is rarely mentioned. Yes, it does have a sporty feel. It's easy and fun to drive.
It's still there, just nobody knows it exists because it's not easily visible on the shifter, is only represented by a dash (no words), and then only a single S in the instrument panel. Even long time Nissan dealers do not know about it. It would be better if they just combined it with the Eco button and toggled through all modes instead.
@@stealthis The salesman at the first dealer I visited told me about the sport mode but I didn't use it. I ended up buying the car at another dealer and while I was test driving I asked salesman if there was a sport mode and he said "no". Later when I got home I got out the manual to see if it did. so I took it for a spin to try it and surprised how much more power there is, plus the suspension feels tighter. Now I wouldn't have known anything about a "sport mode" either had the salesman at the first dealer tell me. Thanks for your feedback. Appreciate it!
It has a sport mode
CVT aside, I've seen plenty of newer Nissans with malfunctioning lights on the road. QC issues?
I just don't trust the Nissan brand (among others, including Hyundai/KIA). I would love to see a nice, sporty trim level Mazda2 hatch or Toyota Yaris hatch in the USA, but sadly It's not going to happen. Same with the Lexus LBX. If you like fun, premium versions of smaller vehicles (especially Japanese brands), then do NOT live in the USA (or Canada). 😥
I don’t trust Nissan’s CVT. They implode at 70 k miles. I wish they would build a reliable 8 speed auto or at least give a 10 year 100K mile warranty on the transmission if they want us to believe they really improved them. Can’t go wrong with any of the other Japanese brands though. Mazda is really hitting out of the park.
My Hyundai with under 10,000 miles was in repairs at dealer for 107 days. I had a rental Nissan. I found the Nissan build quality to be superior. $10,000 less than my Hyundai.
I agree, no more sub compact affordable cars greedy manufactures getting rid of budget options blaming customers doesnt want them.
I would like to see the same 👍good choices,
Cheap little cars are not that cheap - don’t get that much better gas mileage- and the USA is a big place to drive .. so most things you said are stupid..
