The Nissan Sentra is a very good city car due to its small size. It can be parked comfortably in almost any small space, either on the street or otherwise. It is on par with other economy cars in its class and, while stylish, has its share of squeaks and rattles. The engine is adequate, however the CVT automatic transmission dulls some of the available horsepower, and the trunk is small - it cannot even fit two bags of golf clubs without stuffing them in. While the car can fit five people it's best used on short trips because leg room in the back is practically nonexistent, not to mention the downward sloping roof is subpar for taller passengers. The interior finish is logical and well-organized, however the cabin contains more far more plastic than the average economy car. On the flip side, it is a reliable vehicle and will consistently return ~35 mpg on long trips due to the CVT running the engine at lower revs than a conventional transmission. It is probably the most stylish economy car out there, and has turned many heads since I purchased the car 3 years ago.

We purchased a used black 2016 Nissan Sentra in 2017. So far we have had no mechanical issues with the car, which is good. However, I would be greatly distressed if we had run into any issues as the car only has 35k miles on it. The car is a nice size and easy to drive with the exception of snowy weather where is struggles a bit. The car is also not the smoothest ride. It tends to shake a little bit when driven over 60mph.
