I comment positively on SentraÕs roomy-for-its-size cabin, upscale feature content, a solid and sturdy drive, good ride quality, and low noise levels. By most accounts, including some from your correspondent, this generation of Sentra appealed strongly in how it drives and feels like a bigger car. Audiophiles enjoyed the up-level Bose stereo system, and driving enthusiasts appreciated the availability of a manual transmission, even on higher-grade units. Mileage is also highly rated. Gripes include ride-quality degradation on very rough roads, and limited headroom for taller occupants on models with the sunroof. Some owners wish for sharper handling and steering feel, too.

The 2019 Nissan Sentra is an underrated surprise. When I first got the vehicle, I was skeptical of Nissans, but needed a vehicle with good mileage and looked new and not like a bug car. At 39 mpg it is excellent on saving money on gas. Upon getting in to drive it for the first time, I immediately noticed the quietness of the engine. It has almost no sound until you rev up the car. The power isn't going to blow anyone away but it can still get to 60 mph in decent time. The dashboard was modern looking with a seamless user interface and backup camera. Though it is an economy vehicle, Nissan managed to put in quality parts and components. This is why I am impressed with the car. I didn't expect to get as much as I got for the money and by this maker. It certainly doesn't have the feel of an economy ride. Bluetooth, AUX input and satellite radio are some of the entertainment features included. When I leave home playing music through my Bluetooth speaker, it automatically transfers what is playing on my speaker to the car stereo when I enter the vehicle. Love it!
