@devildog5354- have you driven the recent Subaru CVT? Especially in the Crosstrek with the bigger motor? You will be surprised!. It doesn’t hold max RPM like this Sentra does. Foot to the floor acceleration, even out of sport mode the transmission has shift points. It can take that because it’s solely built by Subaru. The shifting does maximize the torque of the motor vs redlining. It sounds decent. It also has a sport mode that makes a difference. The Wilderness models get the transmission out of the Outback if I remember right and are enabled for towing up to 3500 lbs. the Outback can only tow 2700 lbs with the same transmission. Not all CVTs are the same. I used to say they all were absolutely crap!! I was extremely biased, especially with towing! I learned that there are the Subaru CVTs that have come a long way and I believe lead the pack right now. We have one because my wife wanted to downsize, but hated the CorollaCross, just didn’t like anything except the Subaru Crosstrek. She loves it! Went from a Grand Cherokee 4xe to a Crosstrek Limited (in Canada) and she is happy!! I really don’t mind driving it even. It’s no one of my 4x4 trucks, but it’s not meant to be.

I have a 2020 Corolla with the CVT and I’m more used to that now than all of our other vehicles with 6-9 speed transmission’s. I love the gas mileage as I live on the west coast now and that’s expensive. I’ve had 4 vehicles with cvts now and I’ve had 0 issues. Of course all of them were Toyota built CVTs so they haven’t been problematic for us. And they actually have a launch gear that works quite flawlessly in my opinion and helps take the stress off of the initial launch of the car.

Aisin is getting better, but has not been problem free for Toyota. Problem free for you. For every broken unit there are 60 to as high as 98 other units that have not broken. 60% rate of survival would be abysmal, but then so is anything less than 95%. It often sounds like all the units are failing, or all the vehicles have the same problem, but it depends on the end use, most Corollas Judson drive & they don’t tow anything, but once you get into SUVs, that’s not the case. Towing builds heat fast in a CVT, and that’s the main problem.

Audi a3. Easy. Least expensive but most reliable audi. So you have the least to lose off depriciation. Dont buy the other audis unless its an suv because they dont try to go like r8 on them they become so expensive and unreliable. But the suvs cost a lot youll lose more in depriciation so i say audi a3. 35k starting you got it for 40, drive it 10 years sell it for 19,999.98 and you lose 2k a year in depriciation. On the contrary, you buy a new camry for 30k+ as well now, if you get it for 30, you drive it for ten years sell it for 14,999.98 and you lost 15k in depriciation. So you upgrade to the a3 and you only lose a little more in depriciation comparatively since theyre closer to similar prices compared to like an f150 f250. But for that slight extra loss over ten years you have better tech by a lot. Clesrly higher quality but also advancment whuch does effect reliability but i mean toyota is highly advanced now too theyre not all that more reliable anymore. Its not as bad as I thought it would be witu the audi a3 but i wouldnt buy an r8 unless i hit the lottery and didnt care anymore. The a3 is audis least expensive most reliable vehicle. I say its better than a camry except it cost some more and you might want a budget for maintinance if you plan on owning it over 10 years. Or at least thats what i say. A brand new 99 corolla will be more reliable sure but it doesnt have as good of tech cost considerably less because of it. Plus they dont even make em now and the new corollas arent even close to the same quakity as the old ones and also more advanced and junk now. With their cvts Audi a3 makes toyota tech look so old. A3 probably not as reliable as the new camry because its a 2.5 L Na hybrid but the a3 is also a 4 cylinder but its more like a honda with the turbo and also a semi hybrid so i mean toyota sells trucks with plastic beds dude what even kind of reliability is that?!?! Honda sells civic with plastic holding the top of the engine together its sprining leaks at 3000 miles. Honda reliability is gone too. The audi a3 isnt that much less unreliable if youre owning it for 10 years for example. You can say its unreliable low quality but the "ultra reliable civic" has a launchgear cvt and the top of the engine is held together by plastic. The audi a3 is a 7 speed sooooooooo its better. But you pay up compared to corolla. its from germany with the autobahn its electronically limited to 150mph you could go faster with a little adjusting with the laptop but it isnt good idea i say you want it stock so its as reliable as it can be. It weighs a good amount not too heavy or light but just right. The doors are very big and strong like toyotas USED to be. I am still not trusting of higher end audi reliability because the more you spend with audi the more advanced they go the more power they try to suck out and less reliable they get. The a3 however is audis most real world car its the one they want to sell to people upgrading from camrys and accords they need it to be more reliable eventhough its level of advancment is questionable, its actually comparable to these "reliable" vehicles toyota honda and ford is putting out and even arguably better in quality. Theyre doing v6 twin turbo hybrid tundra and v6 twin turbo ranger. 1 turbo more reliable than 2. Soooo... Toyota isnt out of the ring with that either. Theyre not reliable like they were. their 2.5L camry hybrid has 8 injectors on 4 cylinders so i mean reliability is a facade at that point anyway so its not really all that different tbh. A3 isnt built in usa. Theyre built in germany and sent over on a boat. Thats better than a ford made in mexico is it not? A corolla made in japan isnt as good or reliable as an a3 made in germany admit it dude!!! Launchgear cvt vs 7 speed. Pay up sucka its worth it. A3 so good. Audu 7 speed will be more reliable than ford and toyotas 8 and 10 speeds and more reliable than honda and toyotas launchgear cvt. Am i wrong? Am I wrong?

I am a contractor in Aspen / Glenwood Springs. Right in the mountains. I drive a 2 wheel drive Ford Transit Van 250. For the past 8 years I get by just fine with 2 wheel drive. I install new studded snow tires every fall and have no problems with getting stuck

Great car (with the manual) for the money. 100,000 sold in 2023 is excellent. 500,000 between the Sentra, Corolla and Civic is HUGE! Another 500,000 between Camry and Accord not to mention the Koreans and Germans. Ppl are clearly still buying sedans/saloons. However, we can't blame Roman for his opinions on this car.

So it was very affordable.

Learned to drive on a 1994 nissan sentra with a 5 speed (it was brand new at the time). Such an awesome little car. Fast enough, great mpg, plenty of room. Later owned a 97 sentra which was a nice cheap little car (that did rust out like crazy years later).

I had an 03 Sentra that I drove 30k a year until it was nearly wore out. Pre-CVT! The look of this new gen is much improved over the last gen.

The B13 SER is where it was at! Which put out 140hp in 1990! That SR should be a 180hp engine easy.

It does have a "sport" button , it is the small button with a horizontal white line in the back of the gear shifter

Thats a really nice car i think... Rides good, looks good, nice mpg, "fair price", pretty good powertrain, and no super small turbo charged engine.

had a 2010s spec v in college, great, fun and reliable, had zero issues with it mechanically. traded it as a down payment on a camaro ss back in 16. if it hadn't gotten absolutely torn up in a hail storm I would still have it though.

Not a bad commutermobile. I thought the seats were really good compared to the Corolla and Civic. It also helps that you can probably get a decent discount off sticker. That's why they sell in good volume.

To answer your guy's question, the FWD Audi A4 from the 2002-2016 was equipped with a CVT transmission. The Quattro models still used a conventional automatic or dual clutch transmission depending on model year.

I’m team Nathan on this one. While I respect opinion, I also respect good journalism and professionalism. Nathan was doing a great job pointing out some of the features and design elements of the Sentra. Roman made it awkward by disagreeing with everything Nathan was saying and then deflecting anything positive into an irrelevant point. Im not trying to hate on Roman as I’ve been watching their videos since they started on KZread, and have always loved watching them. But this seemed more of a matter of a biased opinion rather than a fair presentation on a rather good looking vehicle with good features. Nate broke up his review with things he liked and things he thought could use some thought. Also if you have become one of the many that are obsessed with trucks and SUVs and ONLY trucks and SUVs then please stick to that. There are still people out here that appreciate small and practical FWD commuters for what they have done for decades. If you are a decent driver you can easily get by with good snow tires and FWD. you said it yourself when you drove the F-150 and the Subaru Outback with Tommy that you guys felt more control in the Subaru with good snow tires than even the F-150. And I myself am not ready to purchase and maintain a truck. I didn’t need a truck when I lived in Colorado and I sure as hell don’t need one in Oregon. I was there all winter and my Corolla got me everywhere I needed to go. I drove it from Bottineau ND down to Denver CO, back up to Bottineau, then back down to Denver by myself again no problem in February in my FWD Corolla SE. you don’t NEED a truck or SUV with AWD, you want one. And I get it, but please, this is a car that most people could get by with for daily transport around town, to and from work, to school and back again. It will do that very well, and if you drive well and have good tires you’ll be just fine!

I don't believe he would not have a say in how he contributes ti the channel. Maybe he is living farthest or his wife might not be as accommodating for his long absence from the family, we will never know. Tommy is naturally the successor because he's much younger and it would be folly for a successful company like TFL not to have in place successors who will continue to build the channel. If you should bring some Joe public who do not share the same goals and MO that make TFL successful they would take the company in a different direction which cou;d fail. Back of the class with you..

THIS IS MUCH NICER THAN A TOYOTA COROLLA AND HAS A ROOMIER BACK SEAT. I THINK THE SENTRA SR IS BETTER LOOKING THAN THE COROLLA TOO AND IN TOP TRIM UNDER CUTS IT ON PRICE AND GIVES YOU A 360 CAMERA. THE INTERIOR FEELS FAR MORE UPSCALE IN THE SENTRA THAN THE COROLLA AND AFTER SITTING IN THE COROLLA XSE AND THE SENTRA SR PREMIUM IT FELT NIGHT AND DAY TO ME HOW MUCH NICER THE SENTRA INTERIOR LOOKED AND FELT.

Sentra is much cheaper than Corolla in all trims. Here in Dallas, Nissan dealers are giving a $5000 discount on all new 2024 Nissan Sentras. On the other hand, Toyota dealers are still charging full MSRP on new 2024 Corollas. So big price difference

it does have sport mode

I'm too lazy to search. Is this a direct or port injected engine?

According to Wiki, the MR20DD engine in this Sentra is Direct Injection only.

10:42 the sport button is right on the sifter lol

Turning over a new Leaf . . . hmmmm Nissan makes the Leaf. - The push button and the 'fake' PRNDL works for me. - Oh, GL, Roman, it's an econobox. Let It Go! Good job, Nathan, as usual!

The sport button is on the shifter.

I had one in 2003 SR spect with 2 pips 6 speed in red the only down side that it was made in Japan

Did they say that Nissan is now offering a manual transmission on the Sentra...?

I have a 2017 Nissan Sentra with over 125,000 miles on it and bought it new with 27 miles. I've had no issue with CVT and its been overall solid. I just think that I would much rather have a Sentra over a Honda but maybe consider a Corolla or Camry. I just think they did really improve the CVT in 2017 so its good to see that they got better as the years went on. I would not buy a new one but I could consider a used one as long as the cvt has been serviced. As far as Roman being extremely negative is sad. There are people who cannot afford a Mercedes G wagon and a truck. Just over realistic for the average consumer who does not have that kind of cash to afford a oversized gas guzzler.

Idk why ppl think Nissan cars are bad. Tbh I love my 2023 Nissan Altima 2.0 SR. I had a 2019 Accord EXL, and honestly the Nissan ride quality and build quality is better.

I like how Nathan calls Roman out a bit. Stop being cranky. Maybe it’s his ego getting in the way. Not all can roll in a Range Rover.

I mean jts one of the crappest cars for sale. People buy them who cant afford a corolla or theyre abusive and dont want to pay more to just wrack up miles abusing a civic. This car is for highschoolers whos parents can afford new yet dont want to spend to much bdcause they know their daughter is about to rear end someone or into something

You didn't use sports mode - button back shifter

I own a 2020 Maxima, Nissan makes very good cars, the Sentra is an exceptionally reliable comfortable car, but it’s stupidly under powered, it needs 200 hp,,,,149hp is lethargic, charge $3K more and put in a turbo

Thanks!

For an economy class car, the design and fit and finish all look very good at the price point. Nissan was brave to try out CVT and now most CVTs are reliable.

I just looked and you can’t get that car with a manual.

Roman is correct he isn't old.

100K……. But 90K of them were to rental fleets 😂

One thing I wouldn't knock the Sentra on is design. Nissan nailed the exterior and interior styling on this one.

I think this is a great looking car. If Nissan would only offer a manual. Love my 18 Titan Pro4X.

Yup. 100% available with a manual.

Too expensive for what you get that is a 21k car and anyone that pays MSRP on that is nuts. You can get a Toyota Camry LE and maybe an SE for that maybe a couple grand more and get a way better car. I saw a 2022 Avalon today with an MSRP of 28k yeah it was used, but had low miles and that Avalon would run circles around that Sentra and last 3 times longer. There are better options out there IMO. Great review on the car though you guys did a good review.

Looks better than toyota and honda but it's still a Nissan. I'd get corolla hatch if I had to put up with this class.

I thought it was called SE-R Spec V?

Just tried "build and price" on the Nissanusa site and CVT is standard on all models - at least here in the U.S. I don't see a way in which to option any of the models with the manual unfortunately.

Corolla has like the most dated interior of any modern car sold in 2024. He should sit in that and then this Sentra

I don't see why they don't make a sports version of this car. With the Corolla Gr and the Civic Si why not bring back the SE-R with a nice manual transmission?

Its a cute car, put a turbo and id be all in.

0:11 IMO it is not. however I will say from a value standpoint it is hard to ignore. if you don't give a lick about driving dynamics, the price difference between this and the civic can be hard to justify.

I guess Canada gets a 6-speed manual option. Bummer it's not available here.

If it had at least a 7-Spd auto & 200hp, it’ll definitely be a hitter.

As someone who was a young man back in the day; I never came close to lusting after a Sentra of any kind

I see what Nathan was trying to say "turning over a new leaf" Nissan Sentra...Nissan Leaf 😂

He said no one is putting soft touch on the door??? Civic and corolla have soft touch materials on the door. The civic and corolla are such better cars inside and out and reliability and resale.

Sport button on shifter

It’s a fine Sentra, the only problem is there is nothing SR about it!

If it had awd I would pick one up

i bought my wife a 2004 sentra brand new. to quote her "the corolla is ugly, id rather have a sentra". it was trash and traded in after two years

My first car was a 96 Sentra.
