Is the 2023 Nissan Sentra S a BETTER sedan than a Toyota Corolla LE?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The Sentra is a compact sedan from Nissan. The "S" trim is the base model of the Sentra. On the outside you will discover standard LED headlights, color matched mirror caps and hubcaps. On the inside you will be greeted by cloth interior. Under the hood is a 2.0L inline-4 paired to a CVT. Is the 2023 Nissan Sentra S a BETTER sedan than a Toyota Corolla LE?

Definitely should add to your reminders to get a transmission fluid flush at 30k miles, these cvt are really sensitive, they will lose reliability if you even 35k
Loving the Nissan Sentra S I feel like if you're looking for attention to detail, you will not get that at $21,000. This isn't meant to be a Mercedes S class competitor.

I would buy a base Sentra over a base Corolla in a heartbeat. No questions asked. The Sentra has much more comfortable seats, a smoother ride and slightly more acceleration.

Man, times have changed. I bought my 2014 Acura TL tech in 2017, with low miles. It cost me $21,000 after tax, tag, and title.
i was thoroughly impressed with the sentra rental i got recently. it was the quietest small car i'd ever had the pleasure to drive. it handled like a race car but rode decently over most roads, albeit with the bigger bumps felt but never punishingly. at 90 miles per hour it sounded nearly as quiet as it did at 60. it had adequate power and could pass adequately at freeway speeds.
Joe, when is the other Taco reviews coming and the last LA auto show reviews sir? 🤔 I've been waiting eagerly 🤞
Nissan sentra is cute,affordable and durable....its engine adapt to different environments quickly...I am an African..
Have a 22 Sentra sv, great car! Super efficient and love the tech!
I wouldn't buy one for myself especially with a CVT but it would be great if you are sending a kid to college or if you are need a super cheap car to deliver food via Uber Eats or Doordash and you don't care if you put a bunch of miles on it. ------- Great review and Steven is doing a great job also and has come a long ways, I can remember when he first started doing video's on Raities Rides that he wasn't that steady with a camera and some of the videos were a bit on the shaky side but he is doing a lot better, maybe he is learning some tips from Lori (she's the best).

I guess you drove one to say this ? I own one (SR). I had all.kinds of different cars in the past, including expensive SUVs. The Sentra is surprisingly good. Good comfort, good ride, good looks, good space, good price. But hey, it's a Nissan, and we all know this is a brand that most self-proclaimed "experts" enjoy bashing (just like a few other brands for that matter). They will rather promote overrated products by Honda and Subaru for instance. Even Toyota has its fair share of problems, but hey, experts like them.
Love my 23 Sentra SR 🥰🚗
Mazda 3 sedan base ($24k) is definitely worth the higher monthly car note.
Love you Raiti, but if you can, go review one with a manual transmission....they can be found, just maybe 1 per 50 miles.
Corolla and civic will always be better, but I’d worry about that CVT with Nissan.
If I buy a Sentra, I would pay a bit more for the better looking SR trim

If you can find a Corolla..
yeah the Corolla and Civic have a CVT, but Nissan has been getting their CVTs at the Dollar Tree.
I just purchased a used 2022 Corolla LE for my 16 y/o daughter. I considered the Sentra but wanted a vehicle that will last her all the way through college and, well, Toyotas long term reliability record is head and shoulders better than Nissans. Only thing I did change with the Corolla is a I threw on some 18” SE trim alloy wheels which makes it look way more sporty. I have one very happy daughter.
For an apples to apples comparison the Sentra SV would be closer to the Corolla LE.
As a Nissan guy I’m disappointed in that cvt is obnoxiously annoying

For the $, Nice. I remember my first new vehicle, Ford Ranger XL, manual tranz, short box, regular cab, with a tape player.
Silver and black, two colors I would never buy. Boring and hot in the summer. Decent car for a daily regardless.
I wish that Nissan would bring back the stanza that was a good car I had one.

Have driven this Nissan 2.0NA, and it simply needs more power. Nissan needs to drop in the 1.5T from the Rogue, make it a Sentra SE-R, and this would be a lot more competitive.
Second…Me too..
Better have a manual option.
@mikedaleiden7725

Its a shame no manual. The older generations w/ the 1.8 and 6m/t will run forever w/ basic maintenance and were quicker off the line.
"On throttle" from a stop is not effective for this car. If you just give it a 1/4 throttle it takes off like a slingshot. Seats are hard if you lack padding in the derriere. I purchased thin memory foam pads off temu. Now the seats are acceptle for long drives
You seemed like you were having trouble coming up with compliments for the Sentra lol. I would too.
Toyota has a more reliable cvt but if the compact sedans had an manual option at low spec trim you got my attention
Acura integra cost $13000 more and the back seat don't have nothing 😅
Please, next time list the price differences.
I wish they offered it with a manual in the US, only Canadians get it unfortunately

Not bad for $21 k
Looks like something from the 90’s. Glad it’s not coming to 🇬🇧

The only zunk is the gear box
Can't compare this to a Corolla
This is the joke u can buy new jetta base for $22000
Nissan CVT is garbage. But good looking affordable vehicle.
You see Toyota has a fist gear take off in there cvts
You didn't use sports mode you don't seem impressed with it
