2009 NISSAN SENTRA OFFICIAL REVIEW (PICTURE OF ACTUAL CAR I DROVE)

Ok, for years I been watching Vince Burlapp's test drives, and now that I am driving more i can better help you with your next car, or even your first car. The last test drive i did for you was in 2008 with the all new Volkswagen rabbit (revived from the 80's), yea, when I wasn't even around. So since 2008, I give you ny latest test drive of the 2009 nissan sentra (in 2010 yes)that's the closest i got to 2010, but hey they are only a year apart. I will do new test drives and used tesdrives to give you a variety, because not everybody buys a new car.

So the nissan sentra is a very popular car because of its famous CVT transmission. its very smooth. It comes with a built in mp3 jack , 4 speed automatic. 2.0L 140 HP.

HIGHS

Like i said, smooth car, 4 speed auto, CVT transmission, mp3 jack, STANDARD. Interior quality feels good to the touch, (its no Volkswagen before they redesigned the 2011 Volkswagen Jetta), but its no Chinese piece of crap either. So interior quality is GREAT, its there no doubt. seats are plush and comfortable, radio console doesn't look busy, but at the same time doesn't look plain. Now remember this is a $17, 000 compact car, so thats not bad for the STANDARD FEATURES available on the base model. Spacious trunk, fuel effiicent, and the more i look at the shape of the car, the more i love it. It really makes me think of it as a small Altima.

LOWS

The air conditioner- when it has to be maintained, it sounds like a BIG ASS rattle, like the whole car shakes, but then again consider that there was THE VERY FIRST OWNER who had the car before me, so its not always the dealer its good judgement of the driver care for the car. rear set room is a lil small, but again think compact car. but new compact cars such as the 2011 Chevy cruze and the 2012 Ford focus have solved that problem, So wait until the full redeseign of the nissan sentra.As of right now for 2010, Nissan has a minor face lift of the Sentra with new trim level names.

Engine sound- This depends on the driver. I feel if the car was smooth (which it was) the the engine sound should be fine, so i was satisfied.

CONCLUSION

So would I buy this car? for a second car yes I would, for a first car? I ts great for a starter car considering all the features that a young person like me would want in terms of media, comfort, but since i know a little more about cars than the average young person, by taste i would want a full size sedan. I had fun for the past 4 days test driving this car. I love it because I love Nissan's engines and structure period.
