Nissan Sentra - 2006 Review

The 2006 Nissan Sentra was the last year the Nissan Company produced this particular model design.  The 07 and later models have an updated body and new engine design.  I was able to get a great deal on this car new because the new model was arriving soon.  For the money, I am very happy with the car.  As a note, I have the 1.8S automatic transmission special edition version of the car.

The interior is spacious, for a compact car, in the front seat area.  The back seats are tight but adequate for children.  I am 6'1'' and the driver's seat and controls are comfortable for me.  Too much taller would probably start to get uncomfortable. 

I use the car for highway driving and get about 37-40MPG at 65mph.  I have had to have it down to 45 on the hwy because of weather and got 44MPG at that speed.  I live in a flat area, which probably contributes to the higher than expected MPG.  In the city it gets around 30-32MPG. 

At 45,000 miles, it has been reliable and steady.  I had to have the ignition timing reprogrammed, but that has been all aside from scheduled maintainence.
