If you own a 2007 Sentra, how reliable/dependable has it been? Do you have any information for a potential buyer (my wife and I) who actually really like the car but are disappointed by the Sentra's poor reliability history? 2007 is a new design, but no longer-term reliability information is available yet. Any advice appreciated!!

I am averaging 32MPG lately on my commute of 40 miles each way including a lot of stop and go. I am averaging 80 minutes for 40 miles so you do the math. With my previous Toyota Echo (2001) I would average 41 to 42 MPG. I believe a Corolla would achieve close to 38 MPG on the same commute, based on a 1 week use of a rental Corolla. The Corolla is a lighter, less powerful car. The only complaint I have so far is that the plastics used in the dash and door scratch very easily. A trim piece that surrounds part of the driver side door opening is loosing paint over a 15 inch long area. This is where I touch with my hip every time I enter or leave the car. So this area looks worn like in a 5 year old car.

Fix the Sentra - WardsAuto Nissan will need to change trim levels and make some exterior changes IMO. |

I'm experiencing a rattling sound either by the dash or the front passenger pillar. It's really annoying, and just curious is it worth taking to the dealer or just fixing it myself?

I have a rattle/flapping sound that I hear most often at about 40mph. It seems to be coming from the rear of the vehicle. I do hear it sometimes at lower speeds, but not as often. It doesn't seem to be vibration related as it happens on roads that seem smooth to me, but the seat may be dampening the vibrations out. Also I have not noticed it at higher than say 50mph but road and wind noise may account for that. I have not noticed it at less than 35mph or so. I can't tell if it is an updraft causing the license plate to "slap", it is the trunk lid is rattling on the catch, or if it is something else. There doesn't seem to be anything hanging down loose and the splash guards and spoiler seem tight. I am at a loss on this one.

Does anyone know who to disable the AC compressor when using defrost? On another forum I read a "hack" to disable de AC compressor. As running the AC increases fuel consumption I would like to disable de AC once the front window is clear. |

Hi. I just bought the 2007 Sentra yesterday. I got the base model, the 2.0. It was used. I got it with 13,950 miles on it. I paid $13,495 for it, plus tax. I love driving it so far. Of course, I'm coming from having a 1995 Honda Accord that I absolutely drove into the ground, so maybe my views are a little skewed. Anyway, I've noticed the rattling noise when you accelerate that people seem to be talking about. It tapers off a lot after you've stopped accelerating. That seems to be the only flaw I can find with the car so far. I love the exterior design and the interior feels twice as roomy as the Corolla I test drove the same day yesterday. Does anyone think that $13,500 was a good price for a one-year-old Sentra? Did I pay too much? Thoughts? |
