Buy a Civic instead.

Sentras aren't awful cars but the build quality is pretty poor and those CVTs are hot garbage. Just buy a Civic and rest.

mmb:
ok, thanks.
Is it all sentra that have cvt issue?

HeavenlyBang:


Yes. Unless you buy a manual.

TPound:


I beg to disagree.... The reason why you think CVT transmissions are garbage is because they are actually destroyed by the owners themselves. CVT transmission is actually the best but because the transmission oil spec is a lil pricey, and as Nigerians, they tend to use "aleternative" transmission oil which is less pricey, hence, the transmission got it's death sentence immediately such is used. That's why some people cringe when being offered Murano, maxima, quest rogue, quashqai and finally, sentra... Left to me, buy it and make sure you use the specified oils.
You will definitely thank me later

Nissan CVTs are garbage, it's a universally known fact. Has nothing to do with maintenance, they're just unreliable and tend to die by themselves. It's a bit like the DCT auto on the Ford Focus.

Not all CVTs are bad. The CVTs on recent Honda's are fine, but Nissan's definitely aren't.
