2013 Nissan Sentra: First Drive Review

The 2013 Nissan Sentra is offered with one engine and a choice of two transmissions. The engine is a new 1.8-liter 4-cylinder that puts out 130 horsepower and 128 lb-ft of torque. In the base trim it is paired with 6-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable automatic. The CVT is standard on all others.

Environmental fuel-economy ratings are 27 mpg city/36 mpg highway with the manual transmission and 30 mpg city/39 mpg highway with the CVT. Buyers can also opt for an FE+ package that improves CVT fuel economy to 30 mpg city/40 mpg highway.

The new breed of compact cars has raised the bar for interior quality. The new Sentra hits those heights in some ways and misses in others. The materials are highlighted by a soft-touch dashboard and padded armrests on the doors. The electroluminescent gauges are also unexpected in a compact car. Most of the other materials are hard plastic, but that's still expected in this class.

Nissan also boasts that the Sentra offers technology beyond its class, including the NissanConnect system, a Bose audio system and dual-zone automatic climate control. While all of those features are nice, the other new cars in the compact class offer similar equipment. NissanConnect features a 5.8-inch touch screen and a navigation system with real-time traffic and weather information. It pairs with phones to stream audio via Bluetooth or Pandora Internet radio. It also reads back text messages and lets drivers respond with predetermined messages.

The Sentra offers a lot of interior room for its compact size. The front seats have plenty of travel so taller drivers can get comfortable, and a standard tilt/telescoping steering wheel makes it easy to achieve an optimal driving position. Unfortunately, the driver's seat is too flat to offer any real support, and the front passenger seat is worse. The rear seat is among the roomiest in the class. Adult passengers will fit behind adults comfortably. That's seldom the case with compact cars.

Positive Review on DealerRater!

"Ryan went above and beyond to try and help me get this car I so very much liked. He was professional and friendly the entire time. He even kept checking up with me to make sure that a small problem I had with the car was getting handled. I would recommend Ryan Kiffer to any of my family or friends if they are looking for a new car." -Kenny Ross Ford South customer
