Winter Tire Installed!!!! 2023 NISSAN SENTRA S PLUS!!!!!APPLE CAR PLAY AND ANDROID AUTO!!!!Fresh new!!!!! THE CHOICE OF THE ECONOMY!!!!! The compact Nissan Sentra's value proposition is simplicity itself: it looks and feels more expensive than it is and offers a host of desirable features, all for a low sticker price. Just don't expect it to be fun to drive. Its price advantage over its compact-class competitors grows significantly in the higher trim levels, but its performance remains torpid because all Sentras are equipped with a weakling 149-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and continuously variable transmission driving their front wheels. Neither a manual transmission nor all-wheel drive are available. Competitors like the Mazda 3 and Honda Civic offer engines with considerably more punch and are more engaging to pilot but what the Sentra lacks in thrills it makes up for with its good looks, myriad safety features, a comfy ride, and excellent fuel economy. No doubt, that makes it attractive enough for many value-seeking small-car shoppers. Every Sentra is powered by a 149-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that pairs with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive. While the gearless automatic simulates traditional gearchanges, it doesn't alter the fact that the Sentra we tested was noisy and slow, especially when trying to pass at highway speeds. There's not a lot of entertainment behind the wheel, either. Steering effort is weighty and predictable, but it's nowhere near as communicative as in rivals such as the Honda Civic and Mazda 3. The Nissan features an independent rear suspension and wheel sizes that range from 16 to 18 inches. The version we drove rolled on the largest set, which contributed to a firm ride quality and excessive road noise. Still, the Sentra is comfortable and compliant for daily commutes and weekend trips. We were especially impressed with its braking system. It delivered reassuring pedal feel and solid stopping power from 70 mph, coming to a halt in a class-competitive 170 feet.
