Nissan Sentra 2021

Clean vehicle, smooth drive and great on gas. There was the continuous issue with the Bluetooth disconnecting, volume randomly cutting out and monitor powering down which affected the power source for charging devices, but I was given directions for a workaround to get it back up each time it would go out, so that helped.
