2014 Nissan Sentra Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
The Nissan Sentra offers a smooth, quiet ride and about as much passenger (and cargo) room as you'll find in a compact sedan. Open the door, and the SL's leather-trimmed interior appears luxurious. Sit down, though, and the illusion crumbles. Unlike those in the Altima, the Sentra's flat, firm seats provide little in the way of comfort or support. A tilt adjustment for the driver seat would help, but one is not offered. The Civic's seats aren't much cushier, but their shape provides better support. For the best seats in the segment, check out the Chevrolet Cruze and Ford Focus. see full Nissan Sentra review |

2014 Nissan Sentra Powertrain: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
Nissan did nothing to make the Sentra's engine stronger for 2014, so powertrain performance remains the top reason not to buy one. Aided by a continuously variable transmission (CVT), the 130-horsepower 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine motivates the 2,800-pound Sentra well enough, if much less quickly than the 173-horsepower 2.0-liter engine in the Forte EX, or the 184-horsepower engine in the pricier Mazda3 s. But the CVT gets the most out of the Sentra's weak engine by revving it to a high rpm and holding it there. The way the CVT varies engine speed it has the feel of a slipping transmission. For 2014 Nissan has partially addressed this. If you accelerate for maximum efficiency or maximum acceleration, the transmission behaves the same as before. Under moderately heavy acceleration, though, it mimics a conventional automatic transmission, gradually increasing engine speed, then dropping it, then gradually increasing it again. Also, as noted above, changes have been made to reduce (but not nearly eliminate) the unseemly racket emanating from beneath the hood. see full Nissan Sentra review |
