3,000-Mile Update in our Long Term 2024 Nissan Sentra
2024/11/02

We’re back with the second update on our 2024 Nissan Sentra. Despite winter closing in fast, this bright orange compact sedan is staving off our seasonal depression.

And that starts with a pleasant, but not totally-unexpected surprise. Remember in our first update when we said we’d aim for that EPA-estimated 33 Combined miles-per-gallon rating? Well, at 33.5 MPG of Regular, we’ve exceeded it. And that’s after nearly 3,000 miles added in about six weeks’ time.

Also exceeding expectations is the drive itself. One log book comment harps on just how fun it is to drive, even commuting, with great reserve power and, while a tad light, a precise steering setup. The comment concludes with, quote, “20 years ago, most sport sedans didn’t behave this well.”

Considering how long some of our staffers have been MotorWeek reviewers… it’s safe to take their word for it. And in the driver’s seat, it’s readily apparent.

“This Sentra is pegged as a commuter car, but we’ve taken a number of long trips with it recently and it’s surprisingly fit for the open road. The increased dimensions compared to previous Sentras keep it from feeling cramped inside and its road manners at highway speeds are improved as well.”

In and out, our 2024 Nissan Sentra has been an excellent compact for whatever we’ve asked it to do, and so far no glaring faults. We’ll keep you in the loop if anything comes to mind.
