We Say Goodbye to Our Long Term 2024 Nissan Sentra After 3 Months
We are closing the curtains on our 2024 Nissan Sentra Long Term, after finishing out its 3-month show.
We’ve tallied 6,700 MotorWeek miles on the odometer, more than 3,700 miles since our last update. After numerous stints out to the Delaware shore and an extended week down in western North Carolina, everyone has complimented its nimble nature, capable of safely slicing through traffic.
That’s also thanks to the powertrain; sure, the CVT does skip a beat on sudden acceleration, but passing power is good for the 2.0-liter inline-four. 149 horsepower may not sound like much, but it’s plenty for this compact.
We’ve spent a lot of seat time in this Sentra and now that it’s coming to an end, we’re going to miss its adaptability as a commuter and a long-hauler. We even managed to have a little fun with it. Now, it’s certainly not a speedster, but this Sentra does have a sport-tuned suspension, which definitely added some confidence during our spirited back road adventures.
It’s fun to push, but some more reserved driving has led us to even better efficiency: 34.5 mpg combined, again better than the EPA estimate.
Our gripes with the Sentra are minimal, including the buzzy CVT and smartphone connectivity issues. In our time with it, maintenance was limited to a 10,000-mile service call— just oil and a tire rotation, nothing major.
All in all, our 2024 Nissan Sentra, with models starting in the low $20,000s and ending up, like our well-equipped SR model, around $30,000, proved to be a true bargain, and a pleasure to drive.
