Cons Turbos aren’t much fun Vague 6-speed manual Droning CVT Leisurely acceleration in most models Top-end trims are costly
The 2019 Nissan Sentra doesn't attract much attention. It's not as popular in terms of sales as other top small sedans, and it's fair to say that its styling isn't as memorable. But depending on your needs, it could still be worth a look.
Pros Spacious back seat and trunk for the class Priced lower than many rivals User-friendly control layout
Cons Slow acceleration on most models Lacks the latest in infotainment design and safety features The seats aren't particularly suitable for taller drivers Less engaging driving experience than many competitors

Cons Outdated sedan CarPlay only on hatch CVT can drone Shop the competition
