Pros: What do you like about 2006 Nissan Sentra?
Gas mileage is good for a small car made after 2000. I had a 96 Sentra that was rated at 30 city 40 highway and this one is 24 and 31. My 97 never averaged below 35 and I got almost 60 in it on a road trip and that was with 269k miles on it.
But the new engines are more powerful, they can get up a hill without being floored and sounding like a weedeater like the 96. So I will take a drop in my mpgs for this because it is safer when getting on highway (I average 27 in 06).
Interior is a little plain but makes for less to break. Front seats are comfy. Rear is too small to be for many.
Trunk has lots of room.
Quiet operation and lots of city power for small sedan.
Engine compartment is spacious in 1.8 engine cars. I don't know about 2.5 versions.
Console is laid out good and special edition look is great.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Nissan Sentra?
Wheels without hub caps (as in full rims) standard, not steel wheels (not a big deal; those just look better to me).
Better paint (scratches rather easy, heard they fixed this in 07).
More room in rear.
Better fuel pump (can make for hard starts, but only every now and then).
2006 Nissan Sentra Review:
Great investment. I have had 2 Nissans before and never had major issues with them. Nissan in my opinion makes best cars on road and you should be served great if you buy one. All my complaints are minor and don't keep me from loving my little sedan.

2006 Nissan Sentra Review:
I've put 40K over 5 years without a single problem. I have to move the passenger seat all the way up for someone to sit in back, but I bought it for commuting, so no big deal to me. The SE-R has plenty of power and gets close to its hwy miles (avg 27 mpg).

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Nissan Sentra?
Good gas mileage.....
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Nissan Sentra?
I bought this car about a year ago, and I really regret it. I say that because I needed it at the time that the gas prices were at $5.00 and I was driving at least 30 miles to work everyday in a big suv, so it was good at that time. But now I have a different job 5 miles from my house and have two kids and no leg room. My 7 year old son has to sit with his legs crossed just so he can fit in the back seat. The cupholders suck big time, they will only hold a can because the stereo is in the way.....

Move the cupholders back and a better sub for the sound package.
2006 Nissan Sentra Review:
Overall great car and keeps its value relatively well. I test drove a 2007 Civic EX and chose to keep my Sentra because I like the feel of the Sentra better.
