Pros: What do you like about 2011 Nissan Sentra?
Really like the specs and great price for what you get.
Also love how quite the car is and how smooth on any road surface.
Good audio system.
Seat was very nice and soft - not too hard like many other car makers.
Was able to get 42 mpg going to work if you take it really easy around 60 mph. I generally get 33 overall city and highway.
Love the cup holder location, large trunk and glove dept. and love the looks of the sr model which has more features at the same price as the s model.
Nice that they added lots of abs and stability control features.
Cons: How would you improve 2011 Nissan Sentra?
Cons would be the location of the ipod connection.
Back view is not that great with the pillars.
Takes a while to get off the line and get the revs up with the cvt.
No button to get in to the trunk unless you have the convenience package and I would recommend getting it.
2011 Nissan Sentra Review:
I was looking for a cheap lease and this car could not be beat for 139 month and very little down on sr model. Had tons of features and was great for the family and going to work. Not a car for performance but more for practical driving. Very happy with purchase, can't wait to see what they come up with for 2013. Hope it is even better.

Pros: What do you like about 2011 Nissan Sentra?
Steering, engine power and fuel efficiency are excellent for city driving.
Also Everything is very accessible for cleaning and maintenance.
Cons: How would you improve 2011 Nissan Sentra?
Huge blind spots at each pillars where the windows are and the frame makes the driver nearly impossible to judge if the car is straight especially when you're backing up slowly.
Also the new ABS system they came up with 2011 model takes a while to get used to. It basically increases the strength of brakes exponentently and electrically releases itself as "anti skid" while I'm just stopping at red lights normally.
2011 Nissan Sentra Review:
I am used to driving old military trucks, a minivan and parents' cars and by far this is the best car that I have driven performance wise.
The exterior is actually descent looking and very easy to clean/wax. For its size it has a lot of blindspots but since I'm used to it I personally have no problem but the brakes always feel weird.
I recommend this car for experienced drivers, the new drivers who seldom check the blindspots should stay away from it.

Handling (steering, brakes, acceleration).
Seatbelt and headrest comfort.

2011 Nissan Sentra Review:
This car was not on my radar when we went shopping and good thing I never knew how some professional (?) reviewers rated it or may never have considered it.
I tried both Ford and Hyundai models first and the headrests instantly dug into the back of my head. Even the more expensive Nissan Altima headrest was not comfortable. Salesman then had me sit in the Sentra which was the first seat I tried in a new car that I felt comfortable in.
Test drive was a dream. So easy to handle. Our 2 hour highway trips to Atlantic City have been very comfortable. Even great when raining! Most underrated car out there.

Pros: What do you like about 2011 Nissan Sentra?
The cars' styling is very visually appealing, which is what drew me to it in the first place.
There is plenty of leg room in the front on both the driver and passenger side.
Having adjustable cup holders came in handy while traveling.
I'm still a little old school and don't always like using an IPOD so having a CD player was great. I also liked the station/artist feature on the radio. Don't you just hate it when you hear a song and can't remember who the artist is.
Cons: How would you improve 2011 Nissan Sentra?
The CVT wasn't so great on our road trip. With constant adjusting we only averaged 27mpg, which is poor in comparison to the advertised 34mpg highway. Although the ride is smooth, the car wonders erratic. It made driving very tiring because it felt like it was fighting itself.
It has low profile tires was it makes you wonder about the suspension.
The seats were not very comfortable for the long trip. The front seat cushion is short so it doesn't hit you in the right spot to support your legs. I don't know what they were thinking when they designed the backseat headrests. They stab you in the back of the neck. The backseat passenger complained so we just ended removing them and putting them in the truck for the trip. There also wasn't any leg room.
We didn't notice till we needed to use it but there wasn't any heat vents for the back seat area. When you buy a car you don't always focus on the backseat comfort. Lesson learned.
2011 Nissan Sentra Review:
Overall we were very disappointed in the vehicle. You want to know what a car is really like take a long road trip in it. How it rides and what the comfort is like. We won't even talk about the low highway MPG. Guess this wasn't the best choice for our driving lifestyle. Driving 20 minutes here and there around town doesn't give you an adequate insight to these flaws. I would think twice before buying another one. Don't be swayed by the sporty look appeal and price tag.

I like the style but absolutely hate the no choice spoilers that you have added. What about choice? It is a deal breaker for me.
Cons: How would you improve 2011 Nissan Sentra?
Give choices.
