• Reviews

  "The 2009 Nissan Sentra is a decent choice for an economy sedan, mainly because of its spacious cabin. However, other choices are better-rounded, particularly in terms of fun factor, even compared to the SE-R models."
  — Edmunds: 2009 Nissan Sentra Review

  "With its tuned-up engine, the 2009 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V should appeal to younger drivers, but its lack of cabin tech makes it an unattractive option."
  — CNet: 2009 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec-V Review

  "The Nissan Sentra is a solid compact sedan that gets good gas mileage and offers a great value. The cabin is roomy and comfortable with nice seats and an attractive instrument panel. The Nissan Sentra offers two excellent engines and a fine, forgiving chassis. The SE-R Spec-V provides driving fun without being harsh or high strung. Nissan nailed this one."
