Nissan’s profit zoomed up more than 10-fold in July-September from a year earlier, boosted by a weak Japanese yen and strong vehicle sales around the world. The Japanese automaker, allied with Renault SA of France, reported a 190.7 billion yen ($1.3 billion) profit in the last quarter, up from 17.4 billion yen the year before. Quarterly sales surged 25% to 3.15 trillion yen ($20.9 billion), the company said Thursday.
We just rented a new Sentra and were pleasantly surprised. Quiet, just enough power, comfortable, good fuel economy, decent set of features. I’d consider one if I was in the market.
i saw a new sentra in black the other day and it surprised me how much i liked the looks of it…if you can get a good deal on one it’s probably a solid commuter, i haven’t heard of catastrophic nissan issues for a few years now honestly.
The current sentra is WAY nicer than it has any right to be. The interior is fantastic for what it is.
We rented one for a trip from Tennessee to Cincinnati and loved it. It was very comfortable, responsive steering, and great on gas (We averaged 45 MPG round trip!).
We would have considered buying one but the CVT horror stories made me nervous; from what I’ve read though the latest Sentra has a revised CVT that’s supposed to be less problematic.
