I love my car because it's awesome.  For the price I've payed for, it has the best performance.  It's also the fastest car for that class.  It's really good on gas and since I got 6 years of warranty, I won't have to worry too much about maintance.  It's really fun to drive since it's standard.

Pros — Awesome performance.
Cons — Looks like a turtle...

This was my first car, purchased new in June 2008.  It was plenty zippy for me, handling was decent, and it had a comfortable ride.  Fuel economy was on par with other cars in it's class, and the interior styling was great.  One thing that bothered me is that there is a rattle between the door panel and the edge of the front door (on both sides).  I have an appointment scheduled to fix it, but haven't yet solved the problem.  Also, the paint seems to be extremely thin all the way around the car.  In the first month of ownership I had two rock chips.  I'd also gotten a rock chip on the windshield during the second month of ownership.  More than likely because I drive on a road constantly full of rock haulers.

Overall, it's a solid little car with decent build quality, a fresh apperance, and plenty of power and fuel economy out of it's 2 liter engine.  The price I paid was well below what it's competitors cost (I paid $13,900 for the 2.0S with a six speed manual).  Would I buy it again?  More than likely.  It's affordable, and gets the job done.

Pros — Fuel economy, ride quality, interior
Cons — Paint depth, some body panels rattle

I love my little car!  It's got great styling, it's made well, and it gets incredible gas mileage.  The mpg is what's the most attractive about it.  

It didn't hurt that I had a great buying experience as well.  The guys at South Point were amazing.  I REALLY feel I got a great deal on my car....no kidding!  

Pros — Styling, mpg, lots of room
Cons — Driver seat rattles when I turn corners....dealer is fix it it!

My first car, so I don't know how it compares to many
other cars, but it has a lot of features, and has a great
interior. Silver in color, nice to drive, good audio
system, what else can I say? Also it gets 34 miles per
gallon, so it is nice considering gas prices now. Safe,
too.

Pros — Everything
Cons — None

This car is great the a person looking for a nice 4 door with lots of power. Nice to drive and easy on gas. Very easy to upgrade. Mine now has more torque than the SPEC V model.

Pros — GREAT ON GAS
Cons — SUSPENSION COULD BE A LITTLE TIGHTER

I've been driving this car a little over 3 months  and it is a pleasure to drive. Have driven dozens of cars over the last 3 years or so and this is one of the nicest. This car is a great commuter car with little wind/tire noise and an overall quite and comfortable ride. Even the CVT is very nice and works well. Have driven an 06 Civic which I didn't like for the fact that it was low to the ground, front seat had no lumbar support, and too much wind noise at high speeds. The Sentra doesn't quite get the gas milieage of a Civic but I average almost 30mpg mostly hwy so far and hoping for it to get better. The comfort level in the Sentra is also outstanting with lots of headroom and very comfortable seats even without lumbar adjustment. The Sentra also has many more nicer featers than some of its competition. The only car that even came close ride wise was the Hyundai Elantra; however, it did not have some of the tech features of the Sentra. The gadgets you shouldnt do without is the bluetooth and keyless ignition. Don't bother with the expensive stereo as it sounds almost the same as the lesser

Pros — Standard side-impact and curtain airbags
+ Optional keyless start
+ Standard tire pressure monitoring
+ Open, airy interior
+ Supersized cupholders
+ Large glove compartment
Cons — ABS not standard
- Drum rear brakes standard
- A-pillar can block view
- So-so styling
- SE-R is underwhelming
- No stability system
