2010 Nissan Sentra

[MoonbeamTURBO]

Yes, it's finally here. After 3 years, NMPI finally brought us the new Sentra.

I saw it this afternoon while I was at SM Mall of Asia.

(Sorry for the poor picture quality. I used my old phone to take the pics.)

-------------------

For an entry price of PHP 1,050,000.00 [6MT], I think it's too expensive even for a 2.0L compact sedan since this model doesn't have ABS, and it still uses stamped steel wheels with wheel covers. The car is well-built in the inside and on the outside, and the design looks clean, though not really exciting. Well, just my 2 cents.

Let's wait for the auto review authorities for further words...

steel rims and hub caps for 1m++ ?!?
Nissan ano kayo hilo?!

Kung gusto nyo bumenta iyan in any significant quantities introduce more variants with a price point more or less 900t. Make it 1.8 or 1.6 or something pero wag naman yun mukhang tinipid like steel wheels. Kun kaya ng toyota, honda, ford etc. magbenta ng 800 o 900T na fully equipped at ABS pa dapat ganun din.

The front looks like this.

at least, hindi na nababangga ang ulo at tuhod ko sa pagpasok at paglabas..
and playing with the rear seats and rear trunk was fun..
but yes, it does seem too expensive.

Tama ka diyan, it's already at PHP 1M where you expect alloy wheels and ABS. That was also my first question if they have a lower displacement variant. Yes, they have those variants... for the old N16 Version 2 body.

On the positive side, the new Sentra looks WAAAAAAAAY better than the old N16 that has been around here for too long. It's also very spacious at the back seat, unlike the N16 where my knees touch the front seats.

Ganun din nangyayari sa akin dati

The problem is there may be no 1.8L variant of this Sentra. In US, there are only 2.0 and 2.5L variants. Maybe they can put the engine of Grand Livina when it is locally assembled.

I don't think the new Sentra is locally assembled for now, which might have contributed to the high base price. Napansin ko yung speedometer kanina may MPH readout.

most probably imported nga.

i like nissan lalo na yun navara pero sa ginagawa nila nakakainis huli na nga new sentra parang ayaw pa pagbutihan ang model line up.
kung ako Nissan be more competitive! 1.6, 1.8, manual, cvt, diesel variant dalhin narin pati nila dito yung bagong x-trail diesel mas okay kung ma match or better ma under-cut nila presyo ng hyundai tucson na diesel. Poof=sales!

*moonbeam, thanks for sharing the pictures,

yeah, its that expensive... grabe... the 2.0 manual's equipment level is close to that of their 1.4 EX Saloon of the past... way lower pa because of the steel wheels!
