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.

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

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.

[speed unlimited]

The front looks like this.

[dr. d]

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.

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.

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.

Unfortunately, that 'bigger' rear seat is still a lot smaller compared to the rest of the competition. I actually got deja vu sitting in there... "Sentra nga..."

[renzo_d10]

Hubcaps is the new " in ". :hysterical:

Anyways.

I can't believe that they would really release a base model with a 1M price attached to it. Unbelievable.

Oh well, yes you're right atleast it looks better than the former Sentra but I`m still hoping that they bring the price down and if they could atleast replace those hubs with alloys.

[eggman]

Wala na nga yung steel rims sa 2 Liter M/T variant! Same alloy rims na nang CVT variant.

Maganda yung 6 Speed CVT variant ng Sentra 200.

Kung gusto nyong bumaba ang presyo nito eh matagal pang lalabas ang locally assembled units.

Not even some cheap-ass 13 inch alloy wheels like those that came with the 1992 Sentra.

God! I remember those pieces of sh!t came with sh!tty tires as well. The threads explosively PEELED OFF one of the rear tires one day at around 100kph on NLEX.

Sir check with your owners manual first as to what oil ang best recommendation ng manufacturer. Lets us know kung anong recommended oil ng manual mo

May bagong kulay na dinagdag sa Sentra 200 at kulay Red ang nadagdag.

[Retz]

convince me on why should i buy a Sentra 200.

[Wh1stl3r]

1. There are so few Sentra 200s on the road that you will be unique at most carparks.
2. Low demand therefore lower risk for carnapping.
3. Nah, can't think of more than 1 & 2.

Saw a red one just this morning. Kinda growing on me hehe.

What frustrates me about the local distributor is their lack of imagination. There are a lot of nice Nissan models abroad and yet what gets here is a handful of models that can't stack up against the competition. I'm told maybe this is due to it owning the distribution rights to another brand which is currently doing well. Maybe they don't want to disturb the other brand's market share.

Exactly. Mukhang hindi na pinag isipan ang design ng Sentra.

[cripple_rooster]

It has a good handling and performance, the X-Tronic CVT transmission, and a comfortable cabin.

yes, of course. I think what is lacking are those added ammenities and the design itself imo.

The taiwan firm is so reluctant in coming up new models here coz their marketing is so concentrated with taiwan and china market. Believe or not, sa china may tiida na 1.6 turbo.

Axtually the sentra 200 is a nice car to have. Sporty ride na siya, though it looks small from the outside but onces you step inside, its surprisely spacious. What i really love is the headroom. Both interior and exterior doesnt have any fancy stuffs, just the basics.

yes, very basic lang ang interior ng Sentra 200.
