2013 Nissan Sentra aka Sylphy

[chicosci]

am at 2.7k km only as I only do city driving since malapit lang ang bahay ko at work. It's very comfortable, spacious and di matagtag.

expense for the 10k and 20k pms should not exceed 5k, 10k I would think.

Got mine last year after doing several months of research on the car and its fellow compact car competitors and this one has the best value for money proposition. For those who say that it has poor resale value, you can retort by saying that you already got the discount at the start.

You can compare nissan north edsa vs nissan shaw and nissan mantrade and have them offer you the best price and freebies.

Good luck to you guys.

Thanks din for the insight sir. Planning to test drive the 1.8 soon. Btw how is the fuel consumption of your unit?

Ako kasi route ko will be qc to makati everyday using edsa.

To all other 1.8 users na dumadaan ng edsa rush hour traffic. Appreciate if you could share your fuel consumption [emoji4]

I drive in worse traffic in small streets of metro manila than the edsa crawl. I get around 6.3km/l with the 1.8 automatic sylphy. In the same cirucmstances, I get around a 6.9km/l with my manual 1.3 vios.

to those who bought the Nissan Sylphy 1.6m/t does this variant have LED drl?

There's a new version so better check the specs. You can always strongarm the agent into giving you freebies like rear camera (even if your stock car stereo doesn't support it so you'l just plug it when you upgrade).

BTW, my battery died again.

Last year, around August, my battery went flat dead. At that time, i was able to get home (IIRC). Luckily my dad just bought a new Panasonic 65D26L (2SM) in anticipation for his Bosch S5's expiration. Stock battery GS (low maintenance) was replaced with 1SNF Motolite Gold (which I can't claim warranty directly becaues I don't have the warranty card . Now it went dead while I was in Trinoma, hazard parking near BPI because I asked my wife to buy me some sayote (I love blanched sayote with pesto for dinner). Called my bro for a jumpstart. He came and brought the battery (the one I borrowed before) and I installed it in the car (good thing I have my 10mm wrench with me). Came home and scouted for a 2SM Panasonic. Ended up with 80D26L for 4100 delivered (panasonic araneta). Delivery guy even installed it so I gave him a tip out of amazement of his willingness to help. It's an all-black 4-star Silver alloy battery, made in thailand. Hopefully this one lasts longer. I would have gone for the Panasonic CAOS blue battery (made in Japan) if not for the hefty difference (2SM caos is 6K. LOL). Maybe next time when I'm not that stingy. Also looked at Amaron but their prices are now a bit too high.

Hi. Do we also need to do a CVT reset pag nagpalit battery? Saw in other cars na dapat daw reset para gumanda ang fuel consumption. Thanks!

The extra price you have to pay for better aircon

I know it was brought up here before, but for some odd reason I suddenly tried it today and it worked.

One of the complaints we had before for the Nissan Sylphy AC was that whenever it is turned off, it goes to outdoor air mode. I know I tried to switch it to recirculation mode when it was brand new but when I turned it on, it still went back to outdoor airmode

Well now, before switching off the vehicle, I switched off the ac, switched it to recirc mode and for the heck of it, turned the vehicle off and put the key back in the on position. The thing was in recirc mode still as indicated by the light on the recirc mode.

I tried turning off again and counted to five, switched it to the on position, and it was still in recirc mode.

Hopefully it sticks so that I don't need to smell any gutter/drain odours when parked. Maybe they updated it but didn't inform anyone? Bbecause I clearly remember attempting this same thing last time but it never stuck.

I just had mine serviced early March 2016.

Programmers of the aircon equipped with automatic control were informed that sucking air outside is good for ventilation little did they know that you park under such circumstances

Seriously, constant recirculating of air is not good for your health. Letting in fresh air from the outside is better

Thank you Sir for the advise. 1st time driver lang kasi sir, gusto ko talagang matuto at masanay muna sa MT.
At hopefully after gaining experience with MT, sa next car ko CVT na ang pipiliin ko hehe.
Sa ngayon sir, gusto ko lang mag MT para matuto. Mahirap kasing 1st time driver ka lang tapos matik na agad nakasanayan mo. Bata pa naman para tiisin ang ngalay sa MT.

Thank you sir!

Attend a driving school and learn from manual

Then purchase a car with automatic transmission

You get to experience both worlds

Sige po sir, i'll try it next 2 fill-ups. Mabait yung mga napupuntahan ko na phoenix, payag sa PUV lane ako. haha. my last fill for 95 was just 35.75/L. sa Total Boni EDSA naman yung 95 nila, nasa 36+ lang last week per liter.

Matipid pala talaga yung manual. yung Kapitbahay ko lagi yan sinasabi sa akin (his is silver). Puro long drives naman sya kaya ok lnag manual. Dito kasi sa Manila (Taft/Q.Ave/Quirino), sobrang traffic. Yun nga lang nakakaantok pag automatic. pero di masakit sa paa.

sa car nyo sir, kailangan mo talaga ng RON95 pataas. sa akin, MRA8DE, RON91 lang daw sabi sa manual, pero I really feel the difference between RON91 and RON95. Ang layo ng hatak e. Parang sticky ang takbo pag 91. Pag 95, parang wild horse. LOL.

The manual indicates the MINIMUM requirements

91 ron is the minimum octane for your car and that should not preclude you from using better and higher octane rated fuels
