hello!! i will want to purchase my 1st car, and i have been eyeing the nissan sentra 2007 and 2008 model lately. what is bothering me now is the the CVT transmission system. Does CVT gives any tranmission problem? What is the average cost of maintenance like compared to other japanese makes? Pls any nissan user should give me proper orientation before i make my purchase

CVT or no CVT once you use the car as specified by the manufacturer you won't have a problem.

Seriously when I bought my car, I couldn't believe I read the car manual as bulky as it was, I read the hardcopy and also downloaded pdf version and read it from head to toe. Infact I can quote some chapters in each copy. So what you need to do is read the manual, it will tell you the interval of ATF change, what type of ATF to use, and how to use the CVT and other car maintenance tips.

Atleast the sentra has more appeal than the toyota corolla or honda civic, go for it bro.

I drive a toyota sienna 2000model, not a CVT though, but there are many cars with CVT transmission in Nigeria from the honda city, to the recent model of honda accord, nissan altima and maxima just to mention a few. The sentra is a good car but it also has close family competitors but I bet you, if you buy a good car and maintain it, in years to come you will be happy with your choice.
