The most crazy part about it all though is I got it for $25,000 USD OTD ("INCLUDING" all taxes, fees, registration, plate, etc). MSRP for mine optioned how it was with the convenience package, floor mats, and splash guards was just shy of $27k, I think $26.8k. So I got almost $2k OFF on my final loan.
I also did trade in an older B17 Sentra and Nissan offered me the most value by over $2k more than any other manufacture, and I did cross shop with a Corolla and Civic.
Overall, LOVE this vehicle. I'd rate it 10/10 in my ownership of 4 months so far, no complaints.
This must not be an SR Premium? My premium has way more lights. It lights the ground when u get close with the fob and shines the word Nissan on the ground.
I test drove This a k4 a civic sport and a Camry le
Sentra was nice ig but k4 felt nicer and roomier
After that I drove the civic sport and immediately fell in love
I thought the small screen would bother me but I completely forgot about it the rest of the was so nice and it’s so fun to drive and very spacious
I looked at the hybrid sport too but it didn’t make sense for me to spend the extra on it
The Camry le was terrible I hated that thing felt so cheap
