2017 Nissan Sentra Nismo review Just because it says Nismo...
Looks hot, is not.
A for-realz Nismo for $27K? Not a chance. At least not in the sense you’d expect -- the badges are there, and the boy-racer trim bits, but a front-drive car with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) is never going to be a recipe for track-day fun. Nissan should know better than to dilute Nismo's niche cachet by even building this thing.
The good news is there’s a stick available, and the Nismo suspension tuning does make this a fairly nimble little scooter. I had a great time wheeling our manual-trans Sentra Turbo SR a few months ago, and there’s no reason to think that, comparably equipped, the Nismo wouldn’t be even more entertaining. Plus, when you need something for everyday chores, the Sentra is a roomy base upon which to start, with a cavernous trunk.
