So wait, is it 15,990 like you stated at first for the S, or 16,770 like you stated later?

My bad - That second number is, from what I gather from Nissan's documentation, the price as of 1/1/2014.

Just finished reading a couple of reviews on the new 2013 Sentra, and they were less than stellar.
Engine size is down (1.8 instead of the 2.0), and both power and torque is down as well.
Apparently, it will be the slowest car in it's segment. The 1.8 is the only engine option as well.
It also comes with the dreaded CVT. The CVT is even worse when it's mated to an underpowered engine. Awful.
The reviewers were not much more enamored with the styling and overall handling either.
Initial opinion (mine) is that Nissan missed the mark again.
Too bad, because I had a 2003 SE/r which I loved.
When they came out with the then new Sentra in 2007, I took one for a test drive and hated it.
I was really hoping the new 2013 Sentra would be a step forward. Apparently not.
Maybe a new SE/r will follow. I hope so.

Word has it powertrain NVH is through the roof on the new Sentra. I remember when Nissan used to make AMAZING 4 bangers, now they all seem to suck except for the Juke MR16DDET
