From the album: 2023 Nissan Sentra - Reader Review
Push button start right above the gear selector and you can see some of the stitching on the trim here -

I was very pleased with the visibility and this is a big improvement over the last-gen model -

This is how things should be laid out ... except for the message, which I told them about upon returning it, that's where the digital speed readout would be -

Pluses: the infotainment screen is easy to work with and the power connections give you all the choices - Minuses: I don't like the cheaper circular vents and I had a hard time calibrating the air conditioning since it was a little humid -

Comfortable and supportive bucket seats ... I believe the same seat is used if outfitted in cloth -

Actually, it's more fun to use a sunroof, even if not pulled back, when it's scenic and cool outside -

An overall view of the interior upon opening the passenger door. -

With a few minor exceptions, a symmetrical and appealing dashboard is in front of you -

Angled rear view: better than in the last-gen Nissan Sentra -

More jellybean-like side view showing sunroof and the stranger applique Nissan is using these days between the C-pillar and the rest of the body; again, visibility was excellent -

Angled front view: the conventional Nissan grille lives on -
Does a 2.0 4 respectably propel a(ny) Cadillac? Just curious. - - - - - Edit/add: I have never been to the Outer Banks, nor anywhere on the SC coast, either. I'm wondering if the Outer Banks beaches are as nice as they say and if the water color leans turquoise. VA Beach has a typical dark blue ocean. I am quite taken with the FL panhandle, so that's where I usually go and temporarily function as an annexed "redneck" on the "Redneck Riviera."

An attractive vehicle ... I'm thinking 3.6 DOHC V6 ... also, quite a few gears on the auto trans - like 9 or 10?

Clearly, there's a story line here ...

Q: What's the difference between a Saab and a porcupine? A: A Saab has its pricks on the inside.

I had meant to chime in on this. The Malibu production line may be ongoing at Fairfax/Kansas City and it looks like the 2025 model may be much the same as the 2024. Sales are sales, even if it's a "rental (agency) darling." (Great term.) I think GM needs one bread and butter sedan. With the new Camry fetching a very favorable reception, Chevrolet is probably taking some extra time so that it doesn't introduce it alongside a new Camry and can also fine tune the final product. I can only hope that this doesn't turn out to be another Charger-like scenario. That would mean that everyone is prognosticating and sketching and then we get treated to the news that it would be retired. The difference is that the very last Charger/300 would have been a tough act to follow while the Malibu can improve and become a more attractive and refined vehicle.

A random thought that sometimes goes through my head: Does TikTok often come across as a low budget, low skill, white trash alternative to YouTube?

Today would be Michelangelo's birthday. He lived to be 89. This was unheard of at that time, and probably almost double the longevity of most people. I only remember this because I know two people with this birthday, one of whom points out this tidbit of info. (I am almost sure Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15, hence tax day in the yet to be established colonies which would become the country I hope we all know and love.)

Since I'm a spelling fanatic, I was just picking up on the aXLe transpo. And capitalized on it to incorporate AXEl Foley. I only saw the first one. Every one knows all the lines to this skit. Inimitably funny.

I almost forgot: Happy Leap Day, folks. This buys us more time, if you catch my drift ...

They "sent" me this article. It was a wake up call and I didn't know how good we had it, so to speak. This is sad. https://edition.cnn.com/travel/the-a340/index.html It contains a lot of great information. I came to realize that pilots and passengers alike very much like them. There's the earlier 300 with the 4 "skinny" engines and I flew on one by Swiss in the recent past. However, I haven't flown on the 600, with its 4 large engines, in a long time. Since the 600 is longer and carries a lot of passengers, those 4 large engines "might" pencil. Currently, only Lufthansa flies the A340-600. They also have a small number of the earlier A340-300s, as does Swiss. Lufthansa brought the A340s back while temporarily mothballing their ginormous A380s, which are being put back into service (out of Munich and not out of Frankfurt). Here's one coming into LAX. Beautiful. I would really like to fly on an Airbus A340-600, so I'll be looking on the schedules to get routed on one.

I have to listen to this absurdity just about every morning ... it's a station that has music, news, etc. This is their jingle. Now locals I've brought it up to find it funny that I've reacted to this so strongly. This is f**king random and ridiculous as hell! There has been a huge erosion of the language here, largely as a result of mass media. So many words have been imported from English and they had Italian words for them before: meeting, feeling, jogging, and many words for things automotive. OTOH, the French are safeguarding their language according to an Italian prof. I knew in the U.S. - a computer is an "ordinateur" in French, but, in Italian, it's also a "computer" - pronounced "com-pooh-tear." Kudos to the French for having a pair. "Very Normal People" is just nuts.

What I had really meant to say: It's not news that we're living in ways that are more and more disconnected. Cell phones are great, especially in public places and on transport. However, some people, and even "older" people, now think that "conversations" can be carried on in their entirety on a cell phone. It's so bad that a sibling's kids couldn't call their grandmother (my mom) for her birthday because, well, it was relayed to her that 'they only text.' (They have to use a phone at their jobs.) Have I mentioned that I don't like most millennials? So, what I've got with a few people is that they want to have conversations this way. It turns out that their texts dribble in over a 4-hour period on a given day or evening when I'm not expecting them. If you decide to have a phone call, you can consolidate what you have to say across the span of those 4 hours by thinking about what you need to talk about and getting it down to 30 minutes or so. And then it's done. The most normal friends I know text briefly for 1 or 2 iterations and then we set up a time to talk every 2 weeks to a month apart. * end of rant *

I didn't vote laugh because of the content, which is serious and sad. I voted laugh because ... There's an axle ... ... and then there's Axel Foley
