The 2016 Nissan Sentra is roomy, comfortable and offers plenty of high-tech features. It’s also not particularly expensive, even fully loaded. If that sounds like the car for you, it’s worth checking out.
We like the styling updates to the Sentra, but despite that, the styling’s still on the anonymous side. Additionally, the Sentra sells on value, so if you’re looking for a powerful engine or snappy handling, you might be better served by a Volkswagen Jetta, Honda Civic or Mazda3.
