Best Front Drive Perf. Car For The Money

This car will absolutely smoke cars so many cars that are so much more money. I'm sure all driving enthusiasts will get a kick out of the "Helical" limited slip front. I don't think another front driver(stock)can hook up it's tires any better. It's really quick off the line. While the other guys engine is reving up you're blowin by. Front end also works better than any other I've driven in the corners so it's fun on the back roads too. So many kids (and Bemers) will want to race you in this car! -It's a lot of fun to own.

I test drove the Sentra, Corolla, Protege, and Civic. All were good cars. I got a really good deal on the Sentra and that's why I chose it. Now after 15,000 miles I've had no problems.

very fast for a 4 door, rare to see, takes right turns with ease and you can really floor it in the middle of turning on the street(not recommended). interior has all you need, exterior is clean looking, bumpy on rough roads but worth it everywhere else. first new car at 18 and best decision ive ever made.

Sentra has many benefits over other cars of its class including Civics, Corollas,& Focus.For the same if not more features the price is much lower. I also haven't had to do any major maintenance.It is also much better powered and performs better than the Ford Passing on highways is extremely easy for a car of its size & you can barely hear the engine while acceleating.Shifting is very smooth as is the ride for a car of its size Only two complaints.One,front driving seats are a bit uncomfortable & gas mileage is not as good as Corolla or Civic.Only 28 in the city & 32 on highway.

This is the fourth Nissan I've owned ('83 Datsun 310gx, '95 Quest, '95 Sentra, '02 Sentra) and I am very pleased with this car. I'm a shorter person and the car fits me like a glove. My friends who are taller (6' and up) are quite amazed that they fit so well in the front seat. As for the back seat -- well, that is another story. But after test driving the Mazda Protege 5 and others, the price and quality were unbeatable. Get the Synergy package -- it's well worth it!
