The Sentra is one of the roomiest compacts around, with abundant head- and leg room in both rows, a big 13 cu. ft. trunk, and rear seats that flip and fold forward like an SUV's to provide a flatter load floor. Nissan offers a variety of torquey 4-cylinders, from a 2.0-liter mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that gets 34 mpg on the highway, all the way up to the sporty SE-R Spec V with its 200-hp 2.5-liter engine and 6-speed manual. You can even get a variety of higher-end options, like a new navigation system with a 5-inch monitor and rearview camera.
