The word that applies to every aspect of the all-new 2007 Sentra is solid. Nissan has nailed this one, from a design standpoint. It's got a new engine, chassis, styling and interior, all of which are excellent and will keep the Sentra near the top of its competitive class of well-built cars. For the price, the Sentra is a great value.

Very fun to drive, great handling, and surprisingly roomy! The new styling is very sharp. I got the convenience plus pkg with bluetooth and audio controls on the steering wheel which keeps my hands on the steering wheel. Owning Sntra has been a great experience. Try it!

I always owned mid size cars. No More! My 2008 Sentra
has a super smooth ride and is very quiet. With about the same room inside or more than my 2003 mid sized car. This is the perfect car
for a terrible economy with totally insane gas prices and a government
who could care less about working people.

I was quite impressed with room and comfort that the new Sentra provides. The CVT is awesome. The power is quite good for a 2.0 ltr engine and I have no problem with it Whatsoevaaa!! The headroom and shoulder room is very good. The Rockford Fosgate radio is quite good and the trip computer is a must.

I have only owned my 2007 Sentra SL for a few weeks, but I love it! The Intelligent key is great! It is very handy. Gas mileage has been above average. I wish the Sentra had automatic headlights, and thats the only complaint I have with this car. But All in all If you're looking for a sporty, fast, and reliable car, You won't regret it.
