2007

I got the 2008 Nissan Sentra after beating my old 1994 car into the ground. I commute 2 hours round trip to work through the city and back to the burbs. I wanted a budget friendly car that I didn't have to compromise on. I found Nissan. i looked origianlly at the Altima, nice, great features and still affordable, but when I tested it out and then tested the Sentra I fell in love with the Sentra. For over $4000 less on the base model I got the same performance feel, better seat comfort ( important since I have early arthritis ) and a much smaller monthly payment.

I have a dog, so I didn't go with the higher model with leather seats. I have the 2.0. I still have a bunch of bells and whistles, and I am so happy with the safety system also. My favorite feature is the trip info. I can see how many miles I can go until I am out of gas. Great when you want to either look for a better price, or go to that little station you know is 10 cents cheaper, but 20 miles away but still on your way home.

Overall, my car is cute, fits me and my 6'3" defensive tackle husband comfortably, and our beautiful boxer in the back. I love this years Nissan Sentra.
