Detailed review:	Test drove Civic, Sentra, Echo and Protege. Sentra was slowest in its class despite the extra HP. You get a lot for your money with Sentra, but it doesn't handle as well as the Civic. You get better performance and mileage from Civic and Echo. Nissan dealers are notoriously bad. All it took was to drive the Civic and there was no comparison. Civic has better resale, performance and mileage, and parts and buyback are cheaper.
