Comments
Favorite feature:	Good air conditioning,roomy for compact,quiet motor for a 4 cylinder.
Least favorite feature:	Rough ride.Cheap feeling suspension.Not as good of gas mileage as you would expect.
Advice to buyer:	Nissan will deal on these cars.Dont pay much over invoice for one.
Detailed review:	This is my first new car and overall i am pleased.The car was cheap to buy and should be cheap to own.My favorite features are the timing chain(no belts to change or break).The Sentra has decent power and cruises on the highway with very little road noise.The A/C works great also.The car is pretty roomy for a compact. There are a few problems i dont care for.The sentra rides very rough over bumps to me.It doesnt seem to have that new car ride.To keep the price low,it seems Nissan skimped on the suspension.Also, the car doesnt seem to get the mileage listed on the window sticker.The dealer says it will improve as the engine breaks in. All in all a decent car.It looks alot better in my opinion than some of its competitors(mainly the Rio,Accent,Cavalier,and Aveo). I would recommend it but you shouldnt pay anymore than $100 over invoice for this car.
