Nissan Sentra Comparisons:

The SE's firmer suspension tuning provides sportier handling [than XE and GXE trim levels] with a slight loss of ride comfort.

-- Consumer Guide

The Sentra feels bigger and more grownup than a Honda Civic, and it feels more hunkered down and less top-heavy than a Ford Focus ZTS.

-- New Car Test Drive

The Nissan Sentra is now a less-expensive competitor for Volkswagen's hot-selling Jetta. And that's quite a compliment.

-- New Car Test Drive

Welcome to the softer side of Nissan...the Buick of the little cars.

The Sentra SE is a triple-digit ride that hardly breaks a sweat in the wide-open sweepers.
