Why it stands out
The 2016 Nissan Sentra stands out in the compact sedan category with its budget-friendly pricing and spacious interior, designed to accommodate families and daily commuters alike. With an impressive 29 mpg city and 38 mpg highway fuel efficiency, it is especially appealing for those who commute long distances. The recent refresh has introduced a modernized exterior that aligns it more closely with the current Nissan lineup. Notable enhancements include an upgraded infotainment system found in higher trims, which provides a seamless user experience. While performance is not its strong suit—equipped with a modest 130-hp 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine—the Sentra compensates with responsive handling and comfort across all seating positions. Safety ratings are also strong, earning it the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ designation.

Starter car for my 16 year old. It is perfect for her. Great back up camera! It is cute enough to make her happy, but practical and sturdy enough to make me happy. Estimated life span for the car is 250k-300k per the internet, so hopefully this will last her through college.
