2007 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD |
Seats are hard. Headrest forces your head to bend too far forward. Sculpted seat backs forces your shoulders too far forward from your spine. see full Nissan Sentra review |
2006 | 4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
With the front seats all the way back, children can barely fit their legs behind the seats. see full Nissan Sentra review |
