Nissan Sentra
The Sentra, a compact sedan, underwent a major overhaul a couple of years ago to update its body and cabin. Speaking of which, the interior is exceptionally roomy and the back seats are almost as spacious what you'd get from a midsize. As for the mechanics, the choice couldn't be simpler: there’s just a 1.8-litre 130-horsepower engine. It can be ordered with the 6-speed manual or continuously variable transmission.
