Nissan Sentra
With the auto industry increasingly moving away from affordability, Nissan’s Sentra remains a sensible choice. While this Japanese compact sedan may not be renowned for its performance or exhilarating driving dynamics, it scores points in terms of interior room, fuel economy (with the CVT) and the fact that it can be ordered with a manual gearbox. All Sentra models feature the same 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that delivers 149 horsepower.
