2008 nissan sentra review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Roomy and sophisticated. introductionthe nissan sentra was completely redesigned and re-engineered for the 2007 model year. Some think the second year of production is the sweet spot for a new car, and that's where the sentra is now. the sentra may be classified as a compact, but it's not that small. The truly small cars are subcompacts: nissan versa, toyota yaris, honda fit. The sentra is larger and roomier than those cars and competes with compacts such as the toyota corolla and honda civic. As a result, the cabin is spacious and it's finished like a more expensive car, with wonderfully supportive seats in cloth or leather. The 60/40 split rear seat folds flat, opening up the trunk space and creating a large flat cargo area. It's enough space for two to sleep back there, or haul long items. high-performance sentra se-r and se-r spec v models have joined the lineup for 2008. These se-r models have suspension modifications for sharper handling. The se-r models have more power and better handling, but they're easy to live with and offer all the advantages of the standard sentra. sentra 2. 0 models come with an aluminum 2. 0-liter engine and a choice between a wonderful six-speed manual gearbox or a cvt continuously variable automatic transmission. These cars are good values. They're roomy inside, the engine is modern and competitive, and the chassis provides good handling and a comfortable ride. Sentras with the 2. 0-liter engine are epa rated at 25/33 mpg city/highway with the cvt, 24/31 mpg with the six-speed manual. Anti-lock brakes are optional 250). A sunroof package 750) includes a sunroof and illuminated visor mirrors. Alloy wheels are available 350). the 2. 0 s 15,980) adds a height adjustment for the driver's seat, power exterior mirrors, remote keyless entry, cruise control, illuminated steering wheel audio controls, a six-speaker sound system, vehicle information display, and p205/55r16 tires. Abs with electronic brake-force distribution is newly standard for 2008. The 2. 0 s is also available with the cvt 16,780), which adds nissan's intelligent key keyless access and ignition. A convenience package 650 manual, $850 cvt) for the 2. 0 s includes a leather-wrapped steering wheel, bluetooth wireless cell phone link, overhead cd storage, power trunk release, and nissan's divide-n-hide trunk with a hidden storage compartment, cargo nets and hooks. For 2008, abs with electronic brake-force distribution is standard. Available for 2. 0 s models and above is a rockford fosgate audio package 750) with a 340-watt rockford fosgate am/fm radio with six-disc cd/mp3 changer and eight speakers. Xm satellite radio 150) is optional. A rear deck lid spoiler 210) is optional for all 2. 0 models. the 2. 0 sl 18,680) gets leather upholstery, leather-wrapped steering wheel, intelligent key, bluetooth hands-free cell phone link, xm satellite radio with three months of service, and alloy wheels. The se-r comes with a sports suspension, a rear spoiler and p225/45r17 all-season tires. Intelligent key 250) and xm 150) are optional. The se-r is available with a limited-slip differential 400). the se-r spec v 20,180) comes with the 2. 5-liter tuned to produce 200 hp and 180 pound-feet of torque, and it links to a six-speed manual gearbox. The se-r spec v sports a performance suspension and w-rated p225/45r17 summer tires. It deletes the folding rear seat. Xm satellite radio 150) is optional. safety equipment is extensive on all models, including dual-stage front airbags, front side airbags, full length curtain airbags, active front seat headrests, and a tire-pressure monitor. Antilock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution are standard on all but the 2. 0 s, where they are optional. Electronic stability control isn't available. walkaroundthe sentra is built on nissan's c-platform which is larger than the subcompact versa's b-platform and smaller the midsize altima's d-platform. The current-generation sentra is considerably larger than the pre-2007 model. From every angle, it looks like the latest-generation nissans. The short front overhang lends a sporty look. along the sides, only widened bodywork around the wheels breaks up the clean, attractive doors and quarter panels. A character line rises from the front door back to a tall trunk, giving the sentra a bit of a rake. For example, the locking glovebox is deep enough to hold a laptop computer. There is also an available integrated removable cd holder on the headliner above the driver's sun visor. The front of the center console has a tray for items such as cell phones, as well as two cupholders that are adjustable for 20-ounce bottles or 32-ounce mega cups. The trunk is so deep that it can accept a false folding back, creating a secret space about 20 inches wide, just behind the rear seat. for cargo space, the 60/40 split rear seat can be folded flat, to open up the space into the trunk (thanks to a structural bulkhead, the se-r spec v lacks the folding seat). The se-r's sport seats are better bolstered and have a grippy fabric to keep the driver in place during enthusiastic cornering. The back seats are relatively flat, however, so they won't be comfortable for long trips. the instrument panel might be the nicest aspect of the interior. Again, it is very stylish, and functional, too. The instruments are sharp, the controls easy to operate, and the center stack features a strong-looking shift lever rising out at a 45-degree angle. The trim around it all is a handsome flat silver. Se-r models get two additional gauges at the top of the center stack, one for oil pressure and one that displays acceleration and deceleration g forces. driving impressionthe nissan sentra holds its own in a world of big vehicles. Boasting an aluminum block and head, continuously variable valve timing, and electronic fuel injectio.
