The Altima isn’t the only fantastic sedan in Nissan’s lineup. If you haven’t yet done so, you should deeply consider the Sentra if you’re in the market for a new car. It has standout fuel efficiency and incredible safety features. YouTuber “poisedonis†has a glowing verdict on the automobile below.


The Sentra gets a lot from its 1.8L four-cylinder engine. There are a capable 130 horses and 128-lb.-ft. of torque to play with, but the fuel economy is what’s truly sensational. The 2013 SV model receives 30 MPG within the Seattle city limits and a whopping 39 on the highway. And because it comes stocked with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), you won’t feel any raggedness or jerkiness when shifting. Everything is composed, measured, and refined.


Nissan honed in on safety with the 2013 Sentra SV. This becomes apparent when you consider the immensely positive verdict from the IIHS. The highest score possible was achieved in each of the “Moderate Overlap Front,†“Head Restraints & Seats,†“Roof Strengthâ€, and “Side†tests. These results shouldn’t be too surprising when you consider the plethora of airbags provided (front, rear, and curtain) and included technologies such as electronic brake-force distribution, however. Plus, traction control works to keep a firm grip on the road at all times, even in slick conditions.
