Well-reviewed for its reliable performance, steady on-road dynamics and comfortable interior, the 2017 Nissan Sentra S is a popular option for Seattle drivers seeking an affordable entry-level compact sedan.

Â
Powered by a 1.8-liter inline four-cylinder engine and a continuously variable transmission, the 2017 Sentra easily dishes up 130 horsepower and 128 lb-ft of torque. Acceleration is very stable, especially when cruising at highway speeds, making this an ideal model for commuters. Due to the vehicle’s small overall size and engine, the Sentra is very fuel efficient to run with an EPA rating of 29 mpg city and 37 mpg highway. According to the Car Connection, the sedan also dampens out rough roads and handles with confidence thanks to the torsion-beam rear suspension and electric power steering.
Â
Inside the cabin, the Sentra is wonderfully spacious with almost midsize sedan dimensions that can accommodate four adults quite nicely. Up front, both the driver and passenger sit slightly higher for better visibility, while back seat occupants enjoy 37.4 inches of legroom. Trunk space in the Sentra is also best-in-class with a 15.1 cubic foot chest-like cargo area that fits large suitcases and a week’s worth of groceries. The S trim level boasts standard air conditioning and Bluetooth phone/audio capabilities, plus convenience features like keyless entry, power accessories and cruise control.Â
