There are a few of us out there who opt to not have frivolous bells and whistles thrown on our cars without our express consent. We want something that’s reliable, comfortable, and affordable— while remaining well-made, of course. But in this day and age, these kinds of vehicles are getting increasingly difficult to find. There may have even been no hope, were it not for the 2014 Nissan Sentra S.
With 6-speed manual transmission and rear drum brakes, the 2014 Sentra’s acceleration and stopping power is not only responsive and robust, but affordable too. Despite the absence of Nissan’s CVT system, this car is still able to hit an impressive combined mpg of 30. And with its 1.8-L engine that’s still capable of pumping out a considerably peppy 130 hp, you need not worry about sacrificing force for fuel economy.
Inside, the Sentra’s delivers on function and toughness just as well as what’s under the hood. With features like a six-way manual driver’s seat and tilting/telescoping steering wheel, this vehicle comes ready to make any morning commute the most comfortable you’ve ever had.
