If you’ve been considering the Mazda 3 or the Ford Focus, but need a bit more space for your family, check out a 2017 Nissan Sentra S instead. According to The Car Connection, this preowned compact sedan is relatively uncramped compared to other options in its class and boasts almost mid-size dimensions well-suited for taller passengers.
Â
Slip inside the Sentra’s cabin and you’ll notice how spacious the interior truly is. Up front, the driver and front passenger sit up higher, offering good visibility, but even with a sunroof, a six-foot-tall person won’t feel cramped. In the back seat, there is plenty of leg room to accommodate gangly pre-teens or full-grown adults with 37.4 inches of stretch out room. Compared to the Focus or the 3, the rear seats are also easy to get in and out of with wide opening doors.
Â
In the trunk, the Sentra can hold up to 15.1 cubic feet of storage, which is ideal for families that like to road trip. Standard features on the S trim also include cruise control, automatic headlights and Bluetooth phone connectivity for your convenience. Under the hood, you’ll find an efficient 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 130 horsepower and 128 pound-feet of torque. Matched to a continuously variable transmission, the Sentra promises superior fuel economy with an EPA rating of 33 mpg combined.
