2010 Nissan Sentra Sedan SE-R 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl CVT)
Sentra SE-R
 Got this for my son's first car.  I wanted something very safe.  He cannot drive a manual so we looked at the Civic EX and Mazda 3 Sport.  Was convinced that we would get the Mazda until we drove this.  The Mazda may drive a little better but it was so small.  I am 6'4 and could not get in or out of the back and even in the front, I felt like I was in a go cart.  The Sentra is great!  Roomy, fun to drive, paddle shifters and he is getting 26 MPG with no highway miles at all.  Build quality is good and for the exact price of a base Mazda 3, he got the moon roof, Rockford Fosgate audio package with I- Pod adapter and back up cam.  Now my wife wants one!
