Mini Maxima; Sentra packs a lot into a little car-and a little price.
ONE DRIVE IN THE NISSAN SENTRA SE IS enough to make some fairly sweeping generalizations, most notably that it's too bad so many younger drivers have turned to sport/utes. If it weren't for some inexplicable need to cruise in top-heavy, fuel-sucking SUVs, more drivers might discover the joy of driving at a much earlier age.
A car like the Sentra could certainly help in that discovery. The SE's high-revving 2.0-liter four turns out 145 hp at 6400 rpm (the base Sentra XE uses a new 126-hp, 1.8-liter four). Compare that output with the new Honda Civic and its 127-hp 1.7-liter inline four, or the Ford Focus with a 2.0-liter four at only 130 hp: All three cars have comparable curb weights, and the Sentra clearly wins in the oomph department. Combine that oomph with the SE's tauter front-strut, multilink-beam rear suspension, and the Sentra makes for an entertaining little ride in the mold of a mini Maxima.
Our test car came with the 2.0-liter, a five-speed manual and the optional performance package, which includes Firestone Firehawk P195/55R-16s and a slightly more aggressive suspension setup.
On the track, the Sentra turned in a best 7.86-second 0-to-60-mph time, thanks in part to the 2.0's 136 lb-ft of peak torque. On the skidpad, it had a tendency to understeer, though not to the point of annoyance, and the steering didn't respond ...
