Reviews SummaryLike other modern Nissans, the 2008 Sentra is a little quirky, but we view that as a good thing. The end result is a compact sedan that looks like nothing else in the segment and stands ready to serve both the basic car buyer and driving enthusiasts on a budget. Trim levels include Base (2.0), S, SL, SE-R, and SE-R Spec V, and following the car’s complete redesign for 2007, few changes are made to the 2008 Sentra. | |
Reviews SummaryThe Lancer has been a part of the Mitsubishi lineup for quite some time, and the car was overhauled for the 2007 model year. Now in its ninth generation, Mitsubishi is marketing the car as a compact sport sedan instead of the economy car that we were all thinking. It’s a handsome car with sporting intentions in all trims, but how does it stand up against more established and well-known competitors? | |
