The Nissan Sentra is a good little car to get you where you need to go. It is decent on gas mileage and has never broken down on me. I bought the car used with 10,000 miles on it. Now it has close to 150,000 miles. With basic preventative maintenance (eg. fluid changes, belt changes, tire rotations) the car has no rattles or starting issues. I've even taken this car on trails in the woods. It has enough power to get me where I have wanted to go. It has decent get up and go, I get 0-60mph in about 45 seconds. The car also pegs out at 120mph but it will go faster than that. It handles well in snowy and icy conditions.
