It is a perfect car for me as for a student-commuter. It was not too expensive and works great.

The 2010 Nissan Sentra is a cute-looking small car. It has plenty of room and is comfortable in the front seat, but space in the back seat is sacrificed for a large trunk. So it's a great car for getting groceries, but not if you have kids. The ride is smooth and it is fun to drive, except for in the snow. Better tires would probably help, but it is very difficult to turn when driving on slippery roads. On clear roads though it is fun to drive. The continuously variable transmission makes the ride a lot smoother than with other transmissions, and the gas mileage is very good. I've had no maintenance costs and it hasn't been in the shop so far other than for a basic oil change. The interior is fairly basic, nothing luxurious but it doesn't feel cheap either. There was a broken bit in the visor when I purchased it, which was the only part that seemed to be cheaply made. There are a few features such as cruise control, IPod input, and auxiliary input that make the car more fun to drive.
