From a glance, it’s apparent that this isn’t Sentra version 5, rather it’s just 4.5. Like the Ford Lynx, they’ve upgraded both ends making it modern. However, unlike Ford, Nissan’s refreshing makes the Sentra up-to-date with current design themes. Those who know about the Teana, the Cefiro’s replacement, will surely appreciate the Sentra’s new look. Personally I like the front end especially the attention grabbing headlamps and the thick, chrome horizontally slated grille. However, I’m not too fond of the rear--it looks like the rear end of a beached whale. The head-on side view also betray the car’s age, but I’m not blaming them as it’s one thing that can’t be changed in a mid-life facelift. Inside, the story’s mostly happy. The two-town black/beige scheme is tastefully executed--a real eye candy compared to the overused faux wood trim used by most. In addition, I just adore the carbon fiber paneling and accents, making the Sentra send youthful vibes, something that a Toyota Corolla could only wish for. Of course, having youthful appeal is important to the Sentra as this is one personal transport device. The small dimensions do make it easier to park, but it means this car can only swallow four adults in comfort; three if your friends need a lifetime membership at Gold’s Gym. The trunk isn’t pretentious as well. It’s there and it will swallow bags, just don’t expect it to carry your Labradors. |
