30-34 MPG or Better
Oct 23 2008The 2008 Nissan Sentra is a small sedan, and most trims fit into the under-$20,000 category. The Sentra is the sensible shoes of the Nissan lineup; it’s everything you need, plus a little style at an affordable price.

It seems my genius, talented child is barely pushing the lowly 5th percentile in size. That doesn’t get to me because I’m not fooled by appearances; I know good things come in small packages. And so it goes with the 2008 Nissan Versa sedan.

When my daughter first spots me in this shiny beauty, top down to take advantage of the weather, a grin as wide as — and spreading like — the fungal-like mess in her bedroom appears on her face. “Mom!” she exclaims. “You look sooo cool in that car!”

I love the comfort and the features and how well it fit my kids and all our stuff, but when it came time to let it go, it was the drive that I really hated to see leave.

Did you know there are two versions of the Saturn Vue Hybrid? The test car I drove was the Vue mild hybrid (although you wouldn’t know that from the not-so-mild stickers plastered all over it).
