2007 Nissan Sentra Denali Crew Cab 4x4

On the outside, Nissan certainly got it right: The new Sentra resembles a scaled-down Altima, a quantum leap in styling from the last-generation Sentra. The SE-R and Spec V models have mild body cladding, a rear spoiler and handsome 17-inch tires and wheels, so they certainly look the part., , On the inside, the test SE-R had special charcoal cloth-covered bucket seats that looked and felt as though they belonged in much more expensive car. Instruments and controls look similarly upscale. Rear seat room is passable; trunk space is generous., , The SE-R and Spec V seek to compete with other Japanese-brand performance compacts, such as the Honda Civic Si and Mazdaspeed3. The SE-R is closer to the Honda, with above-average power and crisp handling, while the Spec V is more like the Mazdaspeed3, which trades comfort for some performance.
