really? you have proof of this? if anything the civic is selling a lot better than it ever has! especially since this conversations is about sub compacts stealing sales, and that means in honda's case; the fit. Which is so hard to find that it would be impossible to sell more of them than civics!

and there is your proof, but i'll highlight for you
 
Civic * 29,721 28,969 -1.1% 68,140 78,479 -15.4%
    Memo: Civic
          Hybrid 2,813 2,232 21.5% 6,520 7,177 -11.5%
 
Don't get the wrong idea, I'm by no means bashing honda, just pointing out a trend. I think there are several factors with the civic,
1. it was redesigned in 2006, so it went up in price and the discounts dissappeared
2. the accord will be redesigned for 2008, and is being heavily discounted and taking sales
3. Its loosing sales to both the prius and fit.
 
at any rate, it's still in the top 5 for car sales.

A reporter would like to talk with a consumer who owns a four-cylinder Honda Civic, Honda Accord, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima or Nissan Sentra but had also shopped for a Prius or another hybrid before deciding on their current purchase. Please respond to ctalatiedmunds.com no later than May 3, 2007 with your daytime contact information and what car you own.

I've also discovered that Canadian Sentras also have ABS and EBD as STANDARD equipment on the S and SL models, and available as part of a package on the 2.0 base model. Another difference is that the push button start is not available, but only key operated. That's not a negative, for some of us.
 The supplied AM-FM radio and CD player is NOT MP3 compatible, unlike some other car brands. To get the MP3 you must upgrade to the Rockford-Fosgate Audio System.
  Makes me wonder why I can get these missing features on a Ford Focus right now.

2007 Sentra SL or Versa SL - your suggestion? by coil_nine

Which would you choose, a SentraSL or VersaSL sedan? We are torn. (I'll cross-post to the Versa forum)
 
Here in western MA we travel significant distances. Not like AZ, but pretty good.
 
The SentraSL and VersaSL both have the interior stuff we want, like cruise control.
 
VersaSL
The VersaSL has way significantly better rear legroom (we are tall). It ALWAYS comes with a stupid "option" sound and bluetooth package. Who cares about 6 CDs when we use an ipod? Lame.
 
SentraSL
The SentraSL 2.0 has a bit more power for the distance and probably does not work as hard. Would it be better in the winter weather crud? Is the actual MPG equivalent?

I have a Sentra SL.
Pluses: Mileage has been good (averaging about 30 on mostly highway driving) and it is very quiet and refined at high speeds. The CVT is great on the highway.
Minuses: Door panels scratch very easily, seats are a bit low and that can be uncomforatble on a long trip. The CVT can be a bit jerky at low speeds, such as pulling out of a side street.

I just got a Sentra S, CVT and Luxury package. On the short city test drive I got 33 MPG and that is with a brand new car.
I am hoping for 35 MPG average.
 
Time will tell. I will report back.

Hi all...
 
Anyone know of a website with the latest 4-1-1 on the '08 versions of the Sentra?
 
I'm eager to find out what Nissan has in store for the U.S. models, such as improvements and new features (if any).
 
Please inform...
 
Many thanx!
 
Peace<- --

No information that I am aware of yet. However, Nissan USA (the importer and distributor) could take a few cues from Nissan Canada. For example, make the ABS avbl across all trim levels, as a stand alone option. In Canada, they come standard. The addition of heatable outside mirrors on the upper two trim levels are standard there as well. Why not here as well? The addition of MP3 as standard on the existing radio would also be welcome. Without having to go for the pricey Fosgate upgrade. And last, but not least, upgrade their bumper to bumper warranty to 5 years/60,000 miles. Why, this is already done on the Mitsubishi Lancer 2008 model. And, folding outside mirrors. In fact, the Lancer has all those features, except for the heated mirrors. I'm not holding my breath that Nissan USA will implement some or all of these changes they should make. But then again, I don't have to compromise...there are other choices out there in this price category. Nissan USA are you listening? Will you adopt some of the features already offered by Nissan Canada for their market?

Hi, ike3...
 
These are exactly the "improvements" that I spoke of in my original entry here. I've been to the Canadian Nissan website and I know what you're saying. Add to that list electronic stability/traction control and that's a pretty good list for Nissan to pick up on. The question is will they? Hmmmmmmmmm...the jury's out on that one!
What you say about there being other choices in this class is on the beam, so to speak. Time will tell. I'm still curious as to what direction Nissan will take the Sentra for '08. We'll see...
 
Peace!<- --
