I dont think the Optima is a competitor to the Sentra. It's a midsize car. Replies to this message: ricketts22 (Jan 04, 2007 2:44 pm)

Replying to: KarenS (Jan 03, 2007 7:27 am) The article states that the MR20DE motor lacks variable valve timing. According to the Nissan website (www.nissanusa.com), the Sentra does have variable valve timing. Look under specifications for the Sentra.

Replying to: pat (Jan 07, 2007 1:24 pm) Having had the chance to drive a new Corolla (LE), Civic (EX), and recently a Sentra SL, I would offer the following subjective comments: Corolla -- pleasant, quiet, reasonably peppy, and devoid of anything really interesting whatsoever. The ultimate "snooze-mobile." Civic -- very smooth running & riding, somewhat noisy in terms of road & tire feedback, reasonably comfortable seating, and high strung powertrain. Really have to get/keep the rev's up to make it peppy. Could be fun but requires a lot of work to make it so. Sentra -- easiest to drive of all three. Comfortable & roomy seating, fairly quiet, torquey engine. The CVT is a little wierd at first, but not difficult to adapt to. Overall the most fun to drive any distance at all.
#9 of 9 Dig my commuter.. by jabone Jul 11, 2007 (2:46 pm)
Since my collection of cars consists of a Jeep Wrangler and Suburban, I wanted to find a third car for commuting. So I did a lot of test driving. Everything from Kias to Civics. With Nissan incentives I was able to get the base, with 6spd forget the CVT, for 12.8k. In my area there is no Civic DX and people pay MSRP+ for Civic LX. In this price range, it can't be beat - ROOM, good power, decent ride, trunk space, killer MPG. At the higher end I would look more Mazda 3 or else where, but it's the best commuter car I've ever had.
