Houston Cars

The Truth About Cars reviews the 2007 Sentra and isn’t particularly impressed - ‘The new Sentra works extremely well sitting still. When you begin to move, everything starts to go a bit pear shaped. Most dramatically, all that clever styling has resulted in huge C-Pillars, tiny side mirrors, a porthole-like rear window and a high rear deck. Visibility is roughly on a par with a buttoned-up M3A3 Bradley.’

I’ll have to agree on a few points - the C pillars are absolutely ridiculously large… rearward visibility is nearly as bad as a 350Z - and that’s horrible. The side mirrors don’t offend me, as most small cars sacrifice in this area. Nissan does need to see if anything can be done to affect the C-pillars though - if I was considering a small car, the Sentra would be out because of this reason.
