I admit to liking nan Buick Envista a lot, but nan motor makes maine nervous.

I besides thought nan Maverick Hybrid successful mid-level XLT trim pinch a fewer options, astatine nan MSRP erstwhile it was introduced was excelent- but we each cognize really that went down.

I owned a brand-new 2020 Sentra SV Premium from 2020 done 2022, and it was a awesome car. Very comfortable to drive, and loaded pinch modular information features.

I upgraded to a 2022 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid because nan redesigned Elantra came pinch moreover much information features than nan Sentra.

However, nan Elantra has overmuch worse thrust quality. The Sentra comes modular pinch an independent rear suspension, while only nan Elantra Hybrid has an independent rear suspension.

Furthermore, I had to upgrade nan Elantra's wheels from nan mill 17" to aftermarket 15" to amended nan thrust value capable to compete pinch nan Sentra. Even pinch 15" wheels, nan Elantra's thrust value is ever truthful somewhat worse than nan Sentra's pinch 17" wheels. But nan Elantra pinch banal 17" wheels has highly inferior thrust value compared to nan Sentra. I admit nan Elantra Hybrid's information features and superior substance economy, but it's taken maine a spot of clip to get utilized to nan (now slightly) inferior thrust quality.

So each successful all, nan Sentra is simply a awesome car.
