Canada "YOUR" Car Review

So anyway I've been renting/driving other cars for a bit so I thought hey why not give a direct comparison to a 10th Gen Corolla?

First Up

2010 Nissan Sentra (No Pics for this one):

Pros: Picks up faster then a (Canadian) CE, LE or S (American) Standard, LE, XLE, S - Fantastic Transmission sound - OEM brakes actually work well - More rear leg room - OEM Multi color screen is a nice touch (Displays all sort of info - not a gps system)

Cons: Corolla finish is better (I have an LE) - Corolla is a tad bit qutier (Almost a tie there). - The Brakes shake the car violently once ABS is activated in the Sentra - Bland front look, no stance - 1 Tone Color dash (Personally I think the two tone looks better)

Overall Opinion: The Sentra is a great car to drive, and more responsive then the Corolla.....but if you put the two side by side, I would pick my Corolla. Reason being I love the inside of the LE and the push button start is so much easier. Pulling the door handle to unlock the car as oppose to pressing a button is genius, especially when your carrying gear around, no need to put down items to unlock the car. The Corolla's inside wooden finish and the exterior's aggressive yet elegant stance tops it off.

The Sentra has a boring look to the front of it, no real design language. The inside is fairly decent, the seats hug you as soon as you get in, and are very comfortable through long drives - I love the fact once you hit the gas pedal you can take off quickly and the brakes will give you stopping power. The rear leg room is unbelievable and the multi-color screen just puts you in a good mood.The six speaker sound system has good sound to it, and doesn't shake the plastic in the car half to death like the rolla does.

Final Verdict: If I was looking for a car, I would buy the Sentra for its fun driving experience and its overall lower price tag. If I had the Corolla LE or XRS and was trading in or looking for something else I may go for the SE-R or elsewhere. On the other hand if I had a base model Corolla and was looking for something a little more fun, keep the Sentra on your list.

What do you guys think? If you guys have driven any recent model vehicles (09 +) give us a comparsin! Make sure to add everything here!

Please add pics if you can, and be as honest as possible.

Sentra I presume is auto and CVT. Your LE like mine is top of line 1.8 Corolla.
I tested both Sentra and Rogue when I was buying and end up with Corolla LE.
I did not like the styling and Nissan parts are expensive.
