The Nissan Sentra is a large car for the segment, and it competes most closely with the comfortable and refined Chevrolet Cruze.
The Ford Focus and Hyundai Elantra are both stylish sedans, with the Focus focusing on sporty dynamics, and the Hyundai offering the best value for the money.
The Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic are expected competitors here–both of which are vastly improved for the current model year, especially in relation to where they were just a few years ago.
