nissan sentra or honda civic??

[cdncasper]

Ok I am looking at either 2007 or 2008 Sentra or Civic and I have 2 Radians that I need to put in. Anyone have experience with this??? How good are these cars?? Any help would be great.

I would DEFINITELY go with the Honda Civic. I have a 2006 (which is the same as the 07 and 08) and LOVE it. It is rated very highly for safety, offers a nice ride, has nice features, and is a dream to install most carseats in.

Radians work well in the 06 Civic.

I am biased. I love my civic. I'm on my 2nd civic now. I had a 2000 civic, totaled it, then got a 2006 civic hybrid. I love it.

The Civic will hold it's value better. That said, I did get a '96 Sentra new in college and put 110,000+ miles on it without problems. It was a nice car but if I was choosing between the two now I'd probably get a Civic.

Check out edmunds.com - lots of good info to be found there.

I have had both a Sentra and Civic. I absolutely adored my Civic and drove it 270,000 miles- then sold it. When I sold it, it was in good condition with NO problems. Those are some very well made cars. Can't beat that gas mileage either!
After my Civic I got a Sentra, and I have already gotten a new car. I got the Sentra in 2004, and now have a Camry which I got a couple months ago. I hated the Sentra. It didn't handle nearly as well as my Civic, didn't have as good of gas mileage, it just wasn't as sound of a car as the Civic was.
So, my vote would be definitely for the Civic!

Civic, all the way!

Another vote for the Civic! I'll probably replace my '95 (with 217k and only a few minor issues) with a new Civic when finances allow. The new Civics are very roomy inside, I carpool in one every other day and it's so comfy :)

The only problem with the Radians is that Hondas tend to have big buckles and you might have some belt path issues (haven't installed a RN lately, can't remember how bad they are...)

I am the oposite of everyone else.
I would go with the Sentra. We have owned lots of Nissans and up till this summer that is all I had driven. They last forever and ride well.
the only down side to the sentra is car seats. They fit well, just sorta a pain to get in the first time. The back seats slant to the back slightly and that make a RF install sorta difficult.
