Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Honda Civic Hybrid than the Nissan Sentra. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Honda Civic Hybrid, drivers may find the Nissan Sentra a little roomier and somewhat more comfortable.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Honda Civic Hybrid as you will with the Nissan Sentra, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Honda Civic Hybrid will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Nissan Sentra, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The Honda Civic Hybrid is about the same width as the Nissan Sentra. When looking at overall length, the Honda Civic Hybrid takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Nissan Sentra.

Handling
The Honda Civic Hybrid has about the same turning radius as the Nissan Sentra, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Honda Civic Hybrid has a much more powerful engine than the Nissan Sentra. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Powertrain
The Honda Civic Hybrid has much less torque than the Nissan Sentra, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Honda Civic Hybrid and the Nissan Sentra.
