Car Profiles - Nissan Sylphy

NISSAN SYLPHY

Weird name aside, this car aims to put the Sentra (which is very old) into distant memory by offering a spacious cabin and some luxury amenities (think of Exalta). No more archaic automatic transmission, lies here an Xtronic CVT.

The Good: Spacious rear cabin, value proposition, inviting entry prices.

The Bad: Steering feeling isn't great.

Price Range: P908,000-P1,052,000
