...Toyota Yaris Sedan or a? Nissan Sentra. I want it to be full loaded. The Sentra even has leather. I will be able to comfortably afford $350.00/month. I am not sure which car to choose. Any suggestions. I am a single female. I really want a four door car with all the extras......Thank you so much!
 
A Sentra SL stickers for over $20K. In order for you to get $350/mo x 60/mo, the out the door price of any car you choose cannot exceed $17K. I have a fully loaded Sentra S and I pay almost $500/mo on it for 48 mo. Of course it was new & I didn't put any down on it. A Yaris would do you better financially, but will you be happy in such a small car? You said you wanted a fully loaded car & a Yaris isn't much more than an over priced tin can.

what about a honda fit their so sweet better looking than the Sentra and yaris and the resale on a fit is unbeatable
 
If you're looking at compact cars with four doors, you could do a lot better than the two you picked.

The Toyota Yaris was recently rated as one of the worst small cars you could buy by Consumer Reports, possibly the most belligerent Japanese-loving magazine out there. Only the Chevrolet Aveo was ranked lower.

The Sentra did quite a bit better. It's also quite a bit larger car than the Toyota Yaris, more in the same size category as the Toyota Corolla.

If you're looking at Yaris-sized cars, look at these models:

Ford Fiesta
Honda Fit
Hyundai Accent
Kia Rio
Nissan Versa
Scion XD
Suzuki SX4

If you're more after a Sentra-sized cars look at these models:

Ford Focus
Honda Civic
Hyundai Elantra
Kia Soul
Kia Spectra
Mazda 3
Saturn Astra
Scion XB
Toyota Corolla
Volkswagen Jetta
Volkswagen Rabbit

Out of the above models, my personal favorites are the Suzuki SX4 for the smaller models and theMazda 3 and Volkswagen Jetta and Rabbit for the larger models.

All of these models should be under $350 a month, fully loaded.

I'd say your best bet would be one of the Hyundais, Kias, or the Suzuki, as they come with the most standard equipment. The Volkswagens are also very well optioned, and have the most luxurious, comfortable, and stylish interiors, but they will be the most expensive in this group. Still, they're cheap for what you'll get.

I hope this has answered your question. If you have any more, please feel free to ask.
