Value, comfort and maintenance go to the Sentra while performance goes to the Lynx. The STA's handling sucks but FC is at least better than the Lynx.

The STA's economy isn't that great, but I've never seen it get as bad as some Lynx Ghia owners complain about.

The STA's trim is flimsy, though, and electronics are so-so. The interior of the Lynx is a bit more durable, so if they've got similar distances on the odometers, the Ghia should be in better shape.

Personally, I'd rather look for an SLA (MT) or a Ghia MT... more practical in these times, given the price of gas. The SLA won't have the moonroof, but it'll still have the nice, buttery soft leather and the great AC that Nissan uses. The Ghia MT has all of the toys the AT has, but is more economical... and it drives better than the Sentra, to boot.
