honda's hold their value incredibly well...expect to lose only a small percentage per year when you sell it, versus the sentra which will probably face a more significant drop. Unless you plan on owning it forever (why?) in which case a new car would be nice.
I would pick the honda.
This is coming from a 92 civic EX owner...I love my car...parts are real cheap too, i just fixed my rear brakes (all new, calipers and rotors) for 234...
A sentra is definately a good car, and the newer ones have probably stepped up the game even further....but honda's are just damn nice.
