Judge the car by the car, not by its name or heritage.

Just because its "sentra" can only imply a few things, but everyone else chimed in and mentioned the car's downfalls.

I'll add one more downfall - torsion beam rear suspension

Brembo brakes, 6 speed with LSD, well supportive seats, are definite pro's though.

civics and integras arent supercars either.

brand new, stock for stock, for the price, you get a lot of car for the money you spent. the same amount of money will get a new civic ex. not exactly performance machinery.
