hehe. The CTR has a 6th gear. jk. I know what you mean. Thanks for the input. I drove the si and really liked the ride, but, I couldn't help but think about the extra 40 horsies the ctr has. I haven't driven the sentra, but I sat in it and liked the interior. I just wanted to get some input. I'll probably test drive them both the week I'm going to make a purchase.
