I have been looking at this used spec V Sentra (2002) for sale for awhile now, I checked out the interior and stuff, and it seems pretty nice, way better than what Im driving now (96 Dx, with some minor things done.)

What do you guys think about the Spec V Sentra, any of you have any time inside/driving one etc?

 

never driven one, but IMO its a waste of money. its a good car, dont get me wrong. just a waste of money

whats your budget on this?

 

Get an early 90's sentra se-r. I have heard very good things about it.

 

:werd: The 2.5 I-4 in the current SE-R is um, not exactly refined. It's too big to be a 4-cylinder, especially without balance shafts. Plus the car itself, while it looks nice, really ain't that nice to drive.

If you're hell bent on getting an SE-R, get an early 90's with high miles. Order a blacktop SR20DET. Eat Honda.

But that's just me, and I know nothing.

 

I think the SE-Rs look nice as hell. The 2002-2003 I think are the older ones, than the 2004 has the ugly ass nose thing in the grill which makes the whole car look like shit. The interior is very nice. I hear the engine ain't that great and its sort of slow. But still a setup up from a Civic DX if the price is right.

 

:bowdown: SR20

 

A friend of mine got one... No fold-down feature for rear seats apparently :-p He foudn out after he took the car home.

 

as a b13-nut, my opinion is prolly biased. but i am unsatisfied with the spec-v. the se-r's over the years went from enthusiast cars to sissy boy-racer cars.

they are known to have all sorts of relliabilty probs, too. the biggest complaint is the shitty transmission.

they do have some gusto in them, even though they dont put out 175 hp. it didnt handle at all like i thought it would. i wasnt feeling the interior either. the driver seap was comfy, but the interior looked too boogie/cheesy. it does have a nice sound system tho..

 

torque steer =(

I've been complaining about lack of torque in my GS-R... but really...

Horsepower > Torque

 

Torque is a measure of force, horsepower is a measure of work that force does. They are not mutually exclusive.

(lb/ft * rpm) / 5250 = hp
