SE-R
| | Model of the car: | SE-R | | | General comments: | The best car I've ever owned (and this goes back 28 years). The only thing that's ever gone wrong -- the fuel pump went out at about 70k -- was covered by a factory recall. Super performance from the sr20de motor. Great handling, even on the standard size 195-60R14 tires (these do very well with 15 or 16" wheels, but the ride suffers and I'm getting too old for this). Super disc brakes on all 4 wheels. The shifter (to quote Car & Driver) operates "as if on divine guidance." I'm on the original clutch after 130K and it still grabs like a mother. Great head-turning looks, especially from those in the know. I intend to keep this gem until the wheels fall off, but at the rate things are going I'm not likely to outlive it. :) | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | Speedo cable tends to dry out and get noisy.Hinges sag on driver side door. (chronic Sentra problem)Headlights tend to crack and get moisture on inside, breaking halogen.Fuel economy -- < 20 in town (although it would help if I kept my foot out of it)A little noisy (I guess to save weight they took out most of the sound deadening; I added some to the metal floor of the trunk, it helped)Fabric on seats does not clean up easily.Windows tend to get rubber pinched in the tracks making them very difficult to roll up.Front seats are too skinny for my big over-40 butt.Can't open back windows. | | | Previous car: | Nothing quite like it (maybe a VW GTi) for the price. |
