Sentra SE With Perf Pac.
| | Model of the car: | Sentra SE With Perf Pac. | | | General comments: | I think I am the first to review a 2000 model Sentra. My car is an SE five speed with a performance package. Its avalanche white. Some essentials: The car is a two liter, five speed sedan with limited slip differential and sport stage II suspension. This car is a top of the line in Sentra.The detailed specs you can get off the www.nissan-usa.comI choose a five speed since I wanted the LSD. Automatic is perfectly adequate, especially with this engine. I drove seven of these cars in different trim, and can testify to the adgility of the auto version. This is not a usual compact car. Its made with detail that's a derivative of the Infinity. Sheet metal appears stronger than that of any car in the class. There's a strengthening indent running along the sides of the car below the elbow level that is not used by other japaneese compacts which makes them vulnerable against shopping carts etc. This car enspires confidence. I like it. Very good headlights. They are supperior to that of 1999 Avalon despite the class difference. Comfortable, supportive seats, upscale controls and conveniences layout. I love the cruise control mounted on the right of the steering wheel where it can be operated by the thumb.I highly recommend the incabin air filter. Its $80 but well worth it(the road is a dirty place). The stereo... The woofer which is a part of the 180W sound sys is making the rear view mirror vibrate, which is unsettling. The car is very safe due to sport suspension. Five speed is well geared and shifts excellent. The LSD reduces plow significantly.The stage II sport suspension may be too "informative" for some. If you are looking to get a family car, omit the performance package. The terms of $500 cash back and agreable sales staff where nice, but where not the key to choosing this car. Civic dropped out of the list for small noisy engine, sopebox interior and exterior. Its exterior suggests that you are dealing with a very small and inexpensive car which isn't reflected in the price.Protege is a great automobil, yet the rear passengers room is almost minivan like. It was too much for me, but may be suitable for some.Corolla is very camrylike, which at Corolla size makes it look weak and inexpressive.The VW Jetta made a good empression, but the reliability record turned me off. Also, how can there be such high demand in America for the cheapest German automobil? Is there really something superior in the car for the masses? In 2000 the Sentra rules. | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | I'd like to have a tape deck in block with the CD. I have lots of tapes I can't use, you see. | | | Previous car: | None |
