Sentra SE Sports PKg
| | Model of the car: | Sentra SE Sports PKg | | | General comments: | Simply put, this is a fun car to drive. When compared to the competition I could nnot find a car I enjoyed driving as much. Get behind the wheel with the sunroof open and you forget you are driving a 4 door sedan. The 16 inch rims are great and the 4 wheel disc brakes (vented front) will bring you from 100kph - 0 in about 130 ft. One down side is the firehawk Firestone tires. I don't like their performance. The seats are very comfortable but leather would be a great option. Acceleration is more than adequate for a small 4 banger and I am always pleasantly surprised at the pumps. One downside to this vehicle is its small gear ratio on the hwy. Around town it is quick, but I frequently find myself in 5th on city streets at 70kph. This is a problem when on the highway where 120kph takes you to 3400 RPM. I don't think it's bad for the car, just a little noisier than I would like. Regardless I have been very happy with the car and trhe dealership has been outstanding. I have had one problem with the car. The left rear brake started makeing some noise (faulty seal or something replaced under warranty). Just becareful if you take off in first, as you will quickly find the redline. I really love the car, but I am going to think of every damn annoying thing about the car in the weakness section just so everybody knows. Feel free to contact me to ask any questions about the car. | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | Tires aren't so sweet, little legroom in the back, high reving on hwy, short gear ratio can result in 4th and 5th gear at relatively low speed, faulty brake seal (fluke??). Large cups in cupholder can block 1st 3rd and 5th gears. | | | Previous car: | None |
