Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec-V
| | Model of the car: | Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec-V | | | General comments: | Where should I start? Yes, the Spec-V has its flaws. The torque steer is crazy (make sure you have BOTH hands on the steering wheel when you hit the gas!), the gear shifter takes some getting used to (maybe there's a clandestine Spec-V club where members know how to work the shifter and love doing it. If there is such a club, I must've become one of them), 17" tires make one dodge potholes (I live in Cleveland), the climate-control knobs feel slightly cheap, and you have to get the 6-disc CD player in order to get the sunroof (those infamous dealer option packages), but the CAR PERFORMS!!! There has been much chatter about the lava-colored seats, but I have received nothing but compliments about them, from car-lusting men to women who could care less about a helical limited-slip differential or low-profile tires. It handles and brakes (and I don't even have the ABS), and the torque is phenominal. When you hit the gas, you feel the twist right away (I see why people love Corvettes, Mustangs, and Vipers: the torque! I can't imagine what those monster machines feel like)! . One problem with the fuel pump: I had to turn the key twice to get it to start oftentimes. But the dealer (Ganley Nissan)fixed it with no problem. If you love to drive, anxiously waiting to leave rush-hour traffice to find the next two-lane twisting road, eager to shift your own gears, and want to spend no more than $19000, the Spec-V is it. Period! It's been 14 months and 21000 miles, and the Kool-Aid smile is still on my face... | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | torque steer
