Lawn Mower Registered With The Dmv — Its a lawn mower engine in whats supposed to be a car. Still I get 40 mpg... I just have to keep with the little engine that could motto, I think I can, I think I can... Someday when you grow up you will have a V8 engine. LOL

Its Okay But It Isnt Amazing — Gas mileage is amazing but it takes alot for this car to get up and go. Its prolly a great family car, but it sucks in the winter. It can be fun to drive if your a sunday driver but i sure am not.

Economic Vehicle — The car got great gas mileage and should last a long time...i will def get this car to go 500k for sure... the downside to this vehicle it really lacks on is power... there is nothing like a turbo or V8 under the hood

Nismo — 4 cyl 2.5L., 185hp (stock) mods, headers, inatake, exhaust pipes, throttle body 17" alloy wheels $11000, 19MPH city nismo mods, synthetic oil, the SE-R, especially in Spec V form, provides stirring performance. (It can run to 60 mph in just 7.5 seconds.)

Overall Fun To Drive And Own — The acceleration of this car is awesome. For a four cylider it is pretty powerful. With a 6 speed in it it is so fun to drive. The Brembo brakes are also a plus. Mine being yellow is a head turner, but thats sometimes a bad thing. Pretty good on gas mileage and have only brought it in for a recall. Insurance is insane though.

2006 Nissan Sentra Se-r Spec V — Performance- nice and torquey, plenty of power stock, ive beaten a few V6 and 4 cylinders Build Quality- good for the price, rattles a little Appearance- looks good with a custom grille and would even be better with the nismo lip kit Cost of Ownership- managable Fun Factor- a blast to drive

Better Than The Civic Si. — It is very powerful for a 2.5L 4 Cylinder. Has a lot of torque. Brakes are great and handling is probably the best part of this car. It gets decent gas mileage and it is very fun to drive since the Spec V is only matched with a six speed transmission.
