i like my ipod adapter i had installed, love the tire traction, how it grips the road. i dislike the lack of trunk space. not a lot of room. head lights could be a little more bright than they are right now. but all in all it's a great car.

Pros — handles great, good gas mileage.
Cons — small trunk space

I bought the car brand new in 2002 with absolutely no intentions of customizing it, as it came kind of "trick" from the factory. In the end that all changed. I was the 1st person on the East Coast to have the "Octane" body kit put on the car and it was flawless thanks to my buddy Vinja. I t was so perfect that judges couldn't tell if it came from the factory like that or not. I had a fiberglass hood painted in black metallic pearl. It was lowered on a full TEIN coilover system, and on rims that were custom powder coated black and had silver polished lips as well. I was also the 1st car on the East Coast to have the FUSION led undercar kit. I customized my dash to have an LCD screen tv flip up and out of it (yknow, before it was even the cool thing to do). I also had an Sony PS2 in the car as well. For the system I had all Rockford Fosgate highs and mids, and then an AudioPipe 2000W 15inch Sub in a custom fiberglass enclosure with a crunchUSA 1500W amp. To say that hammered would be an understatement. I took this car to car shows almost exclusively and won in all of them. 3, 1st place trophies, and was also in a magazine as well.

Pros — Great performance, and a whole lotta looks from everyone. Loved this car.
Cons — Possibly the WORST drivetrain ever made by man. The engine had to be REPLACED at 30,000 miles and the Transmission replaced TWICE in that time. Absolute GARBAGE. IF YOU'RE THINKING OF BUYING A 2002 SPEC-V....D O N T!! gET THE 2003 OR LATER MODEL YEARS.

The car is great with gas, but lacks a little in performance.

Pros — great storage
Cons — slow acceleration, poor stock exhaust system

Reviewing: 2002 Used Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V

Bad transmission (clunky, first gear too short, second too long), suspension so-so, rims that bends on the first pot-hole, engine with lots of torque, but could rev higher, and the most gaz-guzzling 4 cylinder engine I've ever seen.

Pros — Cheap.
Cons — Reliability, build quality, transmission

I have had my Nissan Sentra since 2002, the year it was manufactured and from the second year on, I have had nothing but issue after issue. My car has the same exact issues that other Sentras have had that have been recalled, but Nissan refuses to put my car under the recall.  I have had the same part (the part that was recalled in other Sentras) replaced twice AT MY EXPENSE, in four years. Nissan would not even pay for a rental car.  I have contacted district, regional and corporate and not one individual would assist me in anyway, and I was calm and polite although very frustrated.  My car stalls and shuts down when at low speeds, which as you can imagine, is VERY dangerous. I will never ever recommend or purchase another Nissan product. Buyer beware.

Pros — Car fits into small parking spaces, decent gas milage
Cons — Horrendous automobile and company

It had a recall which gave us a brand new engine.
Pot holes took their toll on the rims

Pros — Fast, sporty, fun to drive
Cons — Easy to get in trouble with it

I loved this car for how it accelerated and drove.  I didn't like the car for how cheap it was.  Knobs falling off, speakers scratching, and steering wheel grinding.

Pros — Fun Ride with good sound, High torque.
Cons — Cheap
