About 2008 Nissan Sentra
overall
Among compact cars, the 2008 Nissan Sentra blends European style with impressive practicality. And for people who enjoy the journey as much as the destination, the Sentra SE-R and SE-R Spec V are ready to rock on a twisty road.
Like other modern Nissans, the 2008 Sentra is a little quirky, but we view that as a good thing. The end result is a compact sedan that looks like nothing else in the segment and stands ready to serve both the basic car buyer and driving enthusiasts on a budget. Trim levels include Base (2.0), S, SL, SE-R, and SE-R Spec V, and following the car’s complete redesign for 2007, few changes are made to the 2008 Sentra.

Reviewed a 2008 Nissan SE-R Spec V on Dec 30, 2007
Limited Slip Diff. 200BHP 180 Ft Lb. of Torque Stiff hard suspension Low Profile Tires The car handles well in the turns, comparing it to prior Spec-V's this is definately a great improvement. Other Reviews call it top heavy, but pushing it hard through the same turns as older spec-v's it can take them at a faster speeds. Inside feels like a sports car. Bucket Seats hold you in as you slam on the brakes through the front end into a turn and gas it out. Reverse is a little confusing at first, it is moved right next to first gear, but a Reverse Lockout is located on the Shift Knob, so if you pull up on that by accident you may place it into reverse. Body of the Current Sentra's so it is short and tall, but it looks fast. Spec-V is only in a manual, but if you are going to be buying a sports car thats the way to go. Interior is Black Bucket seats with Red Stitching and SE-R embroidered onto the Front seats. Red Seatbelts to match. Overall its a wonderful car for the money.

This is an outstanding value in it's class. I drove all the Honda and Toyota competitors before buying this one. I began with a bit of apprehension about the CVT transmission but it won me over completely. Extremely smooth. Interior is comfortable and spacious. Steering wheel mounted controls eliminate the need to take eyes off the road. Dash layout and controls are excellent and intuitive. Excellent exterior styling.

Overall, I do love this little base car! I bought mine certified,pre-owned with 48k miles on it. It's only 1 year old, even tho it has 48k miles, those were mostly highway miles since it was a company car. I see it as perfectly broken in. Base cars from other car brands did NOT include powerwindows or doorlocks, but MINE DOES! (Yay!) The ride is nice. Very quiet and has a nice new hum to it. I enjoy the overall appearance. Wonderful for me, since I am in college and need something with great looks and great gas milage. The price was amazing as well! I could not have asked for better price, looks, gas milage, and looks. The get-up-and-go of the car is a little less from what I am use to, only owned one car previously, but am enjoying the smooth ride. I just bought it today, and already people were checking it out. (Gotta love that bold, blood-red color! Hehe.)

I wish I had gotten an SE-R, but I couldn't find one. I'm improving performance soon by installing coilovers and getting fully bolted by next year. There's also a supercharger in development that I may get when my warranty is up. The car is rly peppy and gets good gas mileage, so intend on keeping it no matter what. Unless I total it...lol.
