I blew my motor a coupla days ago and I've had to drive a couple cars in the down time. I drove my sisters brand new saturn ion. What a pile. I won't go into anything but the interior. The classic has a very nice interior. Just notice the way your dash/guage cluster/hvac controls/center piece all flow together and look really good. I've been in many cars and owned many cars. Aside from very expensive cars this is one of the best most simple/clean interiors i've seen. Honda's have nothing on us in this department either. My friend has a 93 civic and it's not put together nearly as well. It doesn't flow well at all. So kudos to the classic!
IMHO, I think most import auto manufacturers can design a pretty decent interior. To underscore that statement, compare a 93 Ford (Escort?) or Chevy Cavalier compact sedan and notice how crappy and cheap-plastic looking the interiors are when compared to an import.

indeed they are. i had this older guy, late 40's, cruise up next to me and say, "hey, that's a good lookin sentra." i figure this guy has to know a little about nissans cuz my car is completely debadged except for the nissan symbols.

Hell, compare a brand new Focus or Cav to a B13, the domestics still have a way to go to catch up in fit, finish and material quality.
its so weird that this topic comes up cause i just got my sentra back from the shop and it was in there for about 2-3 weeks...and i just marvelled at how after 11 years the interior is still so shockingly beautiful...its so clean
yea, i just put some se-r seats in my le, i love them, though they were not the cleanest i got them and i had to do a lotta cleaning, though it was all worth it.
I don't know if the SE and SE-R seats are any diff, but I LOVE my seats. The interior is hard to beat. There isn't much that needs to be changed. As far as domestics, they got nothing on the b-13 STILL.

SER Seats are definitely key.
I thought it was so funny I was giving one of my friends' drunk boyfriend a ride home and he freaked out when he sat down.
He was like "OMG this seat is squashing me" I guess the huge steroid looking guys just can't appreciate the way it hugs your curves.

Sorry, but my family owned a B13 for 12 years and I got a ride in a SVT Focus press car last month. The Focus wins hands down. Now to be fair...a new SE-R compared to the SVT would be a good match. Probably a tie there.
