Hello all,
Please advise. I purchased my first sentra in 1994, 1.6 LE 4 door. It has been a nice car, but am ready for a new one. Have seen new sentras, ser sentras, spec Vs, etc but need advice. I am not familiar with other than the 1.6 and 2.0 motors. Plus, I read here about recalls and the like. Hopefully the newest ones do not have these problems? could someone more knowledgeable than my self advise what to get/not get? I would like to stay with nissans, but I do hear the WRX at the Subaru dealer calling loud. HELP KEEP ME FAITHFUL!
The WRX is calling louder and louder. My nissan parking lot nemisis just pulled up in a new WRX SVT, or what ever the latest hotrod version is. Yes I can search, that is precisely what lead me to this query! I would like someone's opinion who is as up on the new stuff as I am the old. Nothing like advice from someone with the experience to answer the question, having learned from the pains of mistake. Any replys from those with answers?
STI? yeah, STI owns. WRX>Spec V as well. Just easier/more worthwhile to mod an already turbocharged car. EJ20 is a proven engine. AWD system is reliable and bulletproof. Oh, and awd>fwd.
That, and the 04 spec v has an ugly front end. WRX=sexy

Yes, It was STI...very nice looking car, but the sentras are less money,
if you don't mind pressing hard at the dealerships. Reading this board has kind of scared me from just going to the nissan dealer and buying one. Perhaps I'll look at one before going subaru. However, they don't seem so inclined to bargin as the nissa dealer do.
wrx sti = ohhh about 2 sentras if you have any negotiating skillz at all... spec v, under 15 g's... wrx sti... oh about 32 g's... its all about bang for the buck...

with the financial problem, I would wait to see the outcome of Mitsu before buying the evo. it could become very hard to get work done of dealers close.

RussellC has no time.... His wallet is burning at his pocket...
Saddly Nissan has nothing that can be compared to Imprezza WRX or Mitsu EVO, so I think Subaru's choice has to be....
Damn we really need more offer @ Nissan, this kindda cars are attracting more people to other brand dealerships.

Your right, The good ones don't seem to make it over here! And the bang for the buck argument spins out of control. Around 20 gs could buy a wrx. the svi at 30+, other options and choices increase, and before long, it costs as much as a house. Which led me to slower choices made by nissan, Which are MUCH more affordable. Any 04 sentra ( of any type ) owners out there who are particularly happy or pissed at their choice of car?

Staying @ home YEAHHHHHHHH.
Sorry my Sentra & Altimas are +/- old, xtrail hasn't arrive yet so I can't tell you about the SpecV's engine.

Subarus Sti's/WRXs are very nice cars, well worth what you pay for them if you can afford it. I have a 2003 Nissan Sentra GXE, and it's alright. I have some good experiences and bad experiences. But again it's what you pay for; if you pay 14g you get an economy car that's not built for people much taller than 6' and made almost entirely out of plastic... so much plastic...
