i've been lurking for over a month now and finally decided to register.
on june 26th i became the proud owner of a 2002 nissan se-r (auto) w/ the following options:
aztec red
audio fanatic package
abs/side airbags
leather seats w/ SE-R embroidered on them... but not the fugly Spec-V colors... they're dark grey/light grey.
Moonroof
etc.
i got it all at invoice for a grand total of 20,300 out the door (yes, including all taxes, etc.)
anyway... i have a couple of issues after driving it around nearly a month which i haven't seen mentioned here...
1) the ride is very harsh on uneven roads. i can feel every bump on the road. too bad when i went for a test drive it was all on newly paved roads. my previous car was an ES300, so maybe that's why i notice the extreme difference. *shrug*
2) the cupholders are in a horrible place. thankfully i don't have the in-dash disc changer, otherwise the sweat from my drinks would probably short it out.
3) mileage is passable, but i expected more. i have 1,100 miles on it and i'm getting about 270 miles per tank (~20.5mpg). hopefully this will increase over time.
otherwise, i think it's a pretty sharp car. honestly, i think the audio fanatic package is very good. it has good, solid response from the music i listen to (primarily electronica/gothic/industrial). it's loud enough *in* the car. i could care less if the cars around me hear it or not. after all, it's my music... not theirs.
the car is much quicker than i had expected. sure, probably not as nimble as the spec-v, but i don't race. it definitely does its job.
well, back to your regularly scheduled programming...
