Nissan Sentra SE-R

[jerjerjason]

pretty good price for a car like this, costs cheaper than a civic sport, better performance and interior volume. 22.5 k for the spec v 21 grand flat for se-r (canadian pricing) I don't think it's fair to compare it to a speed 3 or an si since the si is priced at 27 k and the speed 3 is priced at 29k

[carlgannon]

deffo looks like a toyota prius LOL

nd outta that list id have the EVO or MAZDA 3

[PukaMan]

Why? Because it shows that you could get a much better car then the nissan for about the same price?

[PukaMan]

omgz 200 hp? Well finally, just in time, because every other decent sport compact has at least 220 hp nowadays ...

Cobalt SS

Mazdaspeed 3

Subaru WRX

Mitsu Lancer

Civic SI

This is a big failboat for Nissan.

[tashibas]

um Sentra costs alot less... and out of cars that u mantioned it is in class with Civic, Lancer and Cobalt the non turbo 1 ofc... and it has more HP then any of 'em.

[PukaMan]

Just checked prices. A base model Spec-V starts at 21 grand. That is in the territory of the cars I listed, and a fully loaded model costs about as much as a fully loaded Mazdaspeed 3.

[Myself911]

civic SI is 197 hp.

all others car are turbo too. sentra is not.

i don't agree your comparaison.

[tashibas]

um I dunno where u live but in Canada very top SER is 26k while civic Si is 32, and Mazda speed 3 is 36... so it is cheaper

[PukaMan]

Well you're definitely getting screwed over, that's for sure. The prices I listed are in Texas.

[OrangePHX]

PukaMan,

The Cobalt SS is TURBOCHARGED, so is the Evo, Wrx/sti AND Mazdaspeed3. The regular Lancer is not better than the Spec V.

Lastly, the Civic Si makes less horses than the Spec V.

So your argument is very weak.

A turbo-ed Spec V blows any of these cars away.

[PukaMan]

It's in the same price range as the many of the cars listed. I've already stated this. Ex: You can get a fully loaded mazdaspeed 3 for about the same price as a fully load Sentra Spec-V.

[OrangePHX]

You were talking about Horsepower.

And a fully loaded Spec V isn't in the same price range as the Mazdaspeed 3.

A fully loaded Speed3 is almost 30 thousand.

[PukaMan]

When I optioned one out on mazda's website, it was about 26 grand. This is more than the previous generation mazdaspeed 3, which was about 24 grand when I optioned it on their site, which was the same as a fully optioned Nissan SE-R Spec V. I got these prices from both Mazda and Nissan's sites. So either you pulled the 30 grand figure from your ass, or you're gettingt swindled.

[PukaMan]

Despite the jump in price, I'd still pick a mazdaspeed three over the Sentra, only with many of the non-performance options omitted, and with the mazdaspeed performance upgrade (290hp) and alloy wheels. Beyond that, I'll stick with my M Roadster.

[OrangePHX]

Are you living in the U.S.?

The MazdaSpeed3 came out to $26,410 without tax.

The Spec V is definitely not 26k.

If you want to say that the Speed3 and Spec V are the same price..You might as well say the 370Z, Maxima, and Altima are the same price while you're at it.

[felando2002]

but, don't you have to consider dealer mark-up?

[Modified20062]

@OrangePHX no a turbo-ed spec v just blows up lol

[noyanky44]

@Modified20062 Really? cause i have never heard of one blowing up that did the job right. I mean if you run stock fuel pump/injectors, stock plugs, no intercooler, no oil pressure gauge, no wideband, and never tune at all then yeah it will, but so would any other car. I know guys that have been running 15psi for years on b15s without a single problem. A b16 on Allsentra just dynoed 315whp at 9psi without a good tune. These cars are easy to pull good numbers out of.

[diediego]

@OrangePHX even a turbo SE with the SR20DE engine on it ;)

[V8ERMANN]

@OrangePHX just to let you know not all cobalt ss's are turbo 1st gen was supercharged 2nd gen n/a and then the 3rd gen is turbo...

[KLONIME1001]

@OrangePHX cobal is supercharged not turo noob

[OrangePHX]

@KLONIME1001

Your spelling is of a noob's. lol... The 2008 Cobalt SS is turbocharged.

[fastcarkid24]

fuck that the old ones are 100 times better

[losluna16]

the newer one's look good, but i like the older one's

[youngnhorny]

why would it be a 'prius wannabe' when performance is the focus

[jonnyrockit]

Yeah, it does look like a puss I mean Prius from the back!

[sirsentrasera333]

im with u, it looks like a prius wannabe

[DarkRave24]

Yeah, seriously. Nissan should have moved the taillights a little bit lower to the ground. That way, it won't look like too much of a Prius.

[jonnyrockit]

Looks like a Maxima. HMMmmm...VQ35dett swap!

[jonnyrockit]

Mini Maxi

[YellowRaynger]

wow the new models are extremely ugly.
