@Annihilator1111

I have to commend you on an excellent job; it seems as if on every car video on Youtube you've educated me on where the vehicles were manufactured as well as many of their components. Thanks! ^_^

[Annihilator1111]

@crazyfooInc cool thanks

[italiankilla58]

My mom has a 2010 sentra SR and its an amazing car :) the only thing the breaks are kinda snestive (for me) i guess u gotta get a feel for them. all in all though great car to drive amazing leg room in both front and back and just a fun little sports car to drive :D

[MultiTurk61]

i just bought the 2010 sentra sr 25 thousand mile its not spec v but i like it they are good

[moparmaniac21]

I am currently driving (do not own) an 08 Sentra with the 2.0 and all I can say is this car further reminds me why I hate imports. Thing has no balls, interior was designed by a toddler, everything feels sterile and cheap, brakes and steering are way too sensitive and its ugly to boot. Im sorry but thats my opinion. Give me straight-forward traditional American design anyday, I'll never own an import.

[TheAznfriday]

@moparmaniac21 its a 2.0 wtf do you expect v8 head dumass

[moparmaniac21]

@TheAznfriday Its Japanese, what do I expect is more like it. I drive a V8 full size RWD car everyday and I love it, its a REAL car.

[TheAznfriday]

@moparmaniac21 whatever its your money getting fuckin eatin LOL!! NISSAN FOREVER! FUCK DOMESTIC CARS

[moparmaniac21]

@TheAznfriday You gonna go buy a Cube? Enjoy your Datsun, I'll be flying by you burning LOTS of tasty fossil fuels with my V8.

[ahyhijooooo]

@moparmaniac21 wtf

[moparmaniac21]

@ahyhijooooo Wtf right back at ya chief.

[ahyhijooooo]

@moparmaniac21 domestics over imports? wow brainless much '' chief'' hahahaha 

[moparmaniac21]

@ahyhijooooo Imports are brainless, sterile and soulless as well. No passion, they are all just boring.

[TheAznfriday]

@moparmaniac21 I would rather get a fucking cube than be stuck at walmart because my car won't start because my "V8" is made of shit!

[moparmaniac21]

@TheAznfriday Haha amazing reply, very intelligent. And V8 should not be in apostraphes as thats what it is.

[NissanTy]

I love these little cars. I think they look like a mini maxima so I dont see why people think these cars are ugly. If I had to buy a 4 cylinder sport compact this would be it. The civic si is nice but who don't have one?

[ozy18708]

Picking up this car tomorrow!!

[startupbuildervideos]

Hey, your video has good content, but I am not sure I totally agree with it... I guess that is why everyone has a channel and opinion right? Either way I like the content and the presentation. I picked up a few ideas from this video so thank you for posting. May I ask, how you go about determining what to make video content about? Are you looking for trending topics or are you just making content around what you think people should be consuming online? I am trying to figure out my process...

[ozy18708]

Ahhhhh i have watched this video so many times! I can't wait to pick mine up in ten days!!

[AreY0uReadyT0Die]

Found one just like this for sale with 20,000 miles on it. I really want it, but id rather not drive it in winter...

[domination281]

I had a sentra 2.0s and I liked it up until it was time for transmission repairs. I had the 6 speed manual and it cost $3,000 to fix because every component went out at once. Other than that no complaints

[SuperR1991]

I test drove one of these cars there fast and really awesome but I drove an automatic

[saturnboi24]

THIS SENTRA LOOKS ALOT LIKE A SATURN ION SEDAN

[coffeeman220]

Drove one of those.. It was terrible.. WORST transmission/clutch ever put in a car.. Didn't engage until the last minute.. And didn't give you any driving feel... Stick with a civic si

[ArmoWings]

I own a 2010 SE-R...I love the design on this car

[RayzaBlayz]

wow it has hondas alarm clock chime also ha

[kozes]

why is the shifter way up there, i hate that.

[ozy18708]

@kozes I used to not like the stick shift to be high up, but it has actually grown on me. It's kinda cool looking now.

[shay1992ify]

if i were a car, i'd hit that lol...sexy

[peanutboy3]

The only thing I don't like about this car is how it looks. A 200HP engine in a car that looks like that? It just doesn't match...

[pcfxer]

@peanutboy3 Think sleeper.

[LordKevin92]

@peanutboy3 yeah think of it as a sleeper... a car that looks like a regular car but under the hood is a powerful engine :)

[Wheelman286]

nice car... That gearbox sounds pretty clunky though

[Gabzaiat]

fart sound, but awensome car! Looks like a CTS

[DouglasBaatman]

This is a great review, very objective and clear. Well done.

[Ge0vone]

Exterior isn't bad but the interior, zzZzz....

[2004NissanSentra]

@Ge0vone you're right but it's ugly as sin on the outside, the previous gen was much better looking

[PantstofryPWNZ]

@2004NissanSentra I drive a 2007 Spec, and I agree the styling isn't great. It does help to contribute to a sleeper status if you're going to modify it though. I think that they should have shaved off the roofline a bit and maybe lowered it some, because it just isn't sleek. It looks okay, but it looks very tall. And drives like it too.

[2004NissanSentra]

@PantstofryPWNZ the front and rear is what really throws it off for me, the blocky front/rear along with the high roofline really makes the car look awkward, the previous gen looked a lot like a benz or bmw from the side and audi from the front plus i own an 04 1.8 S and love it but i test drove civics, corollas, and just about anything from that same year and the 04 sentra drove the best of all, i test drove an 07 2.0 and it was awful and felt very topsy-turvy

[benchod94]

50k miles lol my moms 09 se-r still has 9k lol

[boobs2323]

in 5:40... whats the G Techmometer?? for?

[benchod94]

@boobs2323 they are pretty useless just shows acceleration and deceler\tion forces

[pcfxer]

@benchod94 Nope incorrect. It shows forward and backward acceleration. Not lateral. Not really useful but makes for a fun trick to keeping passengers stuck in the seat attempting to read the sensor though.

[benchod94]

@pcfxer yeah smartass thats what I just said dipshit

[tikibuddy25]

Why in all newer cars the gauge needles always go around and back again?

[humanparody12]

To make sure they actually work I think.

[chaseman94]

@tikibuddy25 It's called gauge sweeping. That's their way of letting you know that they are working properly.

[zanjani13]

these cars are very sporty.

[TylerTigershark]

@zanjani13 aren't*

[PantstofryPWNZ]

Ah, I've been waiting for this one for a while! I used to really want this car, (now I want a Genesis Coupe... irony bonus?) and I still like it, being a current 2004 Sentra owner.

Just not too cool that it takes premium with these gas prices...

[benchod94]

@PantstofryPWNZ I remeber you.You told me you already bought one of these.

Hmm a liar AND a troll

[PantstofryPWNZ]

@benchod94 You don't know what trolling is then. Stop trying to sound like you're super intelligent. If you could read, you'd probably figure out that I said my sister bought one. But that's okay, stay in school and someday you'll figure it out.

[benchod94]

@PantstofryPWNZ no dipshit you told me on a different vid you fucking idiot

you said that you already bought one dumbfuck

[PantstofryPWNZ]

@benchod94 I own one, I didn't buy it though. But you don't need to get into an internet pussyfight with me over it, just go around and swear at other people and use your big boy words. It's a shame I looked at this video again, having blocked you I never would have known you responded. But I know you'll respond again even though I won't be notified. In my opinion, save your words. I know my situation, I drive a 2007 Spec V, although technically I didn't BUY it myself. "dumbfuck"

[programmer1989]

Not a bad car but I think that I am used to cars that are a bit bigger

[snake109]

ive never liked the cars with the shifters on the dash like some civics, the shifters look like boners.



[2000mercurysable]

@JamalGibran I know but I'd still use it just to be safe. I use it in my car and it's an automatic.

[MrEvoPhil]

what i was looking for thanks kyle!

[M67v]

nice gauge swep

[shadow0414]

lol the muffler squirts like a pussaaaay

[shmikens]

@shadow0414 and breaths like one too

[2000mercurysable]

I would never park a stick shift without putting the brake on..

[wotan20]

Combine a Sentra chassis to an Altima drivetrain and voilà!, you have a peppy little 'ricer'. Affordable, good enough for daily commute, yet still fun to drive, when desired.

[NissanTy]

@wotan20 there are numerous spec v's with the maxima engine in them

[Vanuatoo]

Is it normal, that so much water was coming out the exhaust?

[fightfest]

@Vanuatoo

The car must have been sitting for a while so lots of the gasses condensed in the piping/muffler.

[rig48]

@Vanuatoo common with nissan i think....my maxima does the same thing.

[Spazerdude]

This Sentra is pretty awesome. If I had time, I'd try to do a tour of my '02 Sentra SE-R.

[XenomorphLV426]

I love those red seat belts. And I think you forgot to mention that this car has the "SE-R Package" which comes with the LSD, upgraded Rockford sound system, and sunroof.

[XenomorphLV426]

This thing is a total sleeper, it's right about even with the current and new Si. And it has a really fat torque curve for a N/A 4 cyl.

[XenomorphLV426]

About time! Try to find a 2002-2006 Spec V or the classic 91-94 SE-R.

[Bflakes30]

OMG the guy knows how to drive stick lol, trust me he knows cuz 1: his dad owns a dealership 2: he just drove one in the camaro ss vid 3: he like me prolly lives in the city and a manual/stick is a pain in the ass after awhile. Especially cuz I had a stick and commuting from CT to NYC gives ur arm and left foot a serious workout :)

[SubieSean]

Is.....is it auction time?!?!?!?!

[Bflakes30]

@saabkyle04, @PhantomReconAirsoft guess it would be way too sweet to do a review on a Lexus LFA huh lol

[Bflakes30]

@PhantomReconAirsoft yea that yellow one was sick right?

[streesmut70]

I want to see this as Nissan New Compact Saloon in Thailand soon

[CrashTestUmpire]

Please do a dodge intrepid

[Stereophile11]

Love nissans :)

[crystalscan2002]

i like this style of sentra it looks like mini version of the pervious altima :)

[Josephalosaurus]

whats with all that gas coming out of the exhaust lol

[TheOtherBarber]

@Josephalosaurus It's not gas, it's condensation from the exhaust being warmer than the outside air.

[benchod94]

@Josephalosaurus just water

[PantstofryPWNZ]

@benchod94 There's probably a reason I blocked you, and I'll just keep ignoring ya then.

[Pioneers22014]

why do some of the newer cars tachometer and speedometer needles go to max reading then back down on start up, like this car and the camaro and others??

[dorkysss]

@Pioneers22014 its a auto-test feature to make sure that every gauge is working properly

[blaknoizee]

@Pioneers22014 Manufactures are adding a "greeting" to lesser cars nowadays. Just like how the Mazda 6 (which is a greeting I like). But it could also be for those of us who still let the ECU boot and the injectors prime (a way to use time while u wait).

[Legacyos]

People don't think kyle can drive stick because they all bitch about his driving in the 3g mitsubishi eclipse test drive

[Nequetrefi11]

thats a lot of water coming out of that exhaust dude..... :P

[hehh543]

I want one of these! w/o the manual !

[cacarca]

@hehh543 what would be the point? it wouldn't be a sports sedan anymore, it would be a typical econo-box.

[hehh543]

@cacarca Maybe I don't like manual? okay? lmao. wow. smfh

[cacarca]

@hehh543 if you want automatic, then don't get the SE-R specV version. manuals are better than automatic no questions.

[hehh543]

@cacarca It'd be nice to get the 200 hp with an automatic. automatics are better than manuals. no questions. manuals are better on sporty cars; that's it.

[bahasad]

@hehh543 don't know what you're talking about. maybe automatics are better for lazy ass people who don't care about shifting, or driving for that matter.

[cacarca]

@hehh543 nope. manuals are better on all cars, deal with it. you have more control of your car than automatic, and you can shift faster than automatic.

[BALJIT147]

@hehh543 no manuals are more fuel efficient and have less expensive transmission repairs and buying price to begin with, also there faster

[hehh543]

@BALJIT147 No; manuals aren't more fuel efficient. In SOME cases, yes. but in the regular sentra, one with a manual gets 24 mpg city 31 mpg highway. compared to 27mpg city and 34 mpg highway. and nissan's have a 10 year 120,000 mile warranty on their cvt transmissions anyway. and SOMETIMES they're faster....

[SLRengines]

DO THAT Q7 IN FRONT OF IT and nice video

[MrZimzam]

thanks kyle

[GSXRMark99]

I remember when he drove the stick Eclipse, he f*cked that car up bad! LOL!!!

[97I30T]

@GSXRMark99 Haha yeah he did. I totally remember that now that you mentioned it.

[Airplanerevolver360]

Man that car spits!

[LordKevin92]

3:50 whats up with the light above the door open light? what is it and why? lol

[TheKoreanX]

@LordKevin92 That's the check tire pressure gauge. The pressure in one of the tires must be low.

[LordKevin92]

@TheKoreanX interesting.... thnx :)

[TheKoreanX]

@LordKevin92 No problem

[ElectroGhandi]

Why would anybody get this Nissan instead of a Civic Si? It seems like a Civic Si but a lot worse.

[LordKevin92]

@ElectroGhandi the sentra isnt as good looking, but it has 3 more horsepower (197 for si and 200 for sentra)than the si and 41 more ft/lb of torque(139 for si, 180 for the sentra), which i believe contributes to faster acceleration.... the new 2012 civic will sure beat this thing... :)

[PantstofryPWNZ]

@ElectroGhandi Because then you'd be driving a Civic.

[SuperSportSS]

Auction vids are the best.

[yosefwanger]

its got honda written all over that

[LordKevin92]

@yosefwanger ikr.. ive noticied many nissans have the same beeping honda cars do when u insert the key... and the position of the stick stift in the sentra is in a simialar position to the civic... its the only thing ive seen... name some more XD

[freegamingsolutions]

Do a video on how to drive stick

[Goldenrod636]

I like the color contrast stitiching.

[Mds9608]

Lol at the end :D

[karolsc1000]

Please, can you do a review of a Koenigsegg CCX or a Pagani Zonda???

[Scorch1007]

whats with the japs putting the shifter on the damn dash

[Annihilator1111]

the 2007-present Nissan Sentra is assembled in

Aguascalientes, Mexico

[HarwoodTech]

Wierd that they dont sell this car in england, im sure a fair few people would buy it

[rforracing]

Look at the water coming out the exhaust pipe lol.

[giannial1985]

Nissan's 4 cyl. are loud. Ford and Toyota's are way quieter. Anyway, nice car!

[0Ojoost14O0]

Hey Kyle,

Could you do a Volvo 850 T-5R. 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 5.7 seconds. I wanna see that. Btw loved the video!

[xoquixxoqafxo]

I like the 06-11 Civic Si more. But at least this is a 6MT. 

[tacomanfan344]

Just gonna throw my two cents in... I dislike automatics. Anyway, nice review as always Kyle!

[v21496v]

hi kyle i sow that at allcity auto there is a mercedes-benz E320 wagon can you do a video of it?



[Grandpimpin22]

I watch you every morning right before I go get drunk :)

[streesmut70]

"Hey everybody was goin' on" are more clearly...

[ca13814]

its pronounced Spec five

[koioo2]

front looks cadilac cts.car it self remind me of olf pryus sedan.in europe there is no sentra maby in england not in netherlands

[rml695]

If you remember the 05 Altima, I always considered this version of the Sentra to be the baby Altima. Anyone's thoughts on that one?

[benchod94]

@rml695 You are right

The same way that the 2000-2006 Sentra is a baby 98-01 Altima

[2004NissanSentra]

@benchod94 in a way yeah but not really, the 98-01 altima was just plain boring and frumpy, the 00-05 sentra looked more like a cross between a 3-series and lexus is of the same years and looked pretty good IMO

[PantstofryPWNZ]

@2004NissanSentra Ehhh, I'm going to have to respectfully disagree, my old 04 would never be mistook for a lexus or BMW. It was a great little car, but it didn't look like that.

[2004NissanSentra]

@PantstofryPWNZ i see bits and pieces of just about every automaker in the 02-06 version (in a good way), and no you're right you can't mistake it for benz, lexus, or bmw, heck not even a civic or crapolla for god's sake :D

[PantstofryPWNZ]

@2004NissanSentra I agree that it's good looking and drives well, I had a 2004 1.8S for two years and it was great and reliable. The new bodystyle is awkward, but a new set of rims and a good lowering job helps it some. But still, it needs a chop shop haha

[2004NissanSentra]

@PantstofryPWNZ totally agree

[OTHGirlsForever]

why would the emergency brake be down wouldnt it be needed since its a stick?

[whatthehallbetch]

@OTHGirlsForever not if its parked in gear

[aspiringdrummer17]

@whatthehallbetch Leaving it in gear doesn't actually stop it from moving you know

[whatthehallbetch]

@aspiringdrummer17 true, but it helps. especially if its on a level surface like in the video

[aspiringdrummer17]

@whatthehallbetch Not in my experience but maybe thats just my car :P

[whatthehallbetch]

@aspiringdrummer17 ha! maybe, because ive left my car in gear parked on a moderately steep hill and it held. but yeah, you really should use the handbrake, its a lot more secure

[mazee141]

@OTHGirlsForever If its left in gear it should be okay.

[ferd9191]

My brother had a 2002 se-r spec v, but it was a lemon! went through 5 throttle body sensors, had to replace the computer, had to replace the engine, replaced the radiator, and other small things. Luckly he worked for at a nissan dealership and he had an extended warranty which covered most of his problems. He just thinks that his was a lemon due b/c he never had other people complain about the mass of problems w/ their sentras

[koobydotnet]

Just before you hopped out you took off the emergency/parking brake. Is there another brake (apart from the pedal brake) with this car or were you living dangerously on this one? :)

[whatthehallbetch]

@koobydotnet i believe it was habit from all of the automatic cars he reviews

[2004NissanSentra]

B15 is better hands down! Anything older than that is good too, heck this gen almost makes the Versa sedan look good :(

[NissanTy]

i like this little car, i've driven a 2.0 sl but i want to drive one of these. the seats look more comfy than in the sl model too. i think this ser spec v look better than the 02-06 model it replaced but thats me.

[ILikeReallyBigButts]

Wow... engine and exhaust sounds actually quite good..

[venomrocks101]

Hey Kyle, can you do a review on the 2012 Nissan Versa and the 2012 Volkswagen Beetle?

[paintedd]

Liked the old one better. :/

[Burzum325]

where all the Mx-5's at? :0

[ninjamoto21]

gotta say the engine sounds badass! thanks for excellent videos saabkyle04!!

-Cody

[Bflakes30]

@saabkyle04 don't get me wrong I love your vids. But you haven't done any highline cars in a while i.e. Mercedes, BMW, Audi and such. Now I just saw an Audi A7 at the New York Auto Show last week and it was stunning. A review on that would be beyond awesome. Know ur busy but just input from a loyal subscriber thanks! :-)

[saabkyle04]

@Bflakes30 I will try to do more of that this summer :)

[ShanesAutos]

@saabkyle04 hey lad. i know your busy but when you have free time please do an aston martin DBS. there is one in foreign cars italia, i saw it when you reviewed the rapide and v8 vantage convertible. its my all time favourite car.

[beachbum0014]

@saabkyle04 More Porsches, please :)

[LoveTheCity123]

@Bflakes30 I agree .. I like seeing videos of new Mercedes-Benz, BMW or Audi cars .. Not these crappy Nissan, Jeep, Toyota, Chevrolet, and Ford crap .. How about some NEW German cars!

[PhantomReconAirsoft]

@Bflakes30 i was there at the ny auto show. the lexus lfa was nice

[MrPaki1996]

please please kyle i beg you to do a 95 camaro my dad want to buy it but he wants you to do a video about it please we really need your help kyle please pretty please?

[cheeseburger9418]

Wait, WTF? you're supposed to keep the E brake up! Whyd u put it down?

[TheWarmplate]

I like the Old Sentra SE-R better.

[matthewlau254]

I said this before but ill say it again. Thumbs up if you think kyle should mention tire specs for future vids! thanks guys ( :

[BackyardFLPB]

This car makes me lol.

[djkristal713]

thumbs up for random ducks!

[wweuniversewwe]

i always wanted to see this car fully reviewed!! :)

[Andrew181and69]

spitting out water

[TheHawk545]

i bet if you modded this car, this could be a very fast car.
