Replying to: stallionre (Apr 20, 2007 8:46 am) Curious. I've been using Armorall for years and have never had a problem. Tip: For anyone detailing try cleaning the surface as best as you can without scrubbing it. Patience works best here: you dampen the surface, wait, wipe it. If its not clean, you repeat by dampening.

test drove three different Sentra's and sorry to tell you that the torque is too low. The 3 has a higher end torque. I didn't like the sentra's at all, not even the SE-R with the CVT trans. They feel like they were pulling to one side when you floored it. However in the 3 all was going well. You floor it and you got your trans right up with your RPM's right away. In the Civic can Nissan with the CVT trans, you had to wait until the CVT trans stepped into the gears to catch up to the RPM's. There is simply no torque in these cars. The 3 won hands down. You should drove the 3 before buying. I beat you would of bought the 3. Do me a favor, go test drive the 3. But don't be sad that you didn't get it. Trade in I hear. JK. I like the civic's and Nissan's also. The SE-R and Spec V is a nice car, but the CVT is not good in these two cars. The engine red-lines than has to wait for the trans to catch up. This does not sit well with me. The CVT is only for gas, but has less power than the 3. I take the more torque and power over the gas mileage difference.

Replying to: stallionre (Apr 20, 2007 8:46 am) Not crazy about Armorall either...just my opinion. I have the brands I wanted to use but just wanted to make sure I use the right products... I've been paranoid especially with the blk plastic trim/edge, whatever its called, around the outside windows; when I used product for plastic vinyl w/uv protect on that part of my old Protege, the color would come off & it dulled & faded it. Actually I'm not sure what even what or how it happened; it was only on passenger side. |

Replying to: stallionre (Apr 21, 2007 3:50 pm) What do you mean about the cvt in the civic? the only one that has it is the hybrid, and it shouldn't be being compared to the 3 or se-r. (and the se-r get the cvt, the se-r spec v gets a 6 speed manual.) |

Is it hard to put on & take off? I never had one for any of my cars... I'm thinking of getting one; especially for when I drive out of state.
