Replying to: sstrangee (Jun 29, 2007 10:41 am) Nice review. Thanks, but I'll still keep my Si.   Let's now wait for james to come out and extrapolate how much better... the '92 Spec V is than the Si.... and end his post with "Spec V Better. Nuff said."    yeesh..

Replying to: themistocles (Jul 09, 2007 5:45 am) Yes, I forgot to mention that the versions that I bought are the Sedan versions.   I use to own a 2005 Mini Cooper S and just wasn't practical for me to drive with 2 kids. So I started looking for something that still had that "zippy" feeling but could haul around 2 kids and a wife.   So, after test driving a ton of cars in all price ranges (the most expensive I tested was the 2007 G35 loaded and the cheapest was the 2007 Honda Fit), I decided to go with the Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V for the reasons in my previous post (and the cabin room that it provided).   But, like I said, it really comes down to which car you enjoy driving. My wife loves her Si and I love my Spec V.   Almost everyone has asked if we have raced yet. And the answer is no. My wife is very strict on the don't drive it hard for 500 miles rule (I'm not... lol). So we'll see in a few weeks I guess.

Replying to: themistocles (Jul 09, 2007 5:45 am) my 2007 civic si has a 10 year 100,000 mile warranty   2007 Civic has 3 year 36,000 mile bumper to bumper and 5 years 60,000 miles powertrain, same as 2007 Sentra.   What is different about your Civic that the warranty is longer?

Replying to: moparbad (Jul 11, 2007 7:28 pm) If you want to see a very good comparison, look at Motortrends new issue, they put the Si head to head with the spec V. Si comes out ahead and i definitely agree.

Replying to: moparbad (Jul 11, 2007 7:28 pm) i got the extended warranty. the dealership sometimes will try n get you to pay like 2300-2500 for it. dont pay that though, I was able to find out from a friend how much the dealership pays for em and got that price.

Replying to: james31278 (Jun 19, 2007 1:41 pm) I have been laughing over your comments reading them. Comparing a 2004 Sentra SER Spec V to a 2007 Civic Si is crazy. The SI is faster, better handling period. End of disussion. Not even close. It would be a cake walk. Replies to this message: themistocles (Jul 22, 2007 6:27 pm)

Replying to: carfanatic007 (Jul 22, 2007 5:05 pm) I think motor trends comparison of the 2007 civic Si vs the 07 sentra spec-V is very good comparing the qualitys of each car. About cat-back systems in your car though... i somehow doubt youd really gain much power if any out of it.. All the restrictions are in the catalytic converter, so putting bigger piping behind it isnt going to do much when its restricted right before it. and in many cases youll actually lose a couple hp in lower to midrange power but maybe gain a couple in higher range power. Really your just splitting hairs(this is just in response of your 04 sentra). sounds good tho guess i wont really get into manufacturer claims on cold air intakes. Anyway, GO SI! hehe

Replying to: bullardohio (Jun 10, 2007 6:29 am) I got the Sentra $650 over invoice, which is actually $350 less than invoice if you consider the rebate.   This is faulty thinking though. You paid $1650 over invoice for the car and Nissan rebated $1000. It looks warm and fuzzy the other way but in the cold light of day it objectively is $1650 over invoice.   I just bought a Civic and looked at the Si. According to Edmunds, as well as dealer quotes around here, the Si is going for well over invoice but a little off MSRP. I don't know where you saw it for below invoice but if that was actually true and not salesman speak to get things rolling that's a good deal. The Missourian in me would have to see it though.

Replying to: k5ldb (Aug 17, 2007 6:12 am) I wouldn't forget the dealer floorplan allowance either. The Sentra isn't a very desirable car in the marketplace and doesn't have the demand that would warrant paying anything over invoice. Let's not factor in the lower quality, lower reliability and lower resale of Nissans either.
