2002 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V SE-R Spec V 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6M)
comprehensive review
 '03 Spec w/ 8k mi.  What it has 
that its competitors do not are 1)
torque 2)limited slip differential, 3)
4 doors.  Hands down best value 
under $19k (fully loaded).
Car has great feel to it.  Bolstered 
seats, leather wrapped steering wheel, 
sweet shift knob.  Red-lit dash great 
at night.
Car is all-round performer.  Tuned 
suspension and LSD enable it to handle 
with the best.  2 words: Canyon 
Carving.
Gear ratios perfect for accel, 
although the Spec kinda drags (lots of 
wind noise too) beyond 115 mph.  6th 
gear short = rather high rpm (3100?) 
at 85 = bad on gas.
Easy to launch, can lay down rubber in 
2nd and 3rd.  Decent aftermarket, 
for NA or FI.
