Mr. Outacontrol 
2004 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V SE-R Spec V 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6M)
Compare apples to apples
 What most of the econosport reviews say 
about the spec-v is generally on target
(among the fastest but not as 
refined)...BUT...what they gloss over 
is that they are comparing the spec-v 
to cars costing thousands more.(Mine 
cost $14,500).  Yes, it's a bit crude 
compared to a Mazdaspeed or Si, but 
compared cars with the same price such 
as a mid level corolla, mx3,or civic, 
the level of performance and FUN is 
outrageously better.
