Pros:

Good power/torque/HLSD/Stiff Suspension/Bright headlight output/Comfty seats/Rocksford system sounds good but could be better/ Side airbags/abs/Chip in key /17" rims.

Cons:

Transmission input/output shaft starting to whine alredy(making noises) / butteryfly screws /
Windows already creaking / Steering sucks - lots of 3 point turns / Vanity light twitching / Climate Control light twitching - have to hit it / Alignment is already off.

Review:

2nd best car under 20 grand. Overall, very pleased with the car and performance.
Plenty of torque.
Driving a 00 civic si feels so weak now because it is a torqueless wonder. As stated, secondary intake runner screws have been sucked in...
just search the forums.. too many horror stories
and it took NISSAN 3 years to recall the 2002 models. "BEFORE" i lowered my car with Tein springs, my shocks were already sagging (compression test) and the WHEEL BEARING on the SHOCK ASSEMBLY was already blown, spewing white grease everywhere. As stated on the other review.
ITS A LOVE AND HATE RELATIONSHIP.

Pros:

175hp & 180tq / HLSD / Good suspension / good gas mileage / Dash layout is accessible well designed but doest not feel sporty enough

Cons:

Too many stories of the famous QR25DE butterfly screw dilemma / Transmission is a weak point. /Already have to bring it back to the dealership for window, map light, alignment, transmission problems. / Spec V rear emblem is crooked / Cars made in Mexico might be a reason why its cheaply assembled

Review:

Bought a 2005 Spec V. Very good car overall. Appearance is good but could be better, specially with a droopy rear end.
A B15 chassis with a Maxima 6 speed transmission and Altima 2.5 engine. Nissan should of focused a lot on the little stuff such as interior pieces.
So if your looking for classy car, this cars not for you, but if your looking for a torque steering fun car...then jump right in for a test drive.
This car is a love and hate relationship for me.

Pros:

Good handling, good engine.

Cons:

Prefer 1.6l engine since the fuel is very expensive. bigger interior

Review:

This is a very good sedan, quite, good handling, powerful. I like it very much. I've tried the Toyota Corolla Altis and Honda Civic. But at last I chose Sentra because Sentra simply the better one. Toyota is very near to Sentra, but the handling is not as good as Sentra. Civic is the worst, bad handling, only provide a powerful but not reliable engine.
