2006 Nissan Sentra SER-spec V review from North America
"Hands down BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing that went wrong with the car was on a cross country trip from California to Iowa. In Colorado the throttle positioning sensor went out (which means that I completely lost all throttle control, even idle). I contacted the local Nissan Dealership, who sent a tow truck immediately. Nissan paid for my hotel, gave meal voutures, were kind and courteous, and had my car fixed the next day. The part turned out to be a common problem for all of Nissan's 2.5L 4cyl engine.
General comments?
The car is absolutely awsome!!! There is just not enough time to explain all of the cool things about the car. I got mine from the dealership with 4 piston caliper Brembo brakes, Nismo intake, and Nismo exhaust. the brakes perform better than anything that I had ever felt before, with absolutely ZERO fade. The sound of the engine, performance, reliability, torque, handling, and looks of the car; make it the absolutely best choice hands down. Most front wheel drive cars will understeer if you push them to close to the limits, but The Sentra SER-spec V has such a good suspension that it will actually start to oversteer when pushed to the limits. Which is a lot easier to recover from than understeer.
