2006 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V review from North America
"After six months of driving this car, I am very impressed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing large or expensive has gone wrong with my Spec V. I've taken it in a couple times to have them:
Tighten my seat (driver-side).
Tighten my spoiler.
Tighten my shifter.
It seems weird to me that all those items could be loose at the same time. One of the mechanics told me that the reason the shifter is loose is because that's how they're designed. I still don't really believe that Nissan would design a shifter that's more loose in gear than in neutral.
General comments?
When I took possession of my Spec V it had around 300 miles on it. I was leery about how the car would perform.
To my surprise, the car is very quick off the line.
The anti-roll bars and strut tower bar keep the car's feet permanently attached to the road at all times.
The car is light, which also helps with performance and handling.
The race-inspired seats are comfortable for short drives, but driving for any longer than a hour and a half can start to hurt.
After six months of driving this car, I am very impressed.
