It only looks good cuz of the egg yolk.
Though I must say that for 20k its a good value.

Specs are decent. Ugly bodywork though. The front is way too blunt and the rear looks inflated. Just like a dozen other little bubble-like cars on the road today.

don't dig the mini-maxima look. as mentioned above, i don't like the "bubble-look"

and holy cow, a NA 200hp four banger? nicely done Nissan. but:

blah, blah, blah and 8-counterweight crankshaft to achieve a higher redline limit of 6,800 rpm.

my 7 year old civic can do that.

The difference is that the Nissan has torque

It's actually closer to a 2005-2006 Altima look.

Edit: Could go either way. The headlights are those of a maxima. Hood, bumper and grill are those of a 05/06 Altima.

The ass-end looks like a Prius to me. :confused: Not a huge fan, though the specs are nothing to sneer at.

It looks disturbingly like a Pontiac Aztec. And it's engine numbers are far from impressive.

"Performance in the SE-R is delivered by the QR25DE engine tuned for 177 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 172 lb-ft of torque at 2,800 rpm (on regular unleaded fuel)."

there's no curb weight listed yet, but at 2900-3000 lbs for the smaller engine 2007 sentra, the base SE-R isn't going to be fast considering the heavy weight and mediocre power.

Yeah it's mini-maxima. The pics look bad, but I think you'd have to see one first hand to make the final judgment.

Anyone surprised that the 2007 Nissan Sentras have gotten below average reviews?

Not sure about the Spec V.

wait, it gets better;

"The SE-R model offers fun-to-drive performance and aggressive, sporty appearance to those who want the convenience of an automatic transmission. The Sentra SE-R, equipped exclusively with Nissan?s Xtronic CVT? (Continuously Variable Transmission), is a unique offering in the sport compact market."

so if you buy the base SE-R, apparently you can only get a CVT
