First Drive: 2007 Nissan Sentra SE-R and SE-R Spec V

[Rotary_Powered]

The Black SER-V is probably the better looking version thus far....

 

[99 Pro]

It actually doesn't look that bad.

 

[Earful]

Yuk....

 

[Antoine]

Is it me or the front-end looks like nouveaux Caddy?

 

[Kansei]

It's just an identity-confused car in general. From the rear shots, it's mini 3rd gen altima, from the front, it's either a caddy or a baby maxima, but the proportions of the car are all wrong so it doesn't pull off any look well.

The fact that they based this sport compact on an SUV chassis = (hand)

'Nuff said.

The C-platform is a multipurpose chassis. It was developed for both Nissan/Infiniti and Renault compact cars and CUVs. It underpins the Nissan Sentra, Rogue/Qashqai CUV, Lafesta 7 pass minivan, X-Trail and Infiniti CX25, and Renault Megane, and Scenic.

there is one of these in my work parking lot and it looks better in person but yet it still looks like all the other nissan cars. (altima, maxima)

 

[$inCitySpeed3]

the only thing i like is or at least think is kinda cool

he SE-R has an oil-pressure gauge and a g-meter to measure acceleration and deceleration

Its regular Sentra right? The SE-R is not down on lots for another 2 months.

 

[mikeyb]

The the C-platform Sentra is considered by the EPA as a midsize sedan.

 

[TampaBlackMSP]

Um yeah, no thanks.

Yup. Purpose built chassis > jack-of-all-trades.

 

[Roywhitep5]

it looks so generic

man, MSPs are aging very gracefully compared all these piggy compacts that are coming out now (Sentra SE-R, MS3, Civic Si)

You mean chunky?

 

[ZoomZoomH]

piggy, chunky, overweight, too much pizza and beer, you know what i mean

It's sad that even Mazda has put on a little weight recently (boom03)

at least Mazda knows to equip their cars with multilink rear suspension or at least some form of independent suspension

 

[Hambino]

Needs a bigger burger on the grill.

Remember I currently drive a pizza and beer fed chunky Nissan.

Oh wait the driver is too!
