too heavy from the front but the rear is ok.
i too was considering a nissan sentra se-r spec v but mainly because i thought the MP3s were sold out. I went to take a look at the nisan dealer knowing i didnt like the exterior styling that much, but i ran from there as soon as i saw the interior....
In my opinion they are nice cars, and now that they have corrected the interior issue thats ok, but the exterior, specially the rear, needs some reshaping.
No need to bash other cars, every person is different so lets all be happy with what we have.
