I would LOVE to have one of those cars to tool around in , it's a nice little unit . Maybe a new Spec-V is in my future ...
But the new V-Spec is far from the same car...
1) Weight up over 250 lbs
2) "Tractor" 2.5L out of revs at 6100 (WTF!) vs 7000-7500 for the 2.0L (sweet motor)
3) 6 speed has been universally dismissed as poor compared to the nice 5 speed of old
4) It's kinda cheesy lookin'
Personally if I wanted a small Nissan, I would look for a nice used SER
