Well, I personally didn't think much of the Spec-V as a car to live with every day. The ride is absolutely punishing, and the handling doesn't benefit enough to make it worth it. The car is quick, but the low redline forces overly frequent shifting than what you should be able to get away with in a large displacement engine (for the car's size and weight.)

The interior is garish, and suffers from the Sentra's general lack of class. The rear seat is a cheap thing which doesn't fold unless you buy the overpriced Audio Fanatic package. Then the 60% side folds only.

The car is good by the bullet points, but the whole is less than the sum of its parts.


You can pillage an enemy once, but a customer is an endless resource.
