Posted: Wed Mar 17, 2004 10:59 pm
Yeah my parents gave me my B-day present about 1 month earily and my grandution present a few years earily. (long story short my Brother truck was having problems at the begining of the semster so we took my dads car. My dad did not like driving my car and he wants back his Honda). Either way I spent yestday looking at cars with my dad to replace my 1992 Sentra SE-R. We look at Mazda 3 5 door s (2.3l enigine 160 hp 5 speed manul it is a hatch back) a Nisan Sentra SE-R Spec V (2.5l enigne 175 Hp 6 speed manul) and a ponica Grand am and a Ponic Vibe (kind of a somethign we though look cool so I got to test drive 2 of them 1 manul 1 auto).
I hate the Grand AM it trany was lazy My dads thinks I should of test drove a V-6 but all of the V-6s they had had sun roof and I dont like sun roof because they eat up about an inch of head room and I would much rather have the extra inch over a sun roof. The Vibe was cool and it lack of power I could of lived with since it had no sportyness to the car. The Mazda had a really nice ride to it it was look really sport and it felt that was driving it. Even though it lack some of the low end power I am used to. I beleive it had a really nice ride to it. Fun to though around. The S
In the end I pretty much was trying to deside on the madza 3 or the SE-R. The Mazda had more cargo Room. The Mazda had a really nice ride to it it was look really sport and it felt that was driving it. Even though it lack some of the low end power I am used to. I beleive it had a really nice ride to it. Fun to though around. The SE-R did ride was a among the stiffest ride but that was because the spincion tires on that car are ment for handlely. The enigne was really pepy and had a lot of power all the way to redline. It handle great and I have to say it was by far the most fun to drive. The interier of the car is cheaper and they cut corner to cut the cost on the inside so they could be more money for the profmances. I end up debating about the 2 cars well into the night but in the end I went back to what I fell in love orginal. I went for the SE-R
The new SE-R has a all the stuff that made the Classic SE-R great. A great engine. Fun to drive a LOT of fun to drive. The manual Trany but this time they add the 6th gear to it so that add a lot to the apple. My dad like the choose because it was the cheapest of the cars we look at but I loved it. it was 1000 more than the car we test drove because it had the 1000 dollar brake opation added to it but that was because white is a really does not look good on this car and Red looks great and to my dad it was worth the extra cost (I dont blame him I would of done the same). To day I enjoy driving it around and tosing it around.
Lastly I think we made on happy sells guy. On his first day of work he talk to us. He admited that I prouble knew more about the car than he did and he skip all that sells crap and safty crap most sells guys will talk about actng like there car is the greatest. He told us about those feature but also stated they are in about every car now days so it nouthing fancy. He skip to the other gimics that he quickly learned about the car that where related only to that car and the stuff that made the Nissan diffent from the others. We went back today the Sells guy came up this mornign to close the deal. Not bad for you second day of work. (mid you the mazda guy on the other had I wanted to tell to shut up that guy told me about all the fancy smamcy stuff that hte madze 3 had on it that every car has on it acting like it the only car that does.... dumb ass it works great on people who dont know a lot about cars but when it came to my dad and me we knew a lot of the crap already.)
Yeah I love my new car. I went from a 92 SE-R to a 2004 SE-R
