So I got an email from Nissan just begging me to come test drive their new car. Since I’ve never reviewed a car before nor do I have particularly good memory. I decided to ask y’all now what you wanna know beforehand (I’m test driving it tomorrow).
*Full Disclosure. Nissan wanted me to drive the new turbo Sentra so bad they sent me a spam email. And probably had to buy my email address from google.

The Sentra has a turbo?

Now it does. And according to the E-mail. “Turbo tuned steering and suspension”
It’s available with a manual, but I don’t know if the dealership I’m going to will have one in stock.

Does it handle better than it looks? Will it keep up with the Civic turbo?

Nice one.
Are the controls easy to use on the move?
What’s the ride / handling balance?
How does it make you feel driving it?

It would be cool to see them build a new SE-R. TURBOOOOOOOO.

I’m driving it tomarrow (I’m op on mobile). I don’t have high expectations based off my old versa and the fact or only has 40 more hp than my 95 integra.
Can’t speak fit the civic since I haven’t driven one but maybe I’ll try one out too. Since all the dealerships are on the same street.

I’ll find out tomarrow! (I’m op on mobile). It’ll be inresting for me since my past two cars have been honda’s old enough to legally drink!

Ikr, don’t think this will be very performance oriented based off the “turbo tuned steering and suspension” in the email, but hopefully there’s a hot hatch down the pipe!

Have you driven a Juke, or can you when you go in to drive the Sentra? If so, I’d be interested in how they compare speed and handling-wise. The Juke was the only car with the 1.6T here until they added it to the Sentra. The Juke drives pretty well and I wonder if any of that came along or if it is just the same numb Elantra-esque experience just now with boost.

Good idea, I’ll try to check out a Juke while I’m there.
I’m also going to try to check out a few other compacts since all the car dealers are close together. Probably the Civic 1.5t and the new Cruze.
