Just looking for opinions on what would be the better deal on buying a car and why?

as far as spec v goes 02 too many recalls, 03 same issues, 04 is great ite been perfected and now you get brembo as a option. stock the cars handles very good, plenty of torque and horsepower, nismo has a bundle of add ons that actually make a difference. if you choose brembo option you get a 17inch mesh wheel for a spare (not kidding). its 6- speed. im tired of typing. also go to http://www.nissanusa.com and request a brochure they will send alot of brochures for the sentra.
