These were a fun driver:

These werent bad, decent power but the shifting was absolutely horrible:

Hopefully this one has a better transmission.
Yep, the B13 and B15 Sentras were great vehicles for enthusiasts. Not refined, and not the highest performers out there, but simple, reliable, and lots of fun to drive. The Spec V definitely had an awkward M/T - but after I switched out the weirdly-shaped shift knob for a shorter round Maxima shift knob, it was much easier to find the right gate. The clutch was good too - damn near impossible to stall that thing.
I'm not a huge fan of the new Sentra design - it's fine, but doesn't really appeal to me - but that powertrain sounds great. I thought Nissan would stick the 1.6L turbo from the Juke in the Sentra, but this is even better!
