Corolla - because sentras have shitty safety ratings

I would get the Sentra as well...

The torque difference is quite a bit plus I believe the spec V has the Brembo's and the LSD on it. Same price basically as the Corolla.

Didnt we have this thread a few weeks back?:repost: ?

quick reply (strictly my opinion):

sentra: way faster, lots of modding possibilities, enthusiast car

keeping with Nissan tradition, it should only be good
for 5 years before it starts giving u trouble. Lease it

Corolla: its a Toyota, Its almost guaranteed to be on the road
10yrs down the road. comfort car. Its a Toyota

Its a corolla, your mom would be proud of your decision
Finance it

ps. looking at Nissan's recent management AND production issues, i would really not get a 'new' Nissan. imho

Well I'm bias as well, but just look at the link in my sig if you want to know what you can do with a SPEC V.

I can also hook you up with ANY performance part you need for that car.

Corrolla is nice... I was looking at one last week to buy as a winter car. :) They do have good rep for being on the road forever. But someone also said that you're MOM would be proud. Personally if I bought a car to impress my mom, I might of gone with a Corrolla too. :) But I got one to impress myself.

Good luck with your decision.

Spec - V is a better car overall.. better handling ..

but .. I will go for the corolla .. with much better reasale, safty feature, and should be more reliable !

It is you call ! :)

Hmm, thats a tough one.

If I did not have to be concerned with resale and reliability, I would go with the Spec-V. That said, the Corolla would be me choice.

When buying a car, I always ask myself: what will this be worth in 4-5 years?

We all know that the Corolla will be worth thousands more.

How much more fun will you have had in the Spec V? It may resell for less but that's the price of fun ;)

The Corolla XRS is for those Corolla buyers that just want a little more pep in their sensible car aka the boring people who's top concern is still economy. The Spec in this comparo is for everyone on Beyond and the like... except for t-im, but he plans on crashing his cars....:D

I would pick the Corolla. There is no way I would pick any FWD car for any sporting/performance reason. The Toyota has a more lax/cheaper maintence schedule, pierceved realiability, better resale and built together better. Too bad they have that stupid "Access Toyota" price fixing thing going.

I'd pick the corolla because it's faster in a straight line, has a HLSD, pulls through turns faster, has more torque, 17" wheels, has crappy paint, uses a lot more gas, a beaver tooth in the front (2004+) and a rear beam (who needs fully independent suspension anyway!).

Well okay, that's the Spec V i just described. :D

i would go with a spec v for sure, as many other ppl said, its faster, more potential, etc.
