Sentra for me. And Nissan is a bit desperate to sell these days. I'm sure you can wring a great deal from your Nissan dealer...

Optra for me. Ayaw ko talaga ng styling ng Sentra.

that's why i'm tempted to buy the sentra kasi sobrang baba talaga and pricing scheme nila compare to toyota, honda and other brand.

pero worry ko lang baka may problem sa quality kasi mura nga.

Problem sa quality? Sounds like a Honda

I think it's just because of the current sentra's styling which is a bit dated nowadays that's to blame for the poor sales that's why they're desperate...

But personally I like the Sentra's styling...

agree strongly...
i also like the styling. medyo executive and classy ang dating.

imho, pati interiors ng sentra ok din eh. not to mention the nissan advantage na malakas ang aircon.

dunno about the Optra's ETEC engine, pero ung QG engines on the current Nissans have won awards for fuel efficiency and emissions



i like the optra's styling more, pero pagdating sa engine mas bilib ako sa nissan.

i don't like the current sentra's body, pero somehow i'm drawn to it B)

ano kaya kung matuloy ung nissan-renault and GM alliance no? ano kaya kung nissan engine ang ilagay sa optra? medyo mabigat ng around 90kg lang nga ung kaha ng optra B)

I'd hit the Optra wagon... except for worries about service.. ...but I seriously like the looks and utility of the car.

The Sentra isn't a bad choice. Not the fastest or best-handling, but the ride is relatively smooth and the QG16 is a pretty good engine. There should be no maintenance problems, and with the good number of base model GX's around, QG parts should be readily available from outside suppliers by now.

Also, the interior is pretty comfortable, the new front seats much better than the Sentra seats of old.

Still wasn't convincing enough to keep me from jumping ship and going to Ford, but an okay car, nonetheless, if you're not worried about image.

I'm also for the Sentra. One of the most underrated local vehicles in the market today. Kaya masarap bumili kasi desperado. hehehe. Wala naman hidden defect or anything. Mahina lang talaga brand power ng Nissan dito sa atin. Kaya dami mong discount at freebies na makukuha.

Yung dealer namin dati kulang na lang maglatag ng red carpet para samin.

Nabenta na namin Sentra. Subsequent owner (my uncle) is still extremely happy with it (pinalit niya sa AE101 Corolla niya).
