Went car browsing today, a lot of information...

Ok, so I went car browsing the past few days, and let me just say, foreign cars have got it down!

I test drove a MazdaSpeed3, which was silly fast, but insurance would be to much for me. I test drove a GTI, that was quick, but to many bells and whistles.

The car that I fell in love with, once I sat in it and saw it, was the new Sentra SE-R Spec-V. It's a 200hp free revving engine, with 180 trq. It was an amazing car, and its not over done, its all "performance."

Just letting ya'll know, however do you think insurance would be about the same on a MS3 and a Spec-V?

SE-R is about as fast as the new civic SI. Right at 15 flat. Will insurance be the same? Doubt it but goto...

And get some quotes.

sorry but the new spec-V is pretty ugly.

IMO I would pick either GTi or MS3, for insurance, I have no clue what it would be.

Is the sentra a 2 door? ..... i think the speed3 would be a little cheaper because it is a 4 door and most insurance companies charge less for a 4 door then a 2 door.... my friends srt4 is consider a 4 door family sedan by the statefarm he uses.

Wait... you've gotta be kidding... the new Sentra?? The tuner car that isn't. I hate to say it... but atleast the Civic looks good and has a little bit of street cred. The new Sentra looks like the typical cutesie commuter car and will perform like one too.

The new sentra Spec V is garbage, they all have been pretty much. Whoopdeedoo, so it has a G meter that isnt accurate. They MS3 will probably have higher insurance but get it, it is teh faster.
