finally the 2 DD! - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

RBrum · 10-06-2008, 07:34 AM

ok so through looking at the cars i posted on my previous post ive come to the conclusion of the 2. one being the nissan sentra SER spec v and the other, the VW gti. the years for both range from 2003 and up.

the reason i chose these cars is they are both in the price range for me which is under 13k and i can find them with good miles on them

the nissan sentra SER- can be found under 11k with under 40k miles
the VW gti - anywhere from 2003-05 with under 60k

I know in the other post most people chose the rsx but out of these 2 i would like t see what you guys think is a better choice as in mpg, power, reliability and looks.

thanks for the help its really helping me out

RSX.

I really don't like either one of them. That is of course a personal opinion.

sean3 · 10-06-2008, 03:37 PM

If you don't want to wait for/save more for an RSX type S then just go with the SE-R. 40k is low and spending under your budget is never a bad thing. I'd pass on a VW anything.

The Captain · 10-06-2008, 03:43 PM

yea, se-r

LevittownMonster · 10-06-2008, 08:00 PM

I would go with with se-r. But what you should do is go test drive both of them and see what you think.

jdm free · 10-06-2008, 08:03 PM

i would say gti if not rsx-s. ive driven all 3 and hated the se-r. they just arent fun and the gti has a lot of potentially for a lot of power

Polychronopolous · 10-06-2008, 08:28 PM

No rsx? Then get the sentra.

RBrum · 10-06-2008, 09:24 PM

yea i was thinking about the sentra more only because ive had alot of negative response on the gti, has anyone ever had a problem with a sentra? are they good quality?

The Captain · 10-06-2008, 09:27 PM

Please, whatever you do, don't let the opinions of us change which one you get. Go test drive them both and decide which one you like.

DSMTJ · 10-07-2008, 12:09 AM

i like the interior and the ride on the vw's, that's why i chose the jetta. i need torque for the daily and this has plenty of it, oh and right around 11k for 60k miles wasn't a bad price when i got it. i'm sure you can find a 24v gti around that price with those miles now... test drive them both and see what you like better.
