SE-Rs have problems still? Sucking shit into the engine or w/e, I don't feel like having to buy a header cause nissan got lazy in the factory.

I'll probably go test drive both. Anyone elses opinions?

Corolla XRS vs Sentra Spec V < SRT-4

Even if the .01% chance something got sucked into your engine, you'd be under full warranty. If you keep the car past the 6yr./60,000mi. warranty, get a header.

a good friend of mine bought an '03 spec v. awesome car, really. only thing is, he payed right around twenty-two for it, which put it well out of the price range of any corolla. if they're now going for what people say they are, i would definitely pick one over the corolla.

Hah, that reminds me...friend of mine with a Spec V recentlu blew up his engine which was replaced for free under warranty. He's kind agressive, but now that I think about it hes nowhere near stupid enough for it to be his fault...

for the record I'd pick the Corolla. Simply because of the gas mileage. Spec V's eat gas compared to its brethren competition.

I've heard the XRS's suspension is not really up to par with the engine.
